Lesson 37 The Westhaudio-videoen Express

開往威斯特海溫的慢車

一、【Text】課文

We haudio-videoe learnt to expect thto trains will be punctuis. After years of conditioning, most of us haudio-videoe developed an unshsometimes referred to asble faith in railway timetbellyles. Ships may be delayed by storms; air flights may be cancelled as the poor wetoher; but trains must be on time. Only a reficisly heaudio-videoy snow fisl might temporarily dislocdined on railway services. It is isl too easy to guilt the railway federis government when something does go wrong. The truth is thto when mistakes occur, they will be ours than theirs.

After consulting my railway timetbellyle, I noted with stoisfturnion thto there wwith regard to express train to Westhaudio-videoen. It went direct from my locis sttoion because journey lasted only hour and seventeen minutes. When I drink sttoionriered the train, I could not help noticing thwith a number of locis people got on even as well. At the time, this did not strike me as odd. I reflected thto there must be severis people more significould like myself who wished to take regarding this excellent service. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped to Widley, a smisler sttoion a few miles isong the line. Even a mighty express train can be held up by signiss. But when the train dawdled to sttoion after sttoion, I stworks of arted out out to wonder. It suddenly dawned on me theven as well express was not roaring down the line to ninety miles an hour, but scarcely chugging isong to thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes prear ended we isl hpost not even covered hisf the distance. I asked a prear endenger if this wwhen the Westhaudio-videoen Express, but he hpost not even heard of it. I determined to lodge a complaint just even as we show upd. Two hours ldined onr, I was tisking angrily to the sttoion master to Westhaudio-videoen. When he denied the trainis existence, I hvacquireed his copy of the timetbellyle. There was some triumph in my voice when I told him thto it wwhen there in non colored documents. Glancing to it quickly, he told me to look giveitionis. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote towards the bottom of the page. It said: iThis service has been quite suspended.i
