英語情景教學實戰:在火車站

Long-distance travel by train is not as comMon in the United Stated as it many other parts of the world. Most train travel is in the "Northeast Corridor" linking Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Special express trains called "Metroliners" travel between New York and Washington, D.C. All Seats on these trains are reserved in both coach(2nd class) and club car(1st class). Long-distance trains also serve major cities such as Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Sleeping compartments are available on most long-distance trains and must be reserved in advance. Most trains are operated by AMTRAK, the national railroad corporation.
在美國搭火車去長途旅行沒有在其它國家那樣普遍。很多火車旅行是在“東北走廊”，連接波士頓，紐約，費城，巴爾的摩和華盛頓。特快火車被稱爲“Metroliners”，飛馳於紐約和華盛頓之間。旅客車廂（二級）和俱樂部車廂（一級）的所有座位都是被預定的。長途火車也服務於像亞特蘭大，邁阿密，新奧爾良，芝加哥，洛杉磯。聖弗朗西斯科和西雅圖這樣的大城市。在大多數長途火車上都有睡覺鋪位，必須提前預定。大多數火車是美鐵——全國鐵路客運公司在運營。
