Luxury Meals on a Bus

Hi kids! Do you know what I'm doing today? I'm going to have a special meal. It's a luxury meal. 我今天要去吃豪華大餐！ The meal is from a five-star hotel. But I'm not eating in a restaurant or a hotel. No; I'm going to it on a bus. Yes, that's right… a bus! It's a double-decker bus. 這是一輛雙層巴士。 Also, it is black. So, if you see this big, black bus, you will know it's special. The bus drives around Taipei. It drives by places like Taipei 101 and Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. 它會經過台北101和國父紀念館。 People can have dinner on the bus. Dinner is a bit expensive… $1,800 NT. 在車上吃晚餐的價錢有點貴，一個人要1,800塊台幣。 Or you can have afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is cheaper. It's $1,000 NT. 下午茶比較便宜，一個人一千塊。 Now, you might think it's strange to eat a luxury meal on a bus. Doesn't the food fall off tables during the ride? 在車上用餐，盤子會不會打翻？ No. The food is kept on the tables with racks. These racks keep the glasses, plates, and bowls from sliding off the tables. That's a good thing! 別擔心，餐桌上有固定架可以固定餐具，不怕滑下去。 Well, here is my bus now. I'm going to have my luxury meal now. See you later! ________________________________ Vocabulary 一邊用餐一邊欣賞都市的景觀，真浪漫！ 1) Five-star hotel 五星級飯店。 I love staying at five-star hotels. 我很愛住五星級飯店。 Who doesn't? 誰不愛呢？ But I like any hotel with good food. 不過任何有美味餐點的飯店我都喜歡。 2) Meal 餐。 Most people eat 3 meals a day. 大部分人一天吃三餐。 Not me.
