自考本科00015英语（二）教材中英文对照（7-11课）第7课第7课Text AYour Inner VoiceMy day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up, make some coffee, shower, get dressed and leave for the train station at precisely 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper in peace and quiet. At work I am always being bombarded with questions（质问）from coworkers, suppliers, telephone and then those dreaded meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and make small talk.你内心的声音我的一天又开始了，就像过去15年中的每一天一样，起床，煮咖啡，沐浴，穿衣服，在7点35分准时赶到火车站搭乘火车以便在8点30分之前到达工作地点。

在火车上，我总是选择远离人群的座位以便我能平静地读报纸。

工作中，我要无休止地应对同事、供应商提出的各种问题，电话总是响个不停，还有那些令人恐惧的会议，所以我最不想做的事就是和坐在身边的陌生人闲聊。

I don't know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually full, something I don't recall ever happening in the past. With hesitation I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man that had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn't notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor.那天我搭乘火车时，不知道出于什么原因火车上异常拥挤，这是过去不曾发生过的。

关于去旅行的火车上的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1A Journey on the RailsAs the train whistle blew and the engine roared to life, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation coursing through my veins. The rail journey that lay ahead promised adventure, new experiences, and a chance to escape the monotony of everyday life.I settled into my seat, gazing out the window as the train gradually picked up speed, leaving the familiar sights of my hometown behind. The gentle rocking motion and the rhythmic clacking of the wheels on the tracks lulled me into a state of relaxation, allowing my mind to wander freely.The countryside rolled by like a living tapestry, each scene more captivating than the last. Lush meadows gave way to towering mountains, their peaks adorned with wispy clouds. Rivers glistened in the sunlight, snaking their way through verdant valleys, while quaint villages dotted the landscape like jewels on a verdant canvas.As the train traversed through tunnels, the world outside vanished momentarily, replaced by flickering lights and the echo of the engine's roar. Emerging on the other side, I found myself greeted by entirely new vistas, each one more breathtaking than the one before.The journey was not merely a physical one; it was a journey of the mind and soul as well. I found myself reflecting on life's great questions, pondering the complexities of the world, and marveling at the sheer beauty that surrounded me.In the dining car, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the clatter of silverware created a symphony of culinary delights. I struck up conversations with fellow travelers, exchanging stories and perspectives, each encounter enriching my understanding of the world and its diverse cultures.As night fell, the gentle rocking of the train lulled me into a peaceful slumber, the rhythmic clacking of the wheels serving as a soothing lullaby. I awoke to the soft glow of the morning sun, casting its warm rays upon the ever-changing landscape.Time seemed to slow down on the train, allowing me to savor each moment and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. I lost myself in the pages of a beloved book, the words taking onnew meaning as the scenery outside my window shifted and evolved.At each stop, I disembarked briefly, stretching my legs and exploring the vibrant local communities. I sampled delectable regional cuisines, marveled at architectural wonders, and immersed myself in the rich tapestry of cultures that wove together the fabric of this incredible journey.As the miles rolled by, I found myself becoming increasingly introspective. The train journey was not merely a means of transportation; it was a metaphor for life itself. Just as the rails guided the train towards its destination, so too must we navigate the twists and turns of our own paths, embracing the challenges and cherishing the moments of beauty that punctuate our journeys.In those quiet moments, I realized that the true value of travel lies not in the destinations themselves, but in the journey itself. It is in the act of moving, of exploring, of embracing the unknown that we truly grow and evolve as individuals.As the train pulled into its final stop, I felt a bittersweet sense of both accomplishment and nostalgia. The journey had come to an end, but the memories and lessons learned would forever be etched into my heart and mind.I disembarked with a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around me. The rail journey had not only taken me to new places but had also opened my eyes to the beauty and complexity of life itself.As I stepped out onto the platform, I knew that this was not the end, but rather the beginning of a lifelong journey of exploration, growth, and self-discovery. The rails may have carried me to my destination, but it was the journey itself that had truly transformed me.篇2A Journey by TrainThe heavy rumble of the locomotive's engines vibrated through the floor as the sleek silver train lurched forward, steel wheels grinding against the rails. I gazed out the window, watching the world slowly begin to move past in a blur of colors. This was it - the start of my grand adventure across Europe by train.I had been looking forward to this trip for months, poring over guidebooks and travel blogs, mapping out an epic rail journey that would take me across eight countries in four weeks. As someone who has always loved trains, there was somethingundeniably romantic about the idea of exploring the continent by rail, watching cities and landscapes unspool outside my window like a living panorama.My first stop was Berlin. The German capital had long been on my bucket list, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and famous nightlife. As the train snaked its way across the Dutch lowlands and into Germany, I settled back into my seat, nibbling on snacks from the dining car. Before long, I was craning my neck to catch sight of Berlin's iconic landmarks from the window - the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the East Side Gallery remaining from the Berlin Wall.Over the next few days, I ticked Berlin's major sights off my list one by one, from soaking in the somber atmosphere of the Holocaust Memorial to ducking into quirky cafes and underground clubs in edgy Kreuzberg. But my absolute favorite was exploring the city's neighborhoods by bike, pedaling along the Spree River and through Tiergarten, the surprisingly lush and sprawling park in the heart of the city. I sat in its leafy beer gardens sipping Radlers as Berliners walked their dogs, soaking up that delightfully casual, almost village-like ambiance.All too soon, it was time to move on to my next stop - Poland's historic capital of Krakow. This time I had an overnighttrain booked, with a sleeper cabin to myself. I'll admit, I spent an embarrassing amount of time feeling giddy about the romantic notion of being rocked to sleep by the swaying of the train car. As it turned out, it was every bit as wonderfully nostalgic as I had imagined. Passing through the inky darkness of the Polish countryside, I篇3A Journey by TrainAs the train whistle blew and the powerful engine roared to life, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through my veins. This was it – the start of an adventure that would take me far beyond the familiar confines of my hometown, out into the vast and wondrous expanse of the open world.I had always found a certain romance in the idea of train travel. There was something undeniably alluring about the gentle rocking motion, the rhythmic clacking of the wheels against the rails, and the ever-changing scenery that lazily drifted by outside the window. It was a mode of transportation that harkened back to a simpler time, when the journey itself was just as important as the destination.With my backpack slung over my shoulder and a well-worn paperback tucked into my pocket, I made my way down the narrow aisle, searching for my assigned seat. The car was a vibrant tapestry of faces and voices, each passenger lost in their own private reverie or engaged in hushed conversation with their traveling companions.Finally, I found my spot – a cozy window seat that would serve as my personal vantage point for the miles ahead. As the train lurched forward and gradually picked up speed, I pressed my forehead against the cool glass, eager to drink in every sight and sound that this grand adventure had to offer.The first few hours passed in a blur of suburban sprawl, with rows of neatly manicured lawns and identical houses giving way to the occasional strip mall or industrial park. But soon, the urban landscape began to fade, replaced by the verdant beauty of the countryside.Rolling hills and patchwork fields stretched out as far as the eye could see, occasionally interrupted by a quaint farmhouse or a lazy stream winding its way through the pastoral scene. I watched, transfixed, as cows grazed contentedly in the meadows and birds danced gracefully across the sky, their wings outstretched against the brilliant azure backdrop.As the day wore on, the terrain shifted and changed, each new vista more breathtaking than the last. Towering mountains loomed in the distance, their snow-capped peaks piercing the clouds like jagged teeth against the horizon. Dense forests blanketed the hillsides, their verdant canopies concealing untold secrets and wonders beneath their sheltering boughs.Every so often, the train would rumble through a sleepy little town, its whistle echoing off the buildings as we passed. I caught fleeting glimpses of daily life – children playing in the streets, shopkeepers sweeping their stoops, and locals gathered around the town square, swapping stories and gossip.As the sun began to dip below the treeline, painting the sky in a kaleidoscope of fiery oranges and vivid pinks, I found myself lost in quiet contemplation. There was something profoundly peaceful about this mode of travel, something that allowed one to simply exist in the moment, untethered from the frenetic pace of modern life.In those long, unhurried hours, I felt a sense of connection –to the land, to the people whose lives we momentarily intersected with, and to the fundamental rhythm of life itself. It was as if the train had become a metaphor for the journey we all undertake, with its twists and turns, its unexpected detours, andits ultimate destination that remains tantalizingly just over the horizon.As night fell and the inky blackness enveloped the world outside, I settled back in my seat, lulled into a contented trance by the gentle sway of the carriage. The soft thrum of the engine and the occasional whistle piercing the stillness became my lullaby, and I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the adventures that lay ahead.When I finally awoke, the first pale streaks of dawn were just beginning to creep across the sky. I pressed my face against the window once more, eager to soak in the sights and sounds of a new day unfolding.The countryside had given way to a more rugged, untamed landscape, with jagged cliffs and winding rivers carving their way through the wilderness. I watched, awestruck, as a majestic bald eagle soared overhead, its wings outstretched and its piercing gaze fixed on some unseen prey far below.As the morning light gradually intensified, the train emerged from a long tunnel, and I was greeted by a sight that took my breath away. Stretching out before me, as far as the eye could see, was a vast and shimmering expanse of crystal-clear water, itssurface reflecting the brilliant hues of the sunrise like a million tiny mirrors.I pressed my nose against the glass, trying to catch every last detail of this natural wonder – the way the water lapped gently against the shoreline, the way the sunlight danced and sparkled across its surface, and the way the distant mountains seemed to rise up from the depths like ancient, slumbering giants.In that moment, I felt utterly and profoundly alive, my senses heightened and my spirit soaring with the same unbridled freedom as the eagle I had witnessed earlier. This, I realized, was the true magic of train travel – the ability to fully immerse oneself in the ever-changing tapestry of the world, to become a part of the journey itself rather than simply a passive observer.As the train continued on its winding path, I found myself lost in a swirl of thoughts and emotions, each new sight and experience serving as a catalyst for introspection andself-discovery. I pondered the vast and intricate web of life that surrounded me, the delicate balance of nature that sustained us all, and my own infinitesimal place within that grand tapestry.By the time our final destination loomed into view, I felt profoundly changed – not just in a physical sense, but in the very depths of my soul. This journey by train had been more than justa mode of transportation; it had been a transformative odyssey, a chance to step outside the confines of my everyday existence and catch a fleeting glimpse of the vast and wondrous world that lay beyond my doorstep.As I disembarked and shouldered my backpack once more, I knew that a part of me would forever remain on that train, lost in the rhythm of the rails and the ever-shifting kaleidoscope of landscapes. And though my physical journey had come to an end, the adventures that lay ahead – the people I would meet, the sights I would see, and the life lessons I would learn – were just beginning.。
