When travelling by train, I usually arrive at the train station at least half an hour early. I always buy my tickets online and there's no need to collect paper tickets. At the station gates, I just need to scan my ID card or the QR code I've got after booking on the Railway 12306 App.
乘火车旅行时，我通常至少提前半小时到达火车站。我总是在网上买票，不需要取纸质车票。在火车站检票口，我只需扫描身份证或在铁路 12306 App 上订票后获得的二维码。
After entering the station, I go to the security check. There, I have to put my luggage and bags on the conveyor belt. My belongings go through the scanner while I walk through the metal detector, and then a security officer scans me with a hand-held metal detector. After I pass the security check, I can pick up my belongings.
进站后，我去安检。在那里，我必须把行李和包放在传送带上。在我通过金属探测器时，我的物品会经过扫描仪，然后安检人员会用手持金属探测器对我进行扫描。通过安检后，我就可以拿走我的物品了。
In the concourse, there are many screens showing train schedules and waiting halls. I always wait in Waiting Hall No. 2 for trains that travel to my hometown. There are many seats in the waiting hall, though during holidays almost all seats are taken. There is a bottle filling station in the waiting hall where I can get hot water. There are also toilets in the waiting hall.
在大厅里有许多屏幕，显示列车时刻表和候车室。我总是在 2 号候车室等待开往家乡的列车。候车室里有很多座位，不过节假日期间几乎所有座位都有人坐。候车室里有一个饮水处，我可以在那里打热水。候车室里还有洗手间。
There are announcements when boarding begins. Boarding usually starts 15 minutes before departure and stops 5 minutes before departure. Passengers usually start lining up at the boarding gates well before they hear the announcements.
开始检票上车时会有广播，通常在动车出发前15分钟开始检票，前5分钟停止检票。乘客通常在听到广播之前就已经开始在检票口排队了。
At the boarding gates, I scan my ID card or QR code again. When I get through, I head to the platform. If I have enough time, I look for my carriage and board there. Otherwise, if the train is about to leave, I get on first and go to my carriage later.
在检票口，我再次扫描身份证或二维码。检票通过后，我就前往站台。如果时间充裕，我会先找到自己的车厢然后再上车，如果列车即将出发，我就先上车，然后再去我的车厢。
I always travel in second class. The seats in second-class carriages are arranged five in a row, labelled A, B, C, D, and F. A and F are window seats while C and D are aisle seats. When I find my seat, I put my suitcase on the overhead luggage rack and sit down. When the passengers around me are all settled, I put down the foldable tray table and adjust the seatback.
我经常买二等座。二等车厢的座位是五座一排，分别标有 ABCDF。AF是靠窗座位，CD是靠过道座位。找到自己的座位后，我把行李箱放在头顶的行李架上，然后坐下。等周围的乘客都落座后，我放下可折叠小桌板，调整座椅靠背。
During the journey, I usually read, listen to music, or take a nap. If my phone battery is low, I use the power socket under the seats. Now and then, a conductor pushes a trolley through the train, selling boxed meals, instant noodles, soft drinks and snacks. Sometimes a conductor walks down the aisle with a big plastic bag to collect rubbish.
在旅途中，我通常会看书、听音乐或睡一会儿。如果手机电量不足，我会使用座位下的电源插座。列车上不时有列车员推着手推车，售卖盒饭、方便面、饮料和零食。有时，列车员会拿着一个大塑料袋在过道上收垃圾。
Generally, I don't leave my seat except to get hot water or use the toilet. Water dispensers can be found at the carriage connections. Toilets are available at the end of every carriage. There are both Western-style and squat toilets. Each carriage has a small electronic screen that shows whether the toilets are occupied.
一般来说，除了打热水或上厕所，我不会离开座位。车厢连接处有饮水机。每节车厢的末端都有洗手间。厕所有坐厕和蹲厕两种。每节车厢都有一个小电子屏，显示洗手间是否有人使用。
Announcements on the train inform passengers of the arrival stop and the next stop. When the train reaches my destination, I gather my belongings and get off. To leave the station, I scan my ID card or QR code at the ticket gate, the same as when entering the station. There are signs outside the station showing directions to the car park, taxi stand, bus stop and metro station.
列车上有广播告知乘客到达站和下一站。列车到达目的地时，我收拾好随身物品下车。出站时，我需要在检票口扫描身份证或二维码，与进站时一样。车站外有指示停车场、出租车站、公共汽车站和地铁站方向的标志。
