レッスン
Subway
The subway is one of the most common types of
transportation. I take the subway every day. The train
sometimes being crowded, we have to stand all the
way home. Generally speaking, most people in our
country are used to standing on the train especially
during rush hours. Considering many workers get out
from the office around 5:00PM to 7:00PM, the trains
are expected to be busy at this time. Work being
over, workers rush home. One evening, I went home late. Thankfully the subway wasn’t that jam-packed.
The train being empty, I could sit down. I listened to
music with my eyes closed.
地下鉄は最も一般的な交通機関の 1 つです。 私は毎日地下鉄に乗ります。 電車は時々混んでいるので、家までずっと立っていなければなりません。 一般的に言えば、我が国のほとんどの人は、特にラッシュアワーの電車内で立っていることに慣れています。 多くの労働者が退職することを考えると オフィス発は午後 5 時から午後 7 時頃ですが、この時間帯は電車が混雑することが予想されます。 仕事が終わり、労働者たちは急いで帰宅します。 ある晩、私は遅く帰宅しました。 幸いなことに地下鉄はそれほど混んでいませんでした。 電車は空いていたので座ることができた。 私は目を閉じて音楽を聴きました。
Thankfully= synonyms mercifully happily luckily ありがたいことに
jam-packed= ぎゅうぎゅう詰めの、(…で)ぎゅうぎゅう詰め込んで、すし詰めで
