A：You're finally here! What took so long?你可算到了!怎么花了這么長的時(shí)間?

B：I got stuck in traffic again. There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour intersection.又遇到堵車了.家樂福那個路口老是特別堵

A：It's always rather congested down there during rush hour. Maybe you should try to find a different route to get home.那個地段在高峰時(shí)間里總是特別擁堵.也許你該找條別的路回家.

B：I don't think it can be avoided, to be honest.老實(shí)說,我覺得這個路口繞不開.

A：Perhaps it would be better if you started taking public transpot system to work.沒準(zhǔn)你乘公共交通工具去上班會好一些.

B：I think it's something that I'll have to consider. The public transport system is pretty good.這倒可以考慮.公共交通系統(tǒng)還是挺不錯的.

A：It would be better for the environment, too.對環(huán)境也更好些.

B：I know. I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in this city.我明白.我一想到我的車向大氣排放了那么多的廢氣,我就心情很差.

A：Taking the subway would be a lot less stressful than driving as well.坐地鐵就不會像開車那樣有那么大的交通壓力.

B：The only problem is that I'm going to really miss having the freedom that you have with a car.唯一的問題就是我會非常想念開車時(shí)的自由自在.

A：Well, when it's nicer outside, you can start biking to work. That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides.恩,等到外面天氣再好一些的時(shí)候,你可以騎自行車上班,那能夠讓你體會跟開車一樣的自由.

B：That's true. I could certainly use the exercise!沒錯.我還可以騎車鍛煉身體!

A：So, are you going to quit driving to work then?是啊,你現(xiàn)在是不是不想開車上班了?

B：Yes, it's not good for me or for the environemnt.對,開車對我的身體和環(huán)境都不好.
