Transpò ak ki jan pou deplase
Bis, tren, taksi ak avyon : vokabilè a ak règ by / on / in, ki detèmine fòmilasyon an.
Pou deplase nan peyi a an angle, ou bezwen yon ti seri non ak yon règ prepozisyon ki vo la pèn fikse pou tout tan.
by, on oswa in ?
by + mwayen transpò, san atik, pale de mwayen an an jeneral :
I go to work by bus / by train / by car / by bike / by plane.
Eksepsyon : on foot (e pa by foot). A pye an kreyòl koresponn ak on foot.
on / in + yon mwayen transpò presi :
I'm on the bus. · She's on the train. (nou ka mache ladan l)
He's in the car. · We're in a taxi. (nou chita andedan)
Règ apeprè : gwo transpò piblik pran on, ti transpò prive pran in.
Kreyòl la sèvi ak nan pou tout bagay (Mwen nan bis la, Li nan machin nan), e se de la erè in the bus, in the train soti : an angle, bis ak tren pran on.
Monte ak desann
Prepozisyon an rete menm :
get on / get off the bus, the train, the plane
get in / get out of the car, the taxi
Catch, miss ak take
Twa vèb fè pi gwo travay la, e yo pa ka ranplase youn ak lòt :
- catch — rive alè : I need to catch the 8:15.
- miss — rate l : I missed the last bus.
- take — sèvi ak li kòm mwayen : We took a taxi. (tankou pran yon taksi)
- board — mo fòmèl anonsman yo : Flight BA219 is now boarding.
Vokabilè
Tren : platform (kè a), ticket, single, return, timetable, change (at), delay, carriage, season ticket Wout : bus stop, coach (gwo otobis pou long wout), traffic, rush hour, petrol (ameriken : gas), motorway, fare Avyon : gate, boarding pass, check-in, luggage, hand luggage, departures, arrivals, delayed, cancelled
Pri tikè a : pri a se fare (e ticket se sa nou gen nan men). Nan transpò vil la, kat la top up (rechaje), e nan tounikè a, nou fè tap in ak tap out.
Achte yon tikè
- A single to York, please. (yon sèl vwayaj, ale)
- A return, please. (ale-retou)
- What time's the next train?
- Which platform is it?
- Do I have to change? — Yes, change at Reading.
Konprann anonsman yo
Anonsman yo sèvi ak yon lang fiks e byen fòmèl, trè diferan de konvèsasyon ki anwo yo. Kat liy sa yo kouvri esansyèl la :
| Ou pral tande | Sans |
|---|---|
| The train now standing at platform 4… | tren ki la kounye a |
| …is due to depart at 14:30. | depa prevwa dapre orè a |
| We apologise for the delay to this service. | tren an an reta |
| A replacement bus service is in operation. | pa gen tren, gen yon bis k ap sikile |
Komen tou : terminates at (pa ale pi lwen), calling at (kanpe nan), alight (desann).
Taksi
- Could you take me to this address?
- How much will it cost?
- Can you drop me here?
- Keep the change.
Pwoblèm
- The train is delayed by twenty minutes.
- The flight has been cancelled.
- I've missed my connection.
- Is there a later one?
Epi fraz pou mande èd lè yon bagay pa bon :
- Excuse me, is this the right platform for Leeds?
- Sorry, I think I'm on the wrong train.
- What should I do — my connection's been cancelled.
Di destinasyon an, pa sa ou vle. A single to York, please mache nan nenpòt gichè nan peyi a. Se tantativ pou konstwi yon fraz konplè anba presyon ki fè achte yon tikè sanble pi difisil pase sa l ye.
Yon bagay pa mache nan gar la
A: Excuse me — is the 8:15 to Leeds still running?
B: It's been cancelled, I'm afraid. There's a replacement bus from stand C.
A: Do I have to change?
B: Yes, change at Doncaster. Your ticket's still valid.
Anilasyon an, ranplasman an, koneksyon an ak validite tikè a se kat bagay ou bezwen konprann vre.
