Matt: I guess I’m going to have to find a new place to park when I take the train at Taipei Main Station every morning.
邁特：看來我得找個新地方停車了，每天早上搭火車去台北車站有點麻煩了。
Erin: Why’s that? Can’t you park near the station anymore?
艾琳：為什麼？你不能再停在車站附近了嗎？
not…anymore不再
Matt: I can still park there for now, but starting on March 3, they’ll charge fees for 400 parking spots around the station.
邁特：現在還可以停，不過從3月3號開始，車站周圍400個停車格都要收費了。

Erin: Oh! That’s a lot of spots.
艾琳：哇！那可是很多停車格耶。
Matt: Yep. And people who park their motorbikes there will need to start paying by the hour.
邁特：對啊，而且停車的人得按小時計費。
by the hour以小時計費
Erin: That sounds expensive. Can’t you just park near a different station?
艾琳：那聽起來很貴。你不能改停在別的車站附近嗎？
expensive(adj.)昂貴的
Matt: That’s a good idea. I’ll try to find a different station to catch the train before the new parking fees start. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of that. You’re so smart!
邁特：那主意不錯耶。在新收費開始前，我會去找找看有沒有其他車站可以搭火車。我怎麼沒想到呢？你真聰明！

Erin: Thanks, Matt. I’m glad I could help!
艾琳：謝啦，邁特！很高興能幫上忙！
