“News” (In The) Taxi-Inside
Every (time) arrive one “ge” (of) new city, I all like with (the) taxi drivers there talk. They are one group (of) pretty interesting people. They not only know-clearly every one “tiao” (of) street (of) this “ge” (of) city, furthermore (they) also know-clearly what (have) happened (on) every “tiao” (of) road-surface. The longer time they drive (the) taxi, the more things (they) also know. From there (where) they (are), I (have) heard very many “news” (that) not so-much can (be) seen (on the) TV, (and) newspaper-surface. For example, (there has been) one “tiao” (of) dog running (away from) some “ge” (of) residential-community, (and in) the-end (was) found by (some) people in (the) subway; (there has been) one “ge” (of) person drinking-(with the result of)-getting-drunk (in) some “ge” (of) restaurant, after-that (he or she) entered (the) hospital (and) lived (for) two “ge” (of) weeks (there); (the) tickets (of) some game (in the) stadium (-) (there are) no people buying, (the) people kicking (the) ball “comparing with” (the) people watching (the) ball (are) even more……Though (they) all are some little stories, but (they) make people want to laugh after listening (to them). Sitting (in the) car while listening to these “news” (are) “acceptably” fun.
