出門在外,旅行交通是最關鍵的,要不然哪個景點都去不了。不過這怎么去,怎么說,就成了一個問題。比如現在最流行的網約專車的英語,你知道怎么說嗎?
首先我們就得排除掉“private car”這個詞,因為這詞的具體意思是“私人車輛”,不包含載客運營的意思。而真正的專車服務,應該叫ride-hailing service。
那接下來我們就看看,我們平時會接觸到哪些交通工具和出行方式吧。
1. 專車 ride-hailing / uber
例:You know what’s cheaper and better than a taxi? Call an Uber. It’s a convenient ride-hailing service.
2. 步行 walk / go on foot
例:I need the exercise, so I walk to the office every day.
3. 單車 bike / bicycle

4. 摩托 motorcycle

6. 地鐵 metro / subway / tube / underground railway

7. 渡輪 ferry

8. 私車 car / sedan
例:In the future, electric cars will be even more popular.
9. 出租 taxi / cab
