英語趣味課堂：去格拉斯哥旅游-Travelling in Glasgow

Matt: If I were traveling to Scotland would it be very expensive for me to spend time in Glasgow?

Rachel: I'd say there some of the hotels that are quite expensive, but you can usually find a nice bed-and-breakfast which would cost you maybe thirty pounds, English pounds. Scottish pounds even.

Matt: Right, right, right.

Rachel: A night, and that would have breakfast included.

Matt: Yeah, that sounds good. And what about like transportation?

Rachel: Glasgow's one of the few cities out of London that has an underground and it only has one line, so it's called the clockwork orange cause it just goes around in a big circle. But it's quite cheap to use. And the good think about Glasgow actually is it's walkable. You can walk around the city quite easily without having to take transportation.

Matt: Yeah, that's good. And is that named after the movie?

Rachel: Yeah, I think so.

Matt: OK, alright.

Rachel: I think that was a sort of reference to it. Yeah. And it is orange. The line, the picture of the line is orange, so. And the buses in Glasgow are orange.

Matt: Okay, it's a theme.

Rachel: Yes. I don't know why. Different cities in Britain have different colored buses, like Edinburgh's buses are maroon and London's buses are red.

Matt: Yeah, everyone chooses a color.

Rachel: Yeah.

Matt: Does it match the flag or the region or local area?

Rachel: I don't know why Glasgow's orange and Edinburgh's maroon but that's the way it is.
