購買車票

在國外旅遊搭乘大眾運輸工具,學會各類票種的英文,不用擔心買錯票!

一般車票都會以距離和旅遊時間來區分,以下是常見的幾種票種:

1. 單程票(Single Ticket )如果只到某地,之後不會再搭車,買單程票就是最划算的選擇。

2. 來回票(Return Ticket)如果回程確定了,建議在買票時就買來回票,通常比兩張單程票便宜,亦可省下再次買票的麻煩。

3. 區間票如果只在某個區域活動,可買此票種,如搭乘倫敦地鐵遊覽倫敦,就可買Zone 1與Zone 2兩區的週票,可在使用期限內於該區內任何站隨意進出。巴黎的地鐵也有此票種。

4. 一日票(One-Day Pass ; Daily Pass ; One-Day Travel Card)如果想在某地到處觀光,一天內會不斷出入地鐵站,此票種方便又划算。

5. 週票及月票(Weekly Pass & Monthly Ticket)若待在某地時間較長,可根據停留時間購買週票或月票,有的會要求附一張照片以貼在車票上。

The Mind Behind So Many Great Buildings 眾多偉大建築背後的推手

His buildings can be seen in cities around the world—from Taichung, Taiwan, to Washington DC in the United States. His iconic designs include the great glass pyramid outside the Louvre Museum in Paris, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. Ieoh Ming Pei (I. M. Pei), who died in 2019 aged 102, is well deserving of the title "The Master of Modern Architecture."

Born in 1917 in China, Pei moved to the United States to study when he was just 17 years old. In 1946, he achieved a master's degree in architecture from Harvard University, and in 1948, he accepted a top position at Webb & Knapp, a property development company. There, he produced his first successful project—an office building for Gulf Oil in Atlanta, Georgia. After several successful years at the company, however, Pei wanted more creative freedom. So in 1955, he set out on his own and established his own company, I. M. Pei & Associates.

Over the next several decades, using a combination of simple shapes and materials such as glass, concrete, and steel, Pei designed some of the world's most unique buildings. His amazing work won him award after award. And although he officially retired in 1990, Pei, ever dedicated to his work, continued to design until his last days.


世界各地的都市均可看見他設計的建築─從台灣台中到美國的華盛頓特區。他的代表作包括巴黎羅浮宮外的玻璃金字塔、俄亥俄州克里夫蘭的搖滾音樂名人堂,以及杜哈的伊斯蘭藝術博物館。逝於2019 年、享嵩壽102 歲的貝聿銘,擁 有「現代建築大師」的頭銜,而且絕對實至名歸。

生於1917年的中國,貝聿銘17歲即遷居至美國讀書。1946 年,他取得哈佛大學的建築碩士學位。1948 年,他接受「齊氏威納」房地產開發公司最高職位的聘僱。他在該公司產出第一項成功的企畫案─也就是喬治亞州亞特蘭大的海灣石油辦公大廈。不過,在該公司締造成功佳績幾年後,貝聿銘希望擁有更多創作自由。因此,他於 1955年單飛創業自己的公司「貝聿銘聯合建築事務所」。

接下來超過數十載的時間,貝聿銘結合簡單形狀與玻璃、水泥和鋼鐵等材質,設計出世上某些最為獨特的建築。他令人驚豔的作品使他獲獎連連。雖然貝聿銘於1990年正式退休,一直到去世以前,仍繼續全心投入設計工作。
