A：白银出租车公司，能为您服务吗?

B：哦，是的。十分钟后，我需要一部出租车。

A：好的。您是从哪里打来的?

B：我在海洋酒店。我叫埃里克·卡特曼。

A：嗯，不过大约要等15分钟。因为现在是交通高峰期。

B：哦，那好吧。

A：您要到哪里去，卡特曼先生?

B：我要去机场。

A：你的航班是几点的?

B：11点30分。我将赶往广州。

A：好的。您能在大厅门口等着吗，先生?

B：好的。我会在那里。让我想想……我会在10点50分到达那里。A：嗯，好的。10点50分，我会在那里。再见。

B：谢谢，再见。

A：Please don't drive too fast. I'm not in a hurry.

B：Yes, Miss.

A：Please wait a moment for me here, and you can let the meter run.

B：As you say, Miss.

A：Now go straight ahead for about four more blocks.

B：Where do you want to stop?

A：Let me get off here, please. How much is the fare?

B：That will be thirty yuan, Miss.

A：Here you are.

B：Thank you, ma'am.

A：请不要开得太快。我不赶时间。

B：好的，小姐。

A：请在这里等我一下，你可以让里程表继续走。

B：全听您的，小姐。

A：现在再往前一直开约4个街区。

B：您想停在哪里呢?

A：请让我在这儿下车。多少钱?

B：30块钱，小姐。

A：给你。

B：谢谢您，小姐。

A：Hey! Taxi.

B：Where are you heading for, sir?

A：Capital Airport.

B：What's your flight time?

A：At 2:00 p.m.

B：I guess we should get there not later than 1:30 p.m.

A：How long is the ride from here then?

B：Well, since it's rush hour now, I'd say the ride would take about thirty minutes, more or less. Is that okay?

A：Yes, that'll be fine. How much is it going to cost me?

B：Watch the meter. My guess is that it'll cost you about twenty yuan, but if we get stuck in the traffic jam, it would be higher.

A：嘿!出租车。

B：先生，您想去哪儿?

A：首都机场。

B：您是几点的飞机?

A：下午2点钟。

B：我想我们应该在1点半之前到达那里。

A：开车从这儿到那里要多长时间?

B：哦，由于现在是交通高峰期，我想大约要30分钟。这样行吗?

A：嗯，好的。这需要花费多少钱?

B：看计价器。我估计要20元。但如果交通堵塞，可能还要高一点儿。

A：Is this taxi taken?

B：No, madam. Where do you wish me to take you?

A：I'd like to go to the Summer Palace. How do you charge?

B：We charge according to the odometer. The starting charge is 10 yuan. When the meter begins, the fare is 2 yuan per kilometer.

A：And how about the waiting fee?

B：Six yuan per hour for waiting.

A：By the way, whom shall I pay, the hotel cashier or the driver?

B：You should pay the driver, according to the hotel policy.

A：I see. Thank you. I'd like to have a round trip.

B：Should the taxi wait for you there?

A：Yes, please wait.

B：But I don't think it is necessary to keep the taxi waiting for you all the time.

A：Why not?

B：Because it will take you at least three hours to go around the park. Besides, it's our rush hour now. And I can come back to pick you up in three hours. That will save you some money.

A：That's a good idea. But be sure to come and take me back.

B：I certainly will. Get in, please.

A：这辆出租车有人坐吗?

B：没有，女士。您希望我送您去哪儿?

A：我想去颐和园。车费是怎样计算的?

B：我们是按里程表收费的。起步价是10元，等里程表开始走动后，每千米收2元。

A：等候费怎么算?

B：一小时6元钱。

A：顺便问一下，车费我该付给谁?付给宾馆收银员还是司机?

B：根据宾馆规定，应该付给司机。

A：我知道了。谢谢。我想坐往返车。

B：车要在那儿等您吗?

A：是的，要等一等。

B：不过我认为不必让车在那儿等您了。

A：为什么不用等呢?

B：因为您在公园游览最少要花3个小时。此外，现在正是用车高峰期。我可以在3小时之后回来接您。那样可以为您节省一些等候费。

A：那倒是个好主意。可你一定得回来接我啊。

B：我一定会来的。请上车吧。
