实战口语情景对话 第183期:通勤 The Commute（在线收听）

 One of the things that I really like about Japan is Japan has a really good train system. I take the train to work every morning and I take the train home every night. I like the trains because on the trains I can do what I want to do. I can read a book, read the newspaper, listen to music, study Japanese. Um, it's really nice. I see my time on the train as my free-time, to do things that I like to do. Also, the train saves me a lot of money. In Japan it's quite common for companies to pay for their employees train ticket, so I don't have to pay for commuting to work. And because I get to take the train every day, I don't need a car so I don't have to for example pay for gas, car registration, car maintenance, things like that. Also, I don't have to waste time for parking. Um, the worst thing about the trains is that they're very crowded. Very, very crowded, and sometimes it's hard to get a seat so you have to stand for a long time, and sometimes it smells a bit, but overall I like the trains and I'm really, really fortunate that Japan has such a good system. 我最喜欢日本的一点就是日本拥有非常好的列车系统。我每天早上坐列车去上班，每天晚上坐列车回家。我非常喜欢列车，因为在列车上我可以做我想做的任何事。我可以看书，看报，听音乐，学习日语。嗯，这非常好。我把在列车上的时间看作是我的自由时间，用来做我想做的事情。当然列车也为我节省了不少钱。在日本，公司通常会为员工报销车票，所以我不必为上下班的路费花钱。因为我每天都坐列车，所以我不需要买车，我也不必花钱去加油、进行车辆登记、车辆维护等类似的事情。当然，我也不会把时间浪费在停车上。嗯，列车最糟糕的一点是非常拥挤。非常非常拥挤，有时很难有坐位，所以必须要站很长时间，有时车厢里的味道有些难闻，不过总体来说，我喜欢列车，我非常非常幸运日本有这么好的一个系统。
