出租车司机

The area between the two places was once the main burial ground in Beijing in ancient times, right up to the Great Qing—at least, that's what the taxi driver told me.

这两个地点之间的一片地方，在古时候，在清代时候是北京的主要墓葬地，最起码，出租车司机是这么告诉我的。

I worked as a cabby for the summer.

在夏天我当了出租车司机。

I once asked a cabby to describe his life to me and he did not stop talking until I arrived home half an hour later !

我曾问出租车司机描述一下他的生活，直到半小时后到了我家以后，他也没有停止说话！

One night I shared dinner with a few hotel guests, a local cabdriver, and his sister.

一天夜里，我和几位饭店的客人，还有一位当地出租车司机和他妹妹一起吃晚饭。

A second longed for his native Manhattan, where he was a cabdriver.

另一个是曼哈顿的出租车司机，他也开始想家，渴望能回去。

On the way to see "Slumdog Millionaire" in Kolkata , I had my cabdriver pass through the slum district of Tangra. I lived there more than 35 years ago, when I was in my late teens, but the place has barely changed.

在加尔各答去看"平民窟里的百万富翁"的路上，我让出租车司机，特意经过了坦格拉的贫民窟。35年前，我居住在那里，那时候我刚刚步入青年，但是这里丝毫没有变化。

I was invited to a housewarming party, and, as my cabdriver wound his way down increasingly potholed and dingy streets, I began wondering whether he'd got the address right.

我受邀参加一个庆祝乔迁之喜的聚会，当出租车司机七拐八拐地把车开向越来越坑洼不平和脏乱不堪的街道时，我开始怀疑他是否听清了地址。

It is about constant battles for subway seats,for a cabdriver's or a clerk's or a waiter's attention,for a foothold,a chance,a better address.

在纽约，各种各样的冲突接连不断，其产生的原因有很多：有的是为了在地铁里争座位，有的是为了引起出租车司机，职员或者服务员的注意，有的是为了找个落脚点，寻找机会，获得更好的地址，也有的是为了做更好的广告。

It's set about a tenth of a mile off the highway, and when I visit I usually have to tell the cabdriver about the exit on the left, because it's easy to miss.

入口隐在离公路大约 0 。 1 英里的后方，我通常要不断提醒出租车司机留意左边的岔道，不然很容易错过。

Some drivers run through traffic lights for five or six seconds after the light has turned red , and it stirs them with pleasure . The cabdriver conveniently neglects to throw his flag upon arrival at your destination ,and while you are paying him ,an additional ten cents rings up . It seems to please him more than any other money he has made all day . The hatcheck girl has no change for a dollar .

驾车的人经常在红灯亮起后仍然闯线，引起路人的恐慌似乎是他们的乐趣；出租车司机在你到达目的地后仍然不停止打表，这样他就能在你拿钱付账时多挣上10美分，这点小钱似乎比他一天所挣的正当收入更能使他快乐；而衣帽间的女侍者们似乎从不带零钱以便找给顾客。

I think he's learned how to approach hitters....

Johhny Damon说，『他已是最好的了，再没有人能够比他做的更好，我想他的球技已经完全成熟了，而且他也已经学会了如何去对付和压迫各种打击者。。。。。。

In effect, an 18 foot King Cobra could actually look down onto the average human being.

际上，一个18尺眼镜蛇王其实可以俯视到的平均人。
