aWhere's Bill? The ambassador is already here. The meeting is set to start at 9 am.
比尔在哪儿？大使已经到了。会议定在上午9点开始。
bHe's late again. Traffic is probably holding him up. You know, he commutes from the suburbs. It's not easy commuting every day. We should cut him some slack.
aEven though the trafic is bumper-to-bumper out there, I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late. He takes the train, remember?
即使那儿路上的汽车一辆接着一辆，我认为他也不会因为交通繁忙而迟到。他乘火车上班，你忘了吗？
bOh, that's right. Well, the train shouldn't be late. That means there is only one explanation.... Bill must have overslept.
噢，是这样。火车可不会晚点。那就说明只有一种解释，比尔一定睡过头了。
aWell, to be fare, since he's coming all the way from Lancaster, he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us. He must get start on his commute about six thirty, no telling what time he actually gets up.
bThat's right, because he's got to get to the train station from his house, then take the blue line into the city, then switch trains to the red line. In all, the trip's got to take more than 2 hours.
