John:

Today,we'

reinLiverpool.

SunChen:

ThehomeofTheBeatles.好了，我们今天要介绍的城市就是利物浦。

当然要说起利物浦，我们马上能在嘴边提起来的，肯定就是来自这座城市的甲壳虫乐队，那利物浦还有什么让它出名的吗？

我们要和Perry去参观利物浦的中国城Chinatown.Anthony还要给我们挨个说说利物浦街头当中很奇怪的街头雕塑。

Theyareverystrange.

TheRoyalLiverBuildinginLiverpool

FirsttoChinatown.PerryshowedtheBBConeoftheoldestpubsinChinatown.

一会儿Perry说话的时候，我们会听到他说过去的酒吧服务生喊关门的时间calltime.这个酒吧用语通常是酒吧马上就要关门，停止卖酒的时候用的。

Perry带我们到了一家利物浦最古老的酒吧。

据说以前好多这儿的中国人就经常来这个酒吧碰头。

这就是我们刚才发现的一个在利物浦说中文的酒吧。

利物浦还有些什么好玩儿的呢？

Ajuxtaposition就是并排出现。

说起利物浦街头那些奇怪的雕塑，Anthony就兴奋不已。

我们来听听他是怎么给我们介绍的。

手提箱suitcases,在大街中间.这个雕塑表述的其实就是那些从利物浦乘船到很远的地方去的人们，结果他们把行李却落在了这里。

地铁。

你知道在英国俚语是地铁是怎么说的吗？

如果你还不知道，那就仔细听听看吧。

伦敦的地铁图已经有相当长的历史了。

而且极具创意。

他没有指示地理意义上的车站位置，而是简单的标志出怎么从一个地铁站到另一个地铁站。

Diagram图表，simplified简单的、简化的。

之前，我们已经了解了伦敦地铁，那么在伦敦，人们还有什么其它的公共交通方式可以选择吗？

在伦敦有非常多的公共汽车。

Double-decker双层的。

Butthemostfamouskindofdouble-deckerbuses,theRoutemasters,weretakenoutofservice.

也就是说，已经退出服务了，退休了。

原因是新型的公共汽车更方便残疾人使用。

Disabledpassengers.

儿童推车。

Pushchairs.

这儿，Vicki用了一个非常有用的词儿，公共汽车站。

Yes,abusstop.

现在在伦敦运行的有一种新型的公共汽车叫双截公车。

这是一种单层的车，在两节车厢中间可以弯折。
