【在生活中學習語言】How Much Should I Pay? 我該付多少錢?
2008年11月03日蘋果日報
對話
Passenger:Excuse me. How much is the bus fare for me and my two daughters?
乘客:不好意思。我和我的兩個女兒要投多少錢?
Bus Driver:It's NT$15 for adults. Bus rides for babies are free of charge. And how old is the little girl?
公車司機:成人15元。小嬰兒搭公車免費。那小女孩幾歲了?
Passenger:She is 10 years old.
乘客:她10歲。
Bus Driver:Well, children under 12 years of age pay NT$8.
公車司機:嗯,12歲以下的孩童要投8元。
Passenger:OK. I see. That adds up to NT$23 for the three of us.
乘客:好,我懂了。我們3個加起來總共23元。


「句」細靡遺
★It’s NT$15 for adults. 成人15 元。
以下列舉成人投現的說法:
It will cost you NT$15.
(您要投15元。)
The adult price is NT$15.
(成人的票價為15元。)
Adults must/need to pay NT$15.
(成人須投15元。)
★Children under 12 years of age pay NT$8.
12歲以下的孩童要投8元。
若乘客是小孩或年長者,相關票價說法如下:
A child under six years of age can ride free of charge.
= A child under six years of age can ride for free.(6歲以下的孩童搭公車免費。)
Senior passengers over 65 only pay NT$8.(65歲以上年長者,搭公車只須投8元。)


字字珠璣
★fare n.(搭乘交通工具的)車費,票價
例:How much is the bus fare from here to the train station?
= What is the bus fare from here to the train station?(從這裡搭公車到火車站要多少錢?)
例:The company will pay for my train fare.(公司會幫我付火車票價。)
★free of charge 免費
= for free
例:If you buy one large pizza, we’ll give you another free of charge.
(如果您買一個大比薩,我們會免費再送您一個。)
