I tried to grab a ride home last night, and it wanted thirty-eight dollars. 我昨晚想叫个车回家,结果要三十八美元。

Thirty-eight? 三十八?

For that short trip? 就那么短一段路?

That's highway robbery. 这简直是抢钱。

It was raining, so the price just doubled out of nowhere. 当时在下雨,所以价格莫名其妙就翻倍了。

That's when I give up and just wait it out with a coffee. 这种时候我就放弃了,干脆喝杯咖啡等一等。

Yeah, I ended up taking the bus. 是啊,我最后还是坐了公交。

Saved thirty-five bucks and a bad mood. 省了三十五块,还省了一肚子气。

Honestly, the bus wins more often than people admit. 说实话,公交赢的次数比大家愿意承认的要多。
