The car is in the shop, so today I'm taking transit. 车子送去修了,所以我今天坐公共交通。
I tap my card at the gate, and it beeps me through. 在闸机上刷了卡,‘哔’的一声我就进去了。
The train is packed, so I squeeze on and grab the handrail, 车里挤满了人,我硬挤了上去抓紧扶手,
bracing myself as it lurches out of the station. 车子猛地一晃开出车站,我赶紧稳住身体。
I keep my bag in front of me and my phone in my pocket — 我把包护在身前,手机揣在兜里——
just city habits. 纯粹是在城里生活养成的习惯。
When an older man gets on, 上来了一位上了年纪的老人,
I stand up and give up my seat; 我站起身把座位让给了他;
he thanks me with a tired smile. 他带着疲惫的微笑向我道谢。
I'm so lost in a podcast that I almost miss my stop, 我听播客听得太入迷,差点坐过了站,
and have to slip out through the doors just as they're closing. 只能赶在车门快要合上的瞬间赶紧钻了出去。
There's a strange kind of togetherness on a crowded train — 拥挤的车厢里有一种奇妙的同行感——
a car full of strangers, all quietly heading somewhere. 满车素不相识的陌生人,都在默默地奔向各自的目的地。
I step onto the platform, 我踏上站台,
follow the crowd up the stairs, and out into the morning. 跟着人群走上楼梯,走进了清晨。
