現(xiàn)在坐火車和你年輕時坐火車有什么不一樣

今天的這段對話，在討論坐火車，
 
現(xiàn)在坐火車和你年輕時坐火車有什么不一樣
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: I understand you recently rode a train from Milwaukee to Minneapolis. Was this the first time you ever rode a train?
 
我知道你剛剛乘火車從密爾沃基去了明尼阿波利斯。這是你第一次坐火車嗎？
 
B: No, I have been on a train many times as a young person but recently in the past 3 or 4 years I have ridden a train again several times. There was a period of time in my life that I did not ride the train, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
 
不是，我年輕的時候坐過很多次火車，最近3、4年我也坐過幾次火車。我有一段時間沒有坐火車，不過我非常享受坐火車的時間。
 
A: How is it different riding the train now then it was back when you were younger?
 
現(xiàn)在坐火車和你年輕時坐火車有什么不一樣嗎？
 
B: When I was younger they had a different set of train people. Back then, you weren't served meals at your seat. You had, if they had a dining car, if they had a dining car, you could go into the dining car and eat but some trains, especially on short distances, like when I lived in Jaffy, Missouri, it was halfway between Memphis and St. Louis. Those were short routes and they did not have dining cars. On this trip that we just got back from yesterday, we had our, we were in the lower car because it's a handicap car. My sister is handicapped, and they brought us a menu, and they brought us a full dinner, including salad and dessert and coffee or tea, whatever we would like to drink.
 
我年輕的時候，有許多不同的列車員。那時坐火車飯菜不是送到座位上。如果火車上有餐車，如果有餐車的話，你可以去餐車吃東西，但是有些火車，尤其是那些短途火車，就像我住在密蘇里州的嘉菲，那里位于孟菲斯市和圣路易斯市中間，那些短途火車就沒有餐車。而昨天我們剛剛坐火車回來，我們坐在了下層車廂，那里是殘疾人車廂。我妹妹是殘疾人，列車員給我們拿了菜單，他們給我們送來了晚餐，包括沙拉、甜點(diǎn)、咖啡和茶，有我們想喝的任何飲料。
 
A: How was the food on the train? Was it better than plain food?
 
火車上的食物怎么樣？比家常菜好嗎？
 
B: Oh, much better. Much better. It was fixed. The chef's did a fantastic job and I understand that it is cooked on the train. It may not be all cooked on the train but it certainly is prepared and the salads are prepared on the train so that you don't get these package food tastes.
 
好多了。好很多?；疖嚿系氖澄锸枪潭ǖ?。廚師做得非常棒，我知道那是在火車上烹飪的食物?？赡懿皇侨慷荚诨疖嚿吓腼兺瓿桑贿^那些沙拉肯定是在火車上準(zhǔn)備的，所以沒有那種包裝食品的味道。
 
A: That sounds fun though.
 
聽起來很有樂趣。
 
B: Oh, it was great fun! We enjoyed every minute of it.
 
非常有意思！我非常享受坐火車時的每分每秒。
