BMW是指人們出門上班時先乘坐公交車到達(dá)最近的地鐵站,出了地鐵以后再走一段才到達(dá)他們的目的地。那么,你是“BMW族”嗎?
In many western cities, the subway is called the "Metro". Many people go to work by taking a bus to the nearest Metro station. After they get off from the Metro, they walk a few blocks before arriving at their final destination, thus the sequence: Bus Metro Walk (BMW). Those who go to work by this BMW are called BMW people.
在很多西方城市,地鐵都叫做Metro。很多人出門上班時都是先乘坐公交車到達(dá)最近的地鐵站,出了地鐵以后再走一段才到達(dá)他們的目的地。這樣的出行方式就叫做BMW(公車、地鐵、步行),以此方式出行的人就叫做“BMW族”。
For example:
When asked how he gets to work everyday, a colleague of mine used to say: “I get here by BMW.”
被問到每天怎么上班時,我一個同事回答說:“我是公交、地鐵然后步行來的。”
