例1 Cambridge 7 Test 1 Section1 Question3
Greyhound bus
-$15 single, $27.50 return
- direct to the 2.…..
- long 3.…..
原文
Man: Sure. Let’s see, that would be $15 one way, or 27.50 return…that’s on the Greyhound.
Woman: Oh, that’s quite cheap – great! But whereabouts does it stop in Milton?
Man: It goes directly from the airport here to the City Centre and it’s pretty fast. But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day, so it depends what time your flight gets in.
Woman: Oh, of course. Hang on, we’re due to get there at 11.30 am.
Man: Hmmm, too bad, the bus leaves at 3.45, so you would have quite a wait—more than 4 hours.
