Goiing to School
1--Go really fast,Cindy!
2--I can'. The speed limit here is thirty miles an
hour.
1--What a pity! I love going fast.
2--How do you usually get to school?
1--We never go by car! We usually walk or go by bus.
2--How long does it take you?
1--About twenty minutes by bus.
===================================
注解：
1）speed limitzhi指交通规则所限定的行车速度。
2）About twenty minutes by bus是省略句。全句应是
It takes us about twenty minutes to get to school
by bus. take作“花费”“需要”解，其后的us是间接
宾语，about twenty minutes是直接宾语。it是形式
主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to get to school by
bus.
===================================
译文:
1--开快点,辛迪!
2--不能再快了,这里的时速限制是30英里。
1--真遗憾！我就爱车开得飞快。
2--你们平常怎么去学校？
1--我们从来不坐小车！我们总是步行或者乘公共汽车去。
2--路上得走多长时间？
