去上海的火车
上个月我坐火车去上海。
Last month I took the train to Shanghai.
我早上七点到了火车站。
I got to the station at seven in the morning.
车站里人非常多，我等了半个小时才买到票。
The station was packed; I queued half an hour before I got a ticket.
我的座位在窗户旁边，我很高兴。
My seat was by the window, which pleased me.
火车开了以后，我看见了很多山和田。
After the train pulled out I saw a lot of hills and fields.
我旁边坐着一位老人。
An older man was sitting next to me.
他问我：“你是从哪儿来的？”
He asked me, "Where are you from?"
我们说了很长时间的话，他还给了我一个橘子。
We talked for a long time, and he even gave me an orange.
四个小时以后，火车到了上海。
Four hours later the train arrived in Shanghai.
我跟他说了再见，然后走出了车站。
I said goodbye to him and walked out of the station.
上海比我的城市大多了，也热闹多了。
Shanghai is far bigger than my city, and far livelier.
