Every weekday morning, I leave my flat around 8 am and walk to the nearby metro station. I walk on the right-hand side of the road, through an open parking lot and then down a sidewalk to Entrance D of the underground station. There, I take the escalator leading underground. If I am running late, I make my way down the escalator, passing the commuters standing on the right.
每个工作日的早晨，我都会在8点左右离开公寓，步行前往附近的地铁站。我走道路右侧，穿过一个露天停车场，然后沿着人行道走到地铁站的D入口。在那里，我搭乘通往地下层的自动扶梯。如果我赶时间，我会绕过站在扶梯右侧的乘客，沿着自动扶梯往下走。
During rush hour, the station usually takes passenger-flow-control measures. Station staff use queue barriers and other facilities to manage and distribute the flow of passengers, preventing overcrowding. I usually have to wait in line for a few minutes before I can enter the station.
在上下班高峰期，地铁站通常会采取限流措施。工作人员使用排队栏杆和其他设施来控制或分散客流，以防止车站内过度拥挤。通常我需要排队等候几分钟才能进站。
At the security check, I put my backpack through a scanner and walk through a metal detector. I then go to the ticket gates, scan my metro card and take the stairs down to the platform, where I wait for Line 6 in the direction of the airport.
在安检处，我将背包放入安检扫描仪，然后走过金属检测器。然后，我去检票口，扫描地铁卡，然后走楼梯下到站台，在那里等待开往机场方向的 6 号线。
The train pulls into the station, and the doors open with a chime. I stand aside and let passengers get off first before boarding. Since there are never any vacant seats at this time of day, I stand for the entire ride.
列车驶入车站，随着一声鸣响，车门打开。我站在一旁，让乘客先下车，然后再上车。因为这个时间从来没有空座位，所以我全程站着。
I take out my phone to read the news, or put on my earphones to listen to podcasts. The metro makes five stops before reaching my destination. As the train slows down, I put away my phone, gather my belongings and move towards the door. I get off quickly once the train comes to a stop, and walk with other commuters to the escalator.
我拿出手机看新闻，或者戴上耳机听播客。地铁在到达我的目的地前会停靠五站。随着列车减速，我收起手机，收拾好随身物品，走向车门。列车停稳后我迅速下车。下了地铁，我随着人流去自动扶梯。
I don't need to change lines, so I head straight for the exit. At the exit, I scan my card at the ticket machine. The fare is 4 CNY for 6 stops. I then go upstairs, leave the station through Exit D and walk to my workplace. My morning commute usually takes about 25 minutes.
我不需要换乘其他线路，所以我直接去出口。我在检票机上刷卡。6 个站的票价是 4 元。然后我上楼，从D出口离开地铁站，步行到公司。我早上的通勤时间通常为 25 分钟左右。
单词笔记
① metro、underground、subway都能表示“地铁”，意思上没有什么区别，主要是使用地区的区别。美国多用subway，英国多用underground，在伦敦人们也管地铁叫the tube，而metro比较通用，像巴黎、上海、广州、成都还有其他很多大城市的地铁英文译名经常用metro。
② rush hour指每天人们上班或下班这段交通高峰时间，地铁公交等等公共交通会非常挤。“早高峰”是morning rush hour，“晚高峰”是evening rush hour，hour在这里经常用单数，不过高峰时间可以持续多个小时。表示“在高峰期间”，用in/at/during rush hour都可以。
③ commute/kəˈmjuːt/可以做不及物动词，表示to regularly travel a long distance to get to work，长距离上下班，通勤。Commute from Foshan to Guangzhou，从佛山去广州上班，也可以说成commute between Foshan and Guangzhou。也可以做名词（可数但是一般用单数形式），表示“上/下班的路程，通勤”。
