课文讲解
On January 10, 1863, the London Underground opened its doors to the public. The people of London built it because the city was so crowded. Now 150 years old, it is the oldest metro system in the world. It has 11 underground lines, plus others above the ground, with 274 stations in total.
1863年1月10日，伦敦地铁正式对外营运。伦敦居民因城市壅塞而建造了地铁。目前以150岁的高龄，伦敦地铁成为全世界历史最悠久的捷运系统。它共有11条地下通车线、外加其他位于地面上的支线，总共有274个地铁站。
Because of its age, there are a few problems with the London Underground. It gets very busy at rush hour, and the lines are often closed for repairs. Luckily, it was improved for the Olympics in 2012. Now many stations have Internet access, and some trains have air conditioners.
