Lucy gets "on and since 1 it's so crowded," or because there are so many people there, 露西“上车之后”，因为车上“太拥挤了，”或者因为车上人很多，
"there aren't any seats 2" and so she has to stand, and she stands by "holding onto 3 a handrail," "handrail," (one word). “没有座位”，所以她不得不站着，“抓住扶手(handrail)”站着。
A handrail is a piece of metal 4 that is in a subway 5 train that you can grab 6 onto. 扶手是一块金属，在地铁里你可以抓着它。
You can hold your hand around this piece of metal so that you don't fall when the train goes forward 7 and stops; 你可以抓住这块金属，这样当列车发动和停下的时候你就不会摔倒；
this is called a handrail because it's where you put your hand. 这叫做扶手，因为你的手扶在了上面。
