Vegetables Grown on Taxis

Thanks, Mr. Taxi Driver! Taxis are pretty convenient, right? They take customers to places they want to go. In big cities you can often see lots of taxis. 大城市通常有很多計程車。 Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and it's a big city. It has a lot of people, a lot of tourists, and a lot of taxis. 曼谷是一個大城市，人多，觀光客也多，還有很多計程車。 But since the coronavirus has happened, there are not many tourists going there. That means there are a lot of taxis that don't have any customers. 但是自從疫情開始，觀光客大減，計程車多半沒客人。 There are now car parks full of unused taxis. 停車場停滿用不到的計程車。 So now one taxi company had the bright idea of growing vegetables on top of the taxis! 一家公司想出來好主意，決定在車頂上種菜！ The taxi vegetable garden makes food for taxi drivers with no work. And if there are any vegetables left over, the drivers can sell them at a market! 失業的計程車司機可以自己吃，也可以把菜拿去市場賣！ That's pretty smart! The drivers can now grow some food, make some money, they don't waste space, and it's good for the environment! ________________________________ Vocabulary 汽車車頂變成菜園，至少沒有浪費空間。 1.
