英语中交通方式的表达
英语中表示交通方式的形式很多，但总的来说，不外乎两种方式，即：用介词
和动词来表示。
一、用介词表示。
1. by + 表示交通工具的名词，泛指
“乘坐某种交通工具”，其中名词前无任何修饰语，且只能用单数。如：
He came by train, but his wife came by bus.
他坐火车来的，但他妻子坐汽车来的。
交通方式的表达
二、用 “take a+交通工具”表交通方式。
如：take a bus, take a train, take a ship,
但“骑自行车”要用ride a bike 来表示。
例如：
Mr. Smith often takes a train to work.
史密斯先生常坐火车去上班。
三、“动词+to+地点名词”或“动词+地点副词”。这种动词主要是walk (步行), ride(骑车), drive(开车), fly(乘飞机), sail (乘船)等。如：
I usually walk to school.
我通常步行上学。

Ways from London to Paris
There are three ways to travel from London to Paris.
A journey by coach is the cheapest and the second most
interesting. However, it usually takes you about ten hours
to get there, and it’s the least comfortable. Going by
plane is the fasted and the second comfortable, but it’s

it’s much faster than by coach. Remember that travelling

train.
