Lesson 97

    By Taxi

    One of the most convenient1 ways to get around a city is by taxi. However, it is also the most expensive way. In some cases, tipping2 is expected, too.

    On the other hand, a taxi driver knows the city like the back of his hand. He can quickly take you to any place you want to visit. The taxi ride might be expensive, but it's time-saving.

    乘坐出租车

    到城市走走最便捷的方法之一是乘坐出租车。不过,那也是最昂贵的方法。有时候还需要给小费。

    就另一方面来说,出租车司机对城市了如指掌。他可以带你到任何你想走访的地方。乘坐出租车或许贵了些,可是它倒蛮省时的。
