同学们,还记得本次四级听力考试第二篇长听力里提到的坐火车上班么?作为欧洲最大的城市之一,伦敦的人口密度超过了每平方公里5千人。由于高额的房价或其它原因,许多人住在郊外或附近的城镇,每天乘坐火车上班。这样的人中不乏高官政要,比如现首相卡梅伦和前首相托尼·布莱尔。

 

David Cameron
The PM – who has urged colleagues to use public transport over Ministerial cars ever since taking office – routinely works on the train to and from his Oxfordshire constituency.

戴维·卡梅伦
卡梅伦首相呼吁政府官员们尽量使用公共交通,不要坐配车上下班。他本人也常常在从牛津郡选区到伦敦的火车上办公。

 


Nick Clegg
The Deputy Prime Minister also uses train journeys to catch up on paperwork, although he has swapped his traditional Red Box for a more discreet black version.

尼克·克莱格
副首相克莱格也常在坐火车上班的路上阅读公文。不过他没有使用传统的红色公文箱,而是选择了更稳重的黑色。

 

Tony Blair
The former Prime Minister Mr. Blair took his ministerial Red Box with him on the train when he travelled to and from his Sedgefield constituency in Co Durham.

托尼·布莱尔
前首相托尼•布莱尔拎着红色公文箱登上从达勒姆郡赛奇菲尔德选区出发的火车。

 

Simon Burns
Transport Minister Simon Burns has been shamed into using the train after his £80,000 chauffeur bill was revealed.

西蒙·伯恩斯
(前)交通部长西蒙·伯恩斯每年花费8万英镑用于私车费用。这一行为被公开后,伯恩斯改坐火车上下班。
