D: you're finally here! What took so long?


P: I got stuck in traffic again. There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour intersection 1.


D: it's always rather congested down there during rush hour. Maybe you should try to find a different route 2 to get home.


P: I don't think it can be avoided 3, to be honest.


D: perhaps it would be better if you started taking public transpot system to work.


P: I think it's something that I'll have to consider. The public transport 4 system is pretty good.


D: it would be better for the environment, too.


P: I know. I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in this city.


D: taking the subway would be a lot less stressful 5 than driving as well.


P: the only problem is that I'm going to really miss having the freedom that you have with a car.


D: well, when it's nicer outside, you can start biking to work. That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides.


P: that's true. I could certainly use the exercise!


D: so, are you going to quit 6 driving to work then?


P: yes, it's not good for me or for the environemnt.


你可算到了!怎么花了这么长的时间?

又遇到堵车了.家乐福那个路口老是特别堵/

那个地段在高峰时间里总是特别拥堵.也许你该找条别的路回家.

老实说,我觉得这个路口绕不开.

没准你乘公共交通工具去上班会好一些.

这倒可以考虑.公共交通系统还是挺不错的.

对环境也更好些.

我明白.我一想到我的车向大气排放了那么多的废气,我就心情很差.

坐地铁就不会像开车那样有那么大的交通压力.

唯一的问题就是我会非常想念开车时的自由自在.

恩,等到外面天气再好一些的时候,你可以骑自行车上班,那能够让你体会跟开车一样的自由.

没错.我还可以骑车锻炼身体!

是啊,你现在是不是不想开车上班了?

对,开车对我的身体和环境都不好.
