地道美语开心学:交通差?住在公司附近才是王道!
视频梗概:
Mike left office about an hour ago, but he has been waiting for his bus until now. Though it's only 3 o'clock, he already has a five o’clock shadow. That's because he is a morning person. He starts to work at 6 am every day. Working in the morning shift has its advantages, one of which is that it's a great way to beat traffic. We all find it horrible to drive home in rush hour, it's bumper to bumper. Especially for Mike, whose commute takes him more than one hour and a half. But today, due to the long-delayed bus, Mike is not gonna avoid rush hour anymore. Poor Mike, isn't it wise to live by your working place!
five o’clock shadow: 胡子茬
morning person: 习惯早起的人
commute: 上下班
bumper to bumper: 塞车
