I get the Tube to work, which in the UK is the underground train.
我会使用地铁（在英国，地铁被称为“Tube”）来出行。
So, I walk to the station around 15 to 20 minutes, and then I get the underground train,

one train, and then I change and then get another one, and then I walk to work.
先乘坐一列火车，然后换乘另一列火车，最后再步行去上班。
What about you?

I do that, but before, before your bit, I have to get a bus as well.
我确实会那么做，但在你开始讲话之前，我也得先坐公交车才行。
Are you that far away from the station?
你离车站真的有那么远吗？
A couple of miles.
几英里而已。
OK.
好的。

What do you think about it?

I think the Tube is very convenient, actually, because the trains go very frequently.

So if you miss one, you can wait just a couple of minutes and get the next one.
因此，如果你错过了某个机会，只需等待几分钟，就可以获得下一个机会。

Driving is a really bad idea.
