Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
        Jean: And I’m Jean.
        Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
        Jean: 学习英式英语非常重要的一部分就是要学习他们日常使用的英语口语，而且这些英语的通俗说法并不是经常能在书本上学到的。那Jo，我们今天要学的英语口语词是什么呢？
        Jo: Today’s new word is ‘cab’ – C.A.B. – cab.
        Jean: Cab. Cab 是什么意思呢？
        Jo: A cab is a taxi. That’s it!
        Jean: 知道了，cab就是出租车的意思。
        Jo: Yes. You could say ‘I took a cab to the airport.’
        Jean: 就是说“我打车到的机场”。
        Jo: yes. A cab is a taxi.

        Jo: I like travelling by cab.
        Jean: Why?
        Jo: Well, cabs take you exactly where you want to go, and you don’t have to wait too long for a cab.
        Jean: But cabs are more expensive.
        Jo: That’s true. But if I have the money, I prefer a cab to the bus or train.
