Great idea. It's the preferred way for locals to get around.

好主意，紐約人的主要交通工具就是地鐵

But with 468 subway stations at 24 separate lines, you'll need to know a few things first.

紐約地鐵擁有24條不同的路線，總共468個站別，所以你最好事先做點功課了解一下。

How you find this subway?

你怎麼找到這站的？

Easy. You look for the green ball outside. That way.

簡單！找到這個綠色的球狀物就對了。在那邊。

The New York City subway lines are organized by letter, number and color.

紐約地鐵線是由字母、數字以及顏色做區分的。

Know which direction you're going.

你必須明確知道你要往哪個方向

Some stations like Union Square in Time Square have an entrance that leads to all lines.

像是在時代廣場的聯合廣場站，所有路線都可以在這裡轉搭。

But some smaller entrances are one-way.

不過有一些比較小的站就只有一條路線。

Uptown or downtown? Make sure you know you're going in the right direction.

上城或下城？一定要注意自己是否坐對方向的車。

A standard ride on the subway is $2.50 for a single ride MetroCard.

持卡搭乘地鐵，每趟收費為2.5塊美金。

As long as you stay underground, you can ride numerous lines on the same card.

只要你不出站，你可以持卡任意搭乘所有路線。

And even transfer to a bus for no additional fee.

甚至可以免費轉乘巴士。

If you're in New York for a week, it pays to buy the weekly pass.

如果你要在紐約待上一個禮拜，最好是買周遊券。

There's only one way to swipe the card,

就只有一種刷卡的方式

With the black stripe facing toward you and down.

把黑色磁條的部分面向自己去刷機器。

Well, I do believe you should wait for people to come out and you should wait to the side,

我覺得我們本來就應該在旁邊等乘客出來之後再進去

and when they're out, you should get in and you should get people some space.

他們出來之後你再進去，我們並且要留點空間給別人。

You know, if you see somebody elder or if you see somebody handicapped or somebody's pregnant, get out of your seat and let them sit down.

如果看到年長者、殘障人士或是懷孕的人，請把位子讓出來給他們坐。

When the mariachi band walks through, you know the door, it''s kind of like it's gonna be that kind of the morning.

在地鐵看到街頭藝人在表演，門關上的那瞬間，你就知道又是一天的開始了。

You know, there're certain cars you don't want to get into it.

你知道的，總是會有些你不想踏入的車廂。

If you're in the morning, you see you go into an empty subway car, there's a reason it's empty.

在早上看到一輛空蕩蕩的地鐵時，就要知道這一定有鬼。

so go on to the next one.

所以搭下一班吧！

Enjoy the experience that performances at work and lots of people watching can be found below ground.

好好享受地鐵站中總有一群人圍觀的表演吧！

As you can see, a little local advise makes a big difference in New York, even better is having a local to show you around.

如你所見，當地人給的建議果然大不同，如果有紐約人陪你四處逛逛的話就更好了。
