3. Because visitors to any country are unfamiliar with public bus or subway system, they are likely to travel by taxi when they first arrive. 因为初来乍到,有课不熟悉公共汽车和地铁的线路,他们可能要乘坐出租车。

hail a taxi: 招呼计程车,也可以表达为hail a cab。当你体验过美国的夜生活,从酒吧出来已经很晚了的时候,你的朋友可能会建议你,“Hey, you should hail a cab.”这是你可千万别心疼钱了,人家是让你赶快叫部出租车回旅店呢,养好精神,第二天才能继续快乐啊!
outrageous: 不得了的,令人吃惊的。
Yellow Pages: (电话簿中开在公司、厂商电话的)黄页
