wǒ我de的gōng公sī司lí离wǒ我jiā家hěn很yuǎn远。
My office is a long way from my home.
měi每gè个zǎo早shàng上wǒ我zuò坐gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车qù去shàng上bān班。
Every morning I take the bus to work.
cóng从wǒ我jiā家dào到gōng公sī司yào要sì四shí十fēn分zhōng钟。
It takes forty minutes to get from home to the office.
zǎo早shàng上de的gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车shàng上rén人fēi非cháng常duō多。
The morning bus is absolutely packed.
yǒu有shí时hòu候rén人tài太duō多，wǒ我jiù就méi没yǒu有yǐ椅zi子zuò坐。
Sometimes it's so crowded that I don't get a seat.
wǒ我xǐ喜huan欢zài在gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车shàng上kàn看shǒu手jī机，yě也kàn看bào报zhǐ纸。
I like looking at my phone on the bus, and reading the newspaper too.
shàng上gè个xīng星qī期xià下yǔ雨le了，gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车zǒu走dé得fēi非cháng常màn慢。
Last week it rained and the bus crawled along.
wǒ我dào到gōng公sī司de的shí时hou候yǐ已jīng经jiǔ九diǎn点le了。
By the time I reached the office it was already nine.
dà大jiā家dōu都zài在máng忙，wǒ我jué觉de得fēi非cháng常duì对bu不qǐ起。
Everyone was busy, and I felt terrible about it.
xià下wǔ午wǔ五diǎn点wǒ我zuò坐gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车huí回jiā家。
At five in the afternoon I take the bus home.
wǎn晚shàng上de的gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车shàng上rén人shǎo少hěn很duō多。
The evening bus is much emptier.
wǒ我kě可yǐ以zuò坐zhe着xiū休xi息yī一xià下。
I can sit down and take a breather.
suī虽rán然gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车méi没yǒu有chū出zū租chē车kuài快，dàn但shì是fēi非cháng常pián便yi宜。
The bus isn't as fast as a taxi, but it's really cheap.
wǒ我de的péng朋you友xǐ喜huan欢zuò坐chū出zū租chē车，wǒ我xǐ喜huan欢zuò坐gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车。
My friend prefers taxis; I prefer the bus.
yǒu有yī一cì次wǒ我zài在gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车shàng上kàn看jiàn见wǒ我de的lǎo老shī师。
Once I ran into my teacher on the bus.
wǒ我men们yì一qǐ起shuō说huà话，fēi非cháng常gāo高xìng兴。
We chatted away — it was lovely.
wǒ我jué觉de得zuò坐gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车shàng上bān班hěn很hǎo好。
I think taking the bus to work is great.
