露西的一天 第52期:乘坐公共交通工具去上班講解(2)

In this story, Lucy walks to the subway station. 在這個故事中，露西步行到地鐵站。

A station, "station," is a place where you can get on and off the subway; that's called a subway station. 車站(station)是一個你上下地鐵的地方;那叫做地鐵站。

To get into the subway station, Lucy swipes her monthly pass. 進(jìn)地鐵站，露西刷了月票。

To swipe, "swipe," means to take a card, such as a credit card, and to put it through a machine very quickly 刷(swipe)的意思是拿一張卡，比如一張信用卡，然后很快地把它劃過機器，

so that the machine can read or understand the information on the card. 這樣機器就能讀取或解讀卡片上的信息。

In the subway system, Lucy has a monthly pass, "pass." 在地鐵系統(tǒng)里，露西有一張月票(pass)。

A pass is like a ticket; it's a ticket for an entire month - for thirty days. 月票是一張票;這是一張可以用整整一個月的票——30天。

So, she swipes the card through the card reader, we would call it, and that card is her monthly pass. 所以，她在讀卡器上刷卡，那張卡就是她的月票。
