地道美语听力练习:在自动售票机买地铁车票

Donny:Come on, we need to buy our subway tickets at that ticket machine.

Cayla:Why can't we just get them at the ticket window?

I'm not sure what the fare is.

Donny:There's a long line and we need to catch a train right now.

Cayla:I've never taken the subway before. I don't know how it works.

Donny:Just follow me.

Here, take this card and walk through the turnstile.

Put your card in this slot and then retrieve it as you pass through.

Cayla:Okay, now where do we go?

Donny:Let's look at this subway map showing all of the lines. That's the station we want.

Cayla:Don't we need to get transfers?

Donny:We don't need transfers to take connecting trains. Let's see, we want the express, not the local train...

Cayla:Are you sure we shouldn't just ask somebody, like a station agent?

Donny:Good luck finding one. And plus, I don't need one.

I can figure it out. Follow me. I think that's the right platform.

Cayla:Are you sure that's the right train?

Donny:Yes, and if you ask me another question, you can continue this conversation with those tracks!
