关于subway, subway train 和subway station
在美国，subway 表示“地铁”这一地下交通系统或交通手段，常常用 take the subway 或 go by subway 来表达“乘坐地铁”，但不说 take a subway 或 go by a / the subway。在英国，“地铁”称作 the underground, 谈及 subways，不是表示“地铁”，而是表示“地下通道”。例如： The London Underground 伦敦地铁
subway train 表示“地铁列车”。例如：
I’m on a subway train. I’ll call you later. 我在地铁上呢，我回头给你去电话。
subway station 表示“地铁车站”。例如：
It takes him about five minutes to walk to the subway station from his home. 他从家走到地铁站约用5分钟的时间。
2. Lisa: How long does it take you to get to school?
丽萨：你到学校需要用多少时间？
Jane: About 15 minutes by bike.
简：骑自行车大约15分钟。
It takes + 人 + 时间 + to do … (事情) 是一个十分常用的句型，其中动词 take 表示“花费(时间)”。例如：
It usually takes me five to ten minutes
to get there by bus.
乘坐公交车去那儿我通常要花五到十分
钟的时间。
做某事花费某人多长时间。
It takes somebody some time to do something.
It takes me ten minutes to get to school
by bike.
骑车去上学花费我十分钟时间。
其中“时间”可用long(长久)、a short time(短时)等来表示。另外，“人”和“所做的事情”则可视具体的上下文进行省略。例如：
It doesn’t take long to walk there. 走着去那儿花不了多长时间。
It’ll only take you a short time. 只花你一小会儿时间。
2) “by + 交通工具”属固定介词短语，表 示“乘坐、使用某种交通工具”。
例如：
by bus 乘公交车
by train 坐火车
by bike 骑自行车
请注意，英语中 on foot 表示“步行；走路”，而不是 by foot 或 on feet。
3. every 意为“每一”。如：
every day 每天 every week 每周
我爷爷每天乘公共汽车去图书馆。 My grandpa goes to the library by
bus every day.
20 minutes
2 hours
12 minutes
— How long does it take you to school?— It takes me 10minutes to get to school by bus.
1. 你怎样去学校？我骑车去学校。

2. 她怎样去学校？她乘火车去学校。
