It was 6:45. The train I was traveling on was half an hour late. And there were still two stops before me. I had planned to arrive in London at 7：00 and catch the 7:25 coach（长途汽车）to Paris. Hopelessly, I turned to a kind-looking passenger for a suggestion. "Why not get off at the next stop and take a taxi? It may save you some time." "Great!" I jumped off as the train just stopped and rushed to a taxi. It was almost 7:25 when we stopped at the London Coach Station. (长途汽车站) There were two coaches there. Almost without thinking, I jumped on to the coach that was starting .As I sank into a seat and looked through the window, the other coach over-passed ours at a great speed. Two black words flew over my wide –open eyes: London-Paris.
