Half an hour passed, though it seemed more like half a day. Our hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the railwayman forgotten all about our existence? Had there been a crash on the line in front? We had no means of knowing. The passengers had already opened all the windows, and the doors between the coaches as well, and in an attempt to freshen the stuffy air. A man with a Birmingham accent told his neighbour that he had not been with his present employer for long, and was very afraid they were going to give him the sack. An old woman with a lisp told us that she was taking her daughter a present but her daughter always left home at ten. Had the train broken down? Several people thought so, but they were wrong. It wasn't the train that had broken down, but the power supply. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn't really matter what it is that has broken down.半个小时就像半天一样的漫长。期待准时上班这个愿望也已经破灭。难道铁路工作人员忘记了我们的存在了吗？地铁前端是否有过碰撞？这些我们都不知道。为了呼吸新鲜的空气，乘客把窗户以及每次到站时要开的门也全部打开了。一个带着伯明翰口音的乘客说他刚刚去那个公司工作，他怕老板会因为迟到解雇他。一个口齿不清的老人说她给女儿带了一个礼物但是她的女儿经常十点就出门了。很多人都认为地铁坏了，但是他们错了。地铁没坏，是供电系统坏了。但是，对于困在地铁中焦急的人来说，他们并不在意是哪方面坏了。
