Riding the Subway
搭乘地鐵
So you wanna ride the New York City subway—great idea! It's the preferred way for locals to get around, but with 468 subway stations and 24 separate lines, you'll need to know a few things first.
你想搭紐約地鐵－－很棒的主意!這是當地人要趴趴走的首選方式，不過有著 468 座地鐵站和 24 條分線，你會需要先了解幾件事。
How do you find a subway?
你怎麼找到地鐵站？
Easy! You just look for the green ball on top...
簡單!你只要找在上面的綠色球...
Green bulb!
綠色燈泡!
The green bulb.
綠色燈泡。
The New York City subway lines are organized by letter, number, and color. Know which direction you're going. Some stations, like Union Square and Times Square, have an entrance that leads to all lines, but some smaller entrances are one-way, uptown or downtown. Make sure you know you're going in the right direction.
紐約地鐵路線由字母、數字及顏色組成。知道你要往哪個方向。有些站，像是聯合廣場和時代廣場，有能通到各個路線的入口，不過有些較小型的入站口是單向的，往上城或往下城。確認你知道你是往正確的方向走。
A standard ride on the subway is 2.50 for a single-ride MetroCard. As long as you stay underground, you can ride numerous lines on the same card, and even transfer to a bus for no additional fee. If you're in New York for a week, it pays to buy the weekly pass. There's only one way to swipe the card: with the black stripe facing towards you and down.
一般搭乘地鐵，單趟 MetroCard 收費美金兩塊半。只要你待在地下，你就可以用同一張卡搭許多路線，甚至不用額外費用就能轉乘巴士。如果你待在紐約一星期，購買週票很划算。刷卡的方式只有一種：黑色感應條朝向你並向下。
Well, I do believe you should wait for the people to come out, and you should wait to the side. And then when they're out, you should get in, and you should give people some space. You know, if you see somebody elderly, or you see somebody handicapped or somebody pregnant, get out of your seat and let them sit down.
這個嘛，我相信你應該等人出來，而且你應該靠邊等。然後他們出來時，你就可以進去了，而且你應該給人們一些空間。你知道，如果你看到老人，或你看到某個不方便或懷孕的人，離開你的座位，讓他們坐下。
Right, like, when the mariachi band walks through, you know, the doors, you're kinda like—it's gonna be that kind of a morning.
對，像是，在蜂湧的人潮通過門時，你會有點像是－－就是那樣的早晨。
You know, there's certain cars that you don't wanna get into. If at eight in the morning, you see—you're going into an empty subway car, there's a reason that it's empty.
你知道，有特定的一些車廂你不會想進去。如果在早上八點，你看到－－你進到一節空的地鐵車廂，那車廂會空是有原因的。
So go on to the next?
所以走去下一節車廂？
Go on to the next one, yeah.
去下一節車廂，沒錯。
Enjoy the experience. Performances, artwork, and lots of people watching can be found below ground.
好好享受那經歷。表演、藝術，還有觀察人群的經驗，都可以在地底下找到。
