If you take a taxi,try to find out beforehand what the fare will be.When you start your trip,check the taxi meter and make certain it starts at the base rate. When you arrive at your destination check the charge against the estimate you received earlier.Fares may be higher late night or during rush hour.Remember that in the United States taxi drivers are entitled to tips,generally about ten percent of the fare.

如果你搭計程車，要預先了解價格是多少。當你開始旅程時，查看計程車的米表，確保它從基本利率開始。當你達到目的地時，把車費與你提早到達的費用相比較。深夜或上下班高峰時間車費可能高一些。記住，在美國，計程車司機享有小費的，通常來說，小費是車費的10%。

倒霉的乘客

As soon as I walked out of the station,I saw a taxi coming towards me .I waved and it stopped beside me. I got in,banged the door and asked the driver to take me to my friend's house.My friend had told me that it was only a 15 minutes' drive from the station to his house.Unfortunately the driver knew little of the city and couldn't find the street.He drove from one street to another and now and then stopped the car to ask the way.When we finally got to the destination,I found that 40 minutes had passed and I had to pay 30 dollars for the fare.

我一走出車站，我就看見一輛計程車向我開來。我向它招手，它就在我旁邊停下來。我上了車，關上車門，請司機送我到我朋友家。我的朋友告訴我，從車站到他家開車只要15分鐘。不幸的是，司機幾乎不認識這個城市的路，他找不到那條街。他從一條街開到另一條街，不時停下來問路。當我們最終達到目的地時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)過了40分鐘，我不能不支付30美元的車費。
