Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who is on a high-profile visit in Beijing this week, took a ride on the capital’s notoriously crowded subway on Tuesday and said he found it even more “crowded” than the Tube in London.
伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊本周访问北京备受关注,周二他体验了以拥挤著称的北京地铁。他称北京地铁甚至比伦敦的地铁更加“拥挤”。
“It was not the peak hour, yet the traffic was comparable to the rush hour in London,” he said.
他说:“现在并不是交通高峰时段。但地铁上的乘客人数堪比伦敦高峰时段的乘客人数。”
Johnson and his crew travelled on Beijing’s No 1 line from Xidan to Gongzhufen in the afternoon, a total of five stops, according to Chinese media reports. He was lucky enough to have secured a seat, after being hailed by curious travellers.
据中国媒体报道,约翰逊及其随同人员于周二下午乘坐了北京地铁1号线,从西单站到公主坟站共乘坐了五站。在好奇的乘客们欢呼致敬之下,他很幸运地占到了一个座位。
Yet Johnson admitted that he was impressed by the “orderliness” and “cheap cost” of the subway, where riders are charged a flat fare of 2 yuan.
尽管拥挤,约翰逊还是称他深感北京地铁“秩序井然”、“价格便宜”,乘客们只需支付统一的两元钱票价。
“I’ve long heard that you take public transportation to work, and you get my full respect,” wrote a blogger.
一位网友在博客上说,“久闻伦敦市长总是乘坐公共交通工具上下班,我对他充满敬意。”
A keen cyclist himself, Johnson pointed out in a speech he gave earlier this week in Beijing that Chinese visitors were attracted to London because of multiculturalism, fine universities and “beautiful communist bicycles”.
作为一个自行车爱好者,约翰逊曾在本周日前一次演讲中指出,中国游客被伦敦吸引,正是因为伦敦的文化多元性、知名学府和“漂亮的社区自行车”。
