地道美语听力练习:乘坐轻轨

Jean:Look out!

Gordon:Don't worry. That's just a light rail train.

The new light rail system shares the road with street traffic.

Jean:Phew! For a second there I thought we were going to collide with it.

Gordon:Didn't you see the operator seated at the front of the train?

She watches out for other drivers.

Jean:I didn't know they have operators.

I thought they were automatic.

Gordon:No, they're not like some forms of rapid transit.

Jean:I see now that they ride on tracks and are powered by overhead electric lines.

Gordon:That's right.

Jean:I'd like to give light rail a try.

Gordon:Really? Well, there's no time like the present.

I'll take you to the nearest stop. There's the platform over there.

Jean:But I thought you agreed to give me a ride into the city.

Gordon:And deprive you of a new travel experience? Never!
