DIALOGUE 51

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指交通規則所限定的行車速度。
2）About twenty minutes by bus是省略句。全句應是
It takes us about twenty minutes to get to school
by bus. take作“花費”“需要”解，其后的us是間接
賓語，about twenty minutes是直接賓語。it是形式
主語，真正的主語是不定式短語to get to school by
bus.

===================================
譯文:

1--開快點,辛迪!
2--不能再快了,這里的時速限制是30英里。
1--真遺憾！我就愛車開得飛快。
2--你們平常怎么去學校？
1--我們從來不坐小車！我們總是步行或者乘公共汽車去。
2--路上得走多長時間？
1--乘公共汽車20分鐘左右。
