Joe’s journey across town (Путешествие Джо через город)

Joe’s plane landed on time at Heathrow airport. (Самолёт Джо вовремя приземлился в аэропорту Хитроу.)

He had exactly one hour to get out of the airport and across the centre of London to catch his train to Manchester. (У него был ровно час, чтобы выйти из аэропорта, пересечь центр Лондона и успеть на поезд до Манчестера.)

He hurried through Customs and passport control and then raced towards the taxi sign at the exit. (Он поспешил через таможенный и паспортный контроль, а затем бросился к знаку такси у выхода.)

Unfortunately, at that moment, the strap on his rucksack broke and it fell against his back and onto the ground. (К несчастью, в этот момент лямка его рюкзака порвалась, и рюкзак упал ему на спину, а затем на землю.)

Dirty socks, shirts, and underpants spilt all over the airport floor. (Грязные носки, рубашки и нижнее бельё рассыпались по всему полу аэропорта.)

Joe was so embarrassed! He stuffed everything back into his rucksack and, pushing his way through the crowds of people, finally made it to the taxi rank. (Джо было так неловко! Он запихнул всё обратно в рюкзак и, пробираясь сквозь толпу, наконец добрался до стоянки такси.)

He jumped into the nearest taxi, shouting ‘Euston Station, quickly, please!’ (Он запрыгнул в ближайшее такси и крикнул: «На вокзал Юстон, пожалуйста, быстро!»)

The taxi set off at such speed that Joe was thrown forward, hitting his face against the glass partition. (Такси тронулось с такой скоростью, что Джо бросило вперёд, и он ударился лицом о стеклянную перегородку.)

The taxi sped on and finally arrived in the city centre, and inevitably, the middle of a traffic jam! (Такси мчалось дальше и наконец прибыло в центр города — прямо посреди пробки!)

It would be quicker to walk. Joe paid the driver, leapt out of the taxi and ran along the pavement, past all the brightly-lit shop windows. (Пешком было бы быстрее. Джо заплатил водителю, выпрыгнул из такси и побежал по тротуару мимо ярко освещённых витрин.)

At last he could see the station opposite, but it was difficult to get across the road because of all the traffic. (Наконец он увидел напротив вокзал, но из-за транспорта было трудно перейти дорогу.)

He reached the station just as his train was leaving. He jumped over the barrier, raced along the platform and leapt onto the train with seconds to spare. (Он добрался до вокзала как раз в тот момент, когда поезд отправлялся. Он перепрыгнул через турникет, помчался вдоль платформы и вскочил в поезд за несколько секунд до отправления.)

He sighed with relief – he would be home in time for Christmas. (Он с облегчением вздохнул: он успеет домой к Рождеству.)
