想让别人系好安全带时你通常会说的话。

However, on buses in the UK, we don't have seatbelts.

Sometimes when you get on a coach or a mini bus, which is different

有时当你上长途汽车或小巴时，这

to our typical public bus, sometimes on these mini buses and

与我们典型的公共汽车不同，有时在这些小巴和

coaches, there will be lap belts.

长途汽车上，会有腰带。

So belts that just go across your lap, like when you're on an airplane,

所以安全带只是穿过你的大腿，就像你在飞机上，

Okay, so let's get on a bus.

好吧，那我们坐公共汽车吧。

It's actually been quite a long time since I last had a bus ride.

自从我上次坐公共汽车以来，实际上已经有很长时间了。

I think I did it with Jacob.

我想我是和雅各布一起做的。

Oh no, I went into London actually with the boys for our dental

哦不，我实际上是 在六个月前

appointment about six months ago.

和孩子们一起去伦敦看牙医 。

So we were due a, a, a checkup and I think we took a bus and

所以我们应该进行一次、一次、一次的检查，我想我们乘坐了公共汽车，

then a train and an underground.

然后是火车和地铁。

So we had quite an, an exciting day of vehicles and transportation.

因此，我们在车辆和交通方面度过了非常激动人心的一天。

But normally I, I don't often take a bus.

但是平时我，不经常坐公交车。

However, when I was younger, I used to use the buses all the time, especially

然而，当我年轻的时候，我总是乘坐公共汽车，尤其

for getting to college or university.

是去学院或大学。

When I was, uh, working in Manchester, I would often take the bus into

当我，呃，在曼彻斯特工作的时候，我经常乘公共汽车去

work, so I'd use it to commute.

上班，所以我会用它来上下班。

And what we do here is we...

我们在这里做的是……

well, now we can go on the internet and look up when the next bus is

好吧，现在我们可以上网查询下一班公交车何时

going to arrive, so we know well in advance when the next bus is.

到达，这样我们就可以提前知道下一班公交车何时到达。

However, when I was younger, we would have to pick up a timetable, a bus timetable.

然而，当我还小的时候，我们必须要有一个时刻表，一个公共汽车时刻表。

So a little sheet of paper that would normally fold up and slip

因此，通常会折叠起来并滑入您的口袋的小纸片

into your pocket, that would have all of the standard times of

将包含所有

all the buses that were running.

正在运行的公共汽车的所有标准时间。

So you would head to what is called the bus stop.

所以你会前往所谓的巴士站。

You head to 'head to' means go to you, head to the bus stop

You head to 'head to' 的意思是去你那里，前往公共汽车站

and you wait for your bus.

，然后等公共汽车。

So you might be sitting at the bus stop looking at your watch thinking "I'm

所以你可能坐在公共汽车站看着你的手表，想着“我

sure the timetable said the bus would be here at five past three, but I can't

确定时刻表说公共汽车会在三点五分到达，但我看不到

see any buses coming" and then finally you can see it coming over the hill.

任何公共汽车来”，然后你终于可以看到它来了山那边。

"Woo-hoo.

“呜呼。

Here's my bus" and so you get on the bus, and you ride on the bus.

这是我的公共汽车”，所以你上了公共汽车，然后上了公共汽车。

So you get on, you physically enter the bus, and you, you ride on the bus.

所以你上车，你实际进入公共汽车，然后你，你乘坐公共汽车。

Now notice I'm saying on the bus you get on you, you ride on the bus, because

现在请注意，我说的是在公共汽车上你上车，你乘坐公共汽车，因为

although we are inside the bus, we use on whenever it is a vehicle that

虽然我们在公共汽车内，但只要它是一种 你可以站起来走动的

you can stand up and walk around in.

车辆，我们就会使用它

So you get on a plane and you get on a bus.

。 所以你上车一架飞机，然后你上了一辆公共汽车。

You get on a ship, okay?

你上船，好吗？

'cause you can stand up and walk around on these particular vehicles.

因为你可以在这些特殊的车辆上站起来走动。

You can also use, hop on and hop off.

您也可以使用，随上随下。

So I might tell you I need to hop on a bus to Piccadilly Circus, and

所以我可能会告诉你我需要跳上去皮卡迪利广场的公共汽车，然后

then I'll hop off, as soon as I get to my bus stop, I'll hop off again.

我会下车，一旦我到达我的公共汽车站，我会再次下车。

So you hop on and you hop off.

所以你上车下车。

公共汽车，或者至少是相同号码的公共汽车和，呃，一路去金斯敦。

So you have a timetable and you go to the bus stop to catch your bus.

所以你有一个时间表，你去公共汽车站赶上你的公共汽车。

Now, of course, you can't just jump on a bus and, and sit down

现在，当然，你不能只是跳上一辆公共汽车，然后坐下来

，然后免费乘车。

That doesn't happen.

things that I used to collect.

Anyway, we won't, uh, we won't dwell on that particular weird fact,

无论如何，我们不会，呃，我们不会详述那个特别奇怪的事实，

but yes, you would pay in cash.

但是是的，你会用现金支付。

These days most buses, I think, especially since the pandemic, most

现在大多数公交车，我想，尤其是自从大流行以来，大多数

buses have contactless payment.

公交车都有非接触式支付。

Contactless payments.

非接触式支付。

So you can use your card.

所以你可以使用你的卡。

In London you can use an oyster card.

在伦敦，您可以使用牡蛎卡。

I think we still have oyster cards here.

我想我们这里还有牡蛎卡。

I, I don't use one myself, but you can use either your, your, your debit card

or your credit card to just tap on the machine, or you can use your oyster card,

It's all very clever, isn't it?

Technology is moving so fast.

技术发展如此之快。

We've come a long way in a very short space of time.

我们在很短的时间内取得了长足的进步。

So you pay your fare.

所以你付你的车费。

I also don't think you get paper ticket anymore.

我也不认为你会得到纸质机票了。

I think you just tap and it goes beep and you go and sit down.

我想你只要轻按一下，它就会发出哔哔声，然后你就可以坐下了。

The one thing that's a shame with all this progression is that there's

所有这些进步中令人遗憾的一件事是

very little talking to the driver.

与司机交谈的次数很少。

I still talk to the driver, but now because they are hiding behind these

我仍然和司机说话，但现在因为他们躲在这些

big screens that are there to protect them, I think probably it was even

保护他们的大屏幕后面，我想可能

more so through the pandemic, but they have these big screens and they

在大流行期间更是如此，但他们有这些大屏幕，他们

don't need to interact with you.

不需要互动与你。

You just tap your card and walk onto the bus.

您只需刷一下卡，然后走上公交车。

But I still think it's nice to say "Hello".

但我仍然认为说“你好”很好。

And you tap your card, they nod their head and you say "Thank you", and you go

然后你刷卡，他们点头，你说“谢谢”，然后你坐下来，

and sit down and then at the end of your ride if I'm passing the driver again I

然后在你的旅程结束时，如果我再次超过司机，我

like to say, "Thank you very much", or "Have a nice day" and jump off the bus.

想说，“非常感谢”，或“祝你有美好的一天”，然后跳下公共汽车。

Hop off the bus.

跳下公共汽车。

Get off the bus.

下巴士。

However, some buses in London I keep saying in London because every area,

然而，伦敦的一些巴士我一直在伦敦说，因为 英国的

every town in the UK has its own company.

每个地区， 每个城镇都有自己的公司。

Or local borough that provides the bus services.

或提供巴士服务的当地自治市镇。

So the buses are slightly different depending on where in the country you are.

因此，根据您所在国家/地区的不同，巴士略有不同。

But in London, some of the buses have a door halfway down the bus, and

但是在伦敦，有些公交车在车的中途有一个门，

this is to help the flow of people.

这是为了方便人流。

So when the bus stops at a bus stop, people get on at the front

所以当公共汽车停在公共汽车站时，人们从

of the bus, and then anyone on the bus gets off via the middle door.

公共汽车的前面上车，然后公共汽车上的任何人都从中间的门下车。

It makes it easier for people to move around.

它使人们更容易四处走动。

There's no waiting around for everyone to get off before you get on.

在您上车之前，无需等待每个人都下车。

However, if you do see a bus arriving and it just has one door at the front,

然而，如果你确实看到一辆公共汽车来了，而且它只有一个门在前面，

you stand back and let everybody else get off before you get on.

你就会退后一步，让其他人先下车，然后再上车。

And in this country, of course, we love to queue.

当然，在这个国家，我们喜欢排队。

So you'll form an orderly line.

所以你会形成一个有序的线。

You'll queue and take turns to get on the bus rather than just push your way in.

您将排队并轮流上车，而不是仅仅挤进去。

It might cause it might cause a problem if you push forwards.

如果您向前推，可能会导致问题。

so you get on the bus and you, you use contactless and you, you pay your fare.

所以你上了公共汽车，你使用非接触式，你付了车费。

If you're buying a ticket in advance, or if you are in another area of

如果你提前买票，或者如果你在另一个地区

the country where they still do use cash, then you might ask for a

他们仍然使用现金的国家/地区，那么您可能会要求

single ticket or a return ticket, depending on what your trip is about.

单程票或往返票，具体取决于您的旅行内容。

If you just need to go one way, you buy a single ticket.

如果您只需要走一条路，就买一张单程票。

If you're coming back, you might buy a return ticket.

如果你要回来，你可能会买回程票。

And then I mentioned of course, the Oyster Card.

然后我当然提到了牡蛎卡。

I mentioned it as if you all know what it is, but maybe you haven't been to London.

我提到它好像你们都知道它是什么，但也许你们没有去过伦敦。

You have no idea what I'm talking about.

你不知道我在说什么。

The Oyster Card is a...

Oyster Card 是一个……

like an easy travel system, the Oyster travel system in the...

就像一个简单的旅行系统，在伦敦的……Oyster 旅行系统

in London.

。

So basically you buy a card and you put money on the card.

所以基本上你买一张卡，然后把钱存到卡上。

So let's say I buy a card and I put 30 pounds on my Oyster card, I then use

假设我买了一张卡，然后在我的 Oyster 卡上存了 30 英镑，然后我

that card on all of the London transport.

在伦敦的所有交通工具上都使用这张卡。

So it could be on the tram, it could be on the underground, it could be on a

所以它可以在电车上，它可以在地铁上，

train if the train is within the London transport system, on the buses as well.

如果火车在伦敦交通系统内，它也可以在火车上，也可以在公共汽车上。

So it just makes sure that you pay the lowest fare for the journey that

所以它只是确保你为

you're making, even though you're using mixed transport or perhaps...

你正在做的旅程支付最低的票价，即使你使用混合交通工具或者也许......

cause in London you might jump onto the tube a couple of times a day, I say a

因为在伦敦你可能一天跳上几次地铁，我说一

couple, I actually mean more like 3, 4, 5 times in the day, to move around the city.

对，我实际上是指一天 3、4、5 次，在城市里走动。

But you don't want to be paying a, a big fare every time, so you pay

但是您不想每次都支付一大笔车费，所以您支付了

like one fare in order to travel within a certain zone for the day.

一次车费，以便当天在某个区域内旅行。

So the Oyster Card is all about helping you to lower your travel costs.

所以牡蛎卡就是为了帮助您降低旅行费用。

So there's quite a lot of vocabulary that I just covered there.

所以我刚刚在那里介绍了很多词汇。

We had to wait for a bus, catch a bus, get on and get off.

我们不得不等公共汽车，赶公共汽车，上下车。

Ride on the bus, hop on and hop off.

乘坐公共汽车，随上随下。

To take the bus to a place.

坐公交车去一个地方。

We talked about the bus stop and the timetable, the bus

我们讨论了巴士站和时刻表，以及

fare that you have to pay.

您必须支付的巴士票价。

The driver.

司机。

Now, sometimes there's a bus conductor, although this is less common these days.

现在，有时会有公共汽车售票员，尽管现在这种情况不那么常见了。

The conductor is someone who assists the passengers on the bus, maybe

售票员是在公共汽车上协助乘客的人，也许会

checks that people have paid.

检查人们是否已经付款。

You would see a conductor also sometimes on the trains, they come around and

你有时也会在火车上看到售票员，他们会过来

make sure everyone's paid for their, for their right to be there on the train.

确保每个人都为他们付了钱，因为他们有权在火车上坐在那里。

We mentioned a, a single, we mentioned a single or return ticket,

我们提到了a，single，我们提到了单程或者往返机票，

and we mentioned the oyster card.

我们提到了牡蛎卡。

Now, I also mentioned a little bit of etiquette.

现在，我也提到了一点礼节。

The proper etiquette of riding a bus if you are in the UK.

如果您在英国，乘坐公共汽车的正确礼节。

I mentioned queuing up, so I said, if you're waiting for a bus, and the

我提到排队，我说，如果你在等公交车，公交车

bus arrives and there's a number of people there, it's polite to form a

来了，那里有很多人，礼貌地排成一个

neat orderly line and wait for everyone to get off, and then one by one in

整齐有序的队伍，等所有人都下车，然后一个人一个是

order of the line to get onto the bus.

为了排队上公共汽车。

Often if someone has been waiting at the bus stop longer than you have, it's only

通常，如果有人在公共汽车站等的时间比你长，

fair to allow them to stand in front of you in the line, and people will

让他们站在你前面才公平，

often step back and urge you to move in front of them if they can see that

如果他们能看到，人们通常会退后一步，敦促你走在他们前面你

you've been there longer than they have.

在那里的时间比他们长。

Another thing that we do is if you are already on the bus, or you are just

我们做的另一件事是，如果您已经在公共汽车上，或者您刚刚

getting on the bus and you have found a nice comfy seat, or you've got bags

上公共汽车并且找到了一个舒适的座位，或者您

on the seat next to you, and then you can see that someone needs the seat

旁边的座位上有行李，那么您可以看到有人需要座位

because it's quite busy, well, if you have your bag on a seat, obviously

，因为它很忙，好吧，如果你把包放在座位上，显然是

it's, it's polite to take your bag and put it on your lap or put it on the

，拿起你的包并将其放在膝盖上或放在地板上

floor to allow the person to sit down.

以允许该人坐下是有礼貌的。

But if you are sitting in a seat and you see someone who's elderly, so an

但是如果你坐在一个座位上，你看到一个老人，所以一个

older person or heavily pregnant, they might even be wearing a badge, we tend

老人或怀孕很重的人，他们甚至可能戴着徽章，我们往往

to have a badge that we wear when we're pregnant that says "baby on board"

有一个徽章，当我们怀孕时会戴上上面写着“baby on板”

or something like that and pregnant ladies tend to wear this to show you

或类似的东西，孕妇往往会穿这个来告诉你

that they might need to sit down.

她们可能需要坐下。

And so if you see someone who's pregnant, wearing a badge, if you

因此，如果你看到有人怀孕，戴着徽章，如果你

see an elderly person or a disabled person, someone who needs, uh, a

看到老人或残疾人，需要，呃，拐杖

stick to walk, then it, it's polite to stand up and offer them your seat.

走路，那么，站起来给他们让座是有礼貌的。

So that they don't have to struggle with standing up on a moving bus.

这样他们就不必费力地站在行驶中的公共汽车上。

I'm sure it's the same in, in your country too.

我相信在你的国家也是一样的。

The other thing is speaking on your phone too loud or being too loud in general.

另一件事是在手机上说话太大声或一般来说太大声。

So if you are on there with your friend, keeping your conversation at a reasonable

因此，如果您和您的朋友在那里，请将您的谈话保持在合理的

level, not being too loud in, in a way that would disturb other people.

水平，不要太大声，以免打扰其他人。

And then finally, I think if it's a busy bus and people are trying to

最后，我认为如果这是一辆繁忙的公共汽车并且人们试图

get on at the front of the bus, it's helpful if you move back down the bus

在公共汽车的前面上车，那么如果你回到公共汽车下方

to make room for more people to get on.

以便为更多人上车腾出空间会很有帮助。

Sometimes the driver may shout to you, "Move down, move

有时候司机可能会对你喊“往下，往下挪

down the bus", or "Move back.

”，或者“往回走，

Move back!", telling you, please move down the bus so more people can get on.

往回走！”，告诉你，请往下挪，让更多的人上车。

Now talking about moving along in the bus, you might actually be able

现在谈论在公共汽车上移动，你实际上可以

to move upstairs because we don't just have single leveled buses.

移动到楼上，因为我们不只有单层公共汽车。

We have double deckers, a double decker bus, a double decker bus in London.

我们在伦敦有双层巴士，双层巴士，双层巴士。

These are typically red, the red double decker buses.

这些通常是红色的，红色双层巴士。

They're iconic for London.

它们是伦敦的标志性建筑。

And it's quite typical for the, the young kids, the young kids.

这对于年幼的孩子来说非常典型。

They might be like 20 or, or something, but the, the cool kids and the

他们可能大约 20 岁左右，但是酷孩子和年轻人

young people tend to go upstair.

倾向于上楼。

You can see much more.

你可以看到更多。

You get a better view and yeah, it's, it's cool to go upstairs or the backseat.

您可以获得更好的视野，是的，上楼或后座很酷。

The backseat is reserved for the cool people.

后座是为酷的人保留的。

If I get onto a bus and there's a rowdy crowd of teenagers all hanging out

如果我上了一辆公共汽车，发现一群吵闹的青少年都在

upstairs or hanging around the backseat, I tend to just stay right at the front.

楼上或后座附近闲逛，我往往会呆在前面。

It just makes me a little bit nervous.

这让我有点紧张。

I think rowdy crowds generally, um, make people nervous.

我认为吵闹的人群通常，嗯，让人紧张。

Anyway, were you the kind of person who sat at the back on a bus?

不管怎样，你是那种坐在公共汽车后面的人吗？

Were you a cool kid?

你是个很酷的孩子吗？

So now I'm going to give you some general kind of facts about buses.

所以现在我要给你一些关于公共汽车的一般事实。

The London bus service, the first London bus service began in 1829,

伦敦巴士服务，伦敦最早的巴士服务始于 1829 年，

and it was a horse-drawn omnibus.

是一辆马拉的公共汽车。

Horse-drawn, if something is horse-drawn, then it means it is moved by a horse.

Horse-drawn，如果某物是马拉的，那就意味着它是由马移动的。

So we talk about a horse-drawn carriage.

所以我们说的是马车。

This was a horse-drawn omnibus.

这是一辆马拉的公共汽车。

The first bus service in London, began in 1829 pulled

伦敦的第一条公共汽车服务始于 1829 年，

by a horse, it was horse-drawn.

由一匹马拉着，它是马拉的。

Now the iconic double decker bus was introduced in London in 1956, so that's

现在标志性的双层巴士于 1956 年在伦敦推出，比

quite a lot later than when the first bus service arrived, and this double decker

第一条巴士服务到达时晚了很多，这种双层

bus replaced the previous trolley buses.

巴士取代了以前的无轨电车。

Now the London bus network is one of the largest and most extensive in the world.

现在，伦敦公交网络是世界上最大、最广泛的公交网络之一。

With over 8,000 buses, can you imagine 8,000 buses and 700 routes.

8000多辆公交车，你能想象8000辆公交车和700条路线。

And of course, as I mentioned, outside of London, bus services are operated

当然，正如我提到的，在伦敦以外，巴士服务

by a variety of private companies and local authorities with some areas, even

由各种私营公司和地方当局在某些地区运营，即使在

today, some areas still have a limited bus service or no bus service at all.

今天，某些地区的巴士服务仍然有限或根本没有巴士服务。

So there are still some very remote areas within the UK.

所以英国境内仍然有一些非常偏远的地区。

Now, even if you don't ride on a bus very often, if you drive in this

现在，即使你不经常坐公共汽车，但如果你在这个

country, then you will definitely have experience of being stuck behind the bus.

国家开车，那你肯定会有被困在公共汽车后面的经历。

Ah, there's nothing worse is there.

啊，没有比这更糟的了。

You're trying to get somewhere quickly.

你正试图快速到达某个地方。

You're trying to be efficient, and it's always when you are running late

你试图提高效率，但总是在你迟到

or you really need to get somewhere and then suddenly there's a bus and

或你真的需要去某个地方的时候，然后突然来了一辆公共汽车，

you're stuck behind that bus and it stops at every bus stop, and it has

你被困在那辆公共汽车后面，它在每个公共汽车站都停了下来，而且它有

lots of people to get on and get off.

很多人们上下车。

Oh, it takes ages.

哦，这需要很长时间。

And if this is the case, it is not uncommon for you to overtake that bus.

如果是这种情况，您超车的情况并不少见。

So you overtake the bus when you have an opportunity.

所以你一有机会就超车。

Of course, you have to be careful when overtaking a bus because

当然，你在超车时要小心，因为

pedestrians do have a habit of stepping out from in front of the bus.

行人确实有从车前跨出的习惯。

So as you are overtaking, you think, "woo-hoo, the road is mine.

所以当你超车时，你会想，“呜呼，路是我的。

I can speed up."

我可以加速。”

Then . suddenly someone steps out from in front of the bus and you

然后 。突然有人从公共汽车前面走出来，你

weren't expecting to see them.

没想到会看到他们。

Ooh, that could be, a bit of a disaster.

哦，那可能是一场灾难。

So always being careful waiting to see where the pedestrians are, if overtaking.

因此，如果超车，请始终小心等待，看看行人在哪里。

If you're a cyclist, then you are also warned to be very careful

如果您是骑自行车的人，那么 如果您乘坐公共汽车，

if you are undertaking a bus.

也会被警告要非常小心

So to overtake is, um, when you pass a vehicle, passing

。 所以超车就是，嗯，当你超车时，
