打车 Dǎchē Take a taxi.

在城市，打车是常事，如果你会用汉语叫车，那就
太方便了。看看麦克是怎么说的?
Zài chéngshì, dǎchē shì chángshì, rúguǒ nǐ huì yòng hànyǔ jiào chē, nà jiù tài fāngbiànle. Kàn kàn
màikè shì zěnme shuō de? In cities, taking a taxi is common. If you can call a taxi in Chinese, it will
be very convenient. See what Mike said?

麦克站在马路边，招手打车。好几辆车都是空车，
但是都没有停下来。最后，一辆出租车停在了路边。
麦克上了车，告诉司机他要去的地方。
Màikè zhàn zài mǎlù biān, zhāoshǒu dǎchē. Hǎojǐ liàng chē dōu shì kōng chē, dànshì dōu méiyǒu
tíng xiàlái. Zuìhòu, yī liàng chūzū chē tíng zàile lù biān. Màikè shàngle chē, gàosù sījī tā yào qù dì
dìfāng.

Mike stood on the side of the road, waving for a taxi. Several cars were empty, but none of them
stopped. Finally, a taxi stopped on the side of the road. Mike got into the car and told the driver
where he was going.

麦克:师傅， 去冰安路。
Màikè: Shīfù, qù bīng ān lù.

司机:冰安路?在哪儿?我没听说过。
Sījī: Bīng ān lù? Zài nǎ'er? Wǒ méi tīng shuōguò. Driver: Bing'an Road? Where is it? I haven't heard
of it.

麦克:是京北大厦，在冰安路 22 号。
Màikè: Shì jīngběi dàshà, zài bīng ān lù 22 hào.

司机:噢，是京北大厦呀!那应该是平安路 22 号。
Sījī: Ō, shì jīngběi dàshà ya! Nà yīnggāi shì píng'ān lù 22 hào. Driver: Oh, it's Jingbei Building! That
should be No. 22, Ping'an Road.

麦克:平-安-路， 我的汉语不太好。
Màikè: Píng-ān-lù, wǒ de hànyǔ bù tài hǎo.

司机打开计价器。
Sījī dǎkāi jìjià qì.
麦克:刚才我伸手打车，有好几辆车都是空车，但是
为什么都不停呢?
Màikè: Gāngcái wǒ shēnshǒu dǎchē, yǒu hǎojǐ liàng chē dōu shì kōng chē, dànshì wèishéme dōu
bù tíng ne? Mike: I reached out to take a taxi just now, and there were several empty taxis, but
why didn’t they stop?

司机:噢，现在大家都用叫车软件，那些车应该都已
经接单了，所以，不能给您停。
Sījī: Ō, xiànzài dàjiā dōu yòng jiào chē ruǎnjiàn, nàxiē chē yīnggāi dōu yǐjīng jiē dānle, suǒyǐ,

麦克:怎么看不到京北大厦?

Driver: Jingbei Building is behind this building. After you get off the bus, walk along this alley for
about 200 meters, then turn right and you will see Jingbei Building.

胡同太窄，我的车开不进去。
Hútòng tài zhǎi, wǒ de chē kāi bù jìnqù.
The alley is too narrow and my car can't go in.

司机:二十六块五，您给二十六吧。您用什么付? 微
信还是支付宝?

Driver: Twenty-six and a half, please give me twenty-six. What do you use to pay? WeChat or Alipay?

麦克:现金可以吗? 我不会用手机支付。
Màikè: Xiànjīn kěyǐ ma? Wǒ bù huì yòng shǒujī zhīfù.

司机:可以!不会用手机支付?您有点儿落伍了。
Sījī: Kěyǐ! Bù huì yòng shǒujī zhīfù? Nín yǒudiǎn er luòwǔle.
Driver: Okay! Don’t know how to pay with your mobile phone? You are a bit behind the times.
