对话文本
S: I've been late three times this week.

R: what's up?

S: traffic is tied up in knots. I'm afraid I'm gonna be late again.

R: traffic is alays heavy at this time of day.

S: I left thirty minutes earlier than usual today in order to avoid the rush hour, but I'm still late!

R: maybe you can try a different route.

S: I don't think it can be avoided, to be honest. There seems to be cars everywhere.

R: what about the Badaling Expressway?

S: well, traffic moves at a good clip on that freeway, but it's a long way around.

R: turn on the radio. They usually have frequent updates.

S: hmm, doesn't sound good. There's a terrible traffic jam near Xizhimen.

R: it's always rather congested down there during rush hour.

S: looks like we'll just have to wait it out.

R: unfortunately, I think you're right.

S: If I'm late again, my boss's gonna blow a fuse.

R: you'll just have to leave earlier tomorrow.

这星期我已经迟到三次了.
怎么了?
车堵得一塌糊涂.恐怕我又要迟到了.
这个时候就很堵.
我今天提前30分钟出发,本来想避开高峰,可是眼看又要迟到了.
能不能走别的路线?
说实话,我觉得避不开,到处都是车.
打开收音机吧,经常会有最新的路况.
恩听起来好像情况不妙,西直门附近很堵.
高峰期那儿一直很堵.
看来只好等着了.
哎,看起来只好这样了.
如果我再迟到,老板一定会很生气.
你明天只能早点了.
