2-- I got stuck in traffic again. There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour intersection.
1-- it's always rather congested down there during rush hour. Maybe you should try to find a different route to get home.
2-- I don't think it can be avoided, to be honest.
1-- perhaps it would be better if you started taking public transpot system to work.
2-- I think it's something that I'll have to consider. The public transport system is pretty good.
1-- it would be better for the environment, too.
2-- I know. I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in this city.
1-- taking the subway would be a lot less stressful than driving as well.
2-- the only problem is that I'm going to really miss having the freedom that you have with a car.
1-- well, when it's nicer outside, you can start biking to work. That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides.
2-- that's true. I could certainly use the exercise!
1-- so, are you going to quit driving to work then?
2-- yes, it's not good for me or for the environemnt.

1--你可算到了!怎么花了這么長的時間?
2--又遇到堵車了.家樂福那個路口老是特別堵。
1--那個地段在高峰時間里總是特別擁堵.也許你該找條別的路回家.
2--老實說,我覺得這個路口繞不開.
1--沒準你乘公共交通工具去上班會好一些.
2--這倒可以考慮.公共交通系統(tǒng)還是挺不錯的.
1--對環(huán)境也更好些.
2--我明白.我一想到我的車向大氣排放了那么多的廢氣,我就心情很差.
1--坐地鐵就不會像開車那樣有那么大的交通壓力.
2--唯一的問題就是我會非常想念開車時的自由自在.
1--恩,等到外面天氣再好一些的時候,你可以騎自行車上班,那能夠讓你體會跟開車一樣的自由.
2--沒錯.我還可以騎車鍛煉身體!
1--是啊,你現(xiàn)在是不是不想開車上班了?
2--對,開車對我的身體和環(huán)境都不好.
