Daniel: Dad, hurry! The train is coming. Aha, I am a superman.

Dad: Don’t rush; behave yourself please! Let the people get off first.

Daniel: Oh, we should. There are so many people. What if the train got full before we could get in?

Dad: But, if we all pushed our way in, nobody could get off, and nobody could get in either.

Broadcast: The next station is Dongdan.

Daniel: How many stops are there to the Xidan station?

Dad: There are four more stops.

Daniel: Oh, my God!

Dad: What’s wrong? You are like a little monkey, on pins and needles!

Daniel: Because I need to use the restroom. Is there a restroom on the train?

Dad: No, not on the train, but in the station.

Daniel: Why not? You told me that subway is a kind of train. If it had no restroom. what kind of train would that be?

Dad: Well, that is a question. You want to offer a suggestion?

Daniel: Oh, yeah, but not today. I am busy with praying the subway may get there as fast as possible.

Dad: I guess you’ll never forget today.

丹尼尔：爸爸，快啊，地铁来了。啊哈，我是超人。

爸爸：不要跑，规矩点!先下后上。

丹尼尔：噢，要这样啊。这么多人，要是我们进去之前就挤满了人怎么办?

爸爸：但是，如果我们都挤着进，就没人能下地铁，也没人能进去了。

广播：下一站东单。

丹尼尔：到西单站还有几站?

爸爸：还有四站呢。

丹尼尔：噢，我的天呐。

爸爸：怎么啦?你就像个小猴子，如坐针毡啊!

丹尼尔：因为我要上厕所。地铁上有厕所吗?

爸爸：地铁上没有，不过地铁站里有。

丹尼尔：为什么没有啊?你告诉过我地铁是一种火车啊。如果没有厕所，那还叫火车吗?

爸爸：的确，是个问题。你想建议一下吗?

丹尼尔：噢，我要建议一下，但不是今天。我忙着祈祷地铁尽快到站呢!

爸爸：我想你不会忘记今天的。
