每天上班都需乘坐单位的通勤车，路途时间共计四十分钟，乘车者180余人，分乘六辆“厦门大金龙”，浩浩荡荡向单位驶发，根据烟雨几年来的观察，乘车者大致可分为六种类型。
一是闭目养神型。即利用这半个多小时时间养精神，这种人上车后找个后面的座位，一会便进入梦乡，有的会不自觉地打起呼噜，遇到急刹车时醒过来，悄悄地抹掉嘴角流出的口水，环顾左右，不好意思的笑笑，但从不打扰别人。
二是沉默寡言型。这种类型的人上车后，或不声不响地看着车上的电视节目，或头一直偏向车窗外，看着路边的风景想着自己的心思，基本上不和同座的人说话。
三是与时俱进型。这种类型的人多为男性，这种人有永远也学不完的知识，很关心国家大事，手拿书本或报纸，或嘴里念念有词，或时不时的发表评论，从上车看到下车，但属于少数。
四是感觉良好型。这种人是最受人厌恶的，且多数为女性。在她们身上根本看不出一点女性的温良和谦和，粗声大嗓的接听电话，旁若无人可着嗓门地哈哈大笑，大到宣扬家里用多少多少银子买了几套房子，又用多少多少银子买了一辆小汽车，小到家里哪天吃了一只鸭子，哪天逛街买了一条裙子，如此等等，感觉十分轻浮和张狂。
五是打探情报型。这种类型的人也多为女性。她们极会利用“感情沟通术”，可在五分钟内和对方打得火热，目的是为了打听对方的一切公开或隐私的情况。从工作内容到家庭纠纷，甚至细微到手提包内的物品，然后再迅速地把这些内容向外传播，并加以自己的“理解和诠释”，使得看上去很简单的事情变得越发复杂和具体，十分低俗和乏味。
六是喋喋不休型。多为精神上受到过一些创伤的女性，诸如离异再婚的，家庭关系多元化的，婚后两地分居的，爱人去世的，夫妻感情不合的。乘车者凡看到这种人上车均避之不及，原因是她们逮到一个可倾述的对象后，便滔滔不绝的开始讲叙她的“故事”，不管你是否愿意听和接受，一股脑强加式的兜售给你，四十分钟的路程结束后，说者意犹未尽，听者却心神疲惫。
车窗外是美丽的风景，车厢内是生活的万花筒，各种各样的面孔都在一个特定的状态下得到了展示，有高雅文静的，有睿智善学的，有漠然处之的，也有俗不可耐的。按说在政府机关里工作的人都有一定的学历，应该具备一定的思想文化素质，可林子大了依然什么鸟都有，也许性格各异吧，也许处境不同吧，只好来个理解加宽容，总之每天乘车单程时间仅有四十分钟左右，但引发的感慨颇多，“受益菲浅”呢！
译文:
Different expressions that commuters have in bus
Everyday,we commuters spend 40mins in total by scheduled bus to work.There are more than 180 commuters distributed in six buses with the name"AMoy XMQ",which majestically drive to work.We can roughly divide them into six types after these years' observation.
The first types are those who close their eyes for rest and make good use of more than half hour to rest for mental composure.They always sit in the rear after getting on,and go to their dream for a moment.Among them,someone may unconsciously snore,wake up due to hard braking,stealthily efface drool ,look around and fell embarassed to smile ,but never disturb others.
The second are those who always keep silent.After getting on,they may either keep quiet to watch TV programme or look out of the window to think what is haunting them ,and they seldom talk with others nearby.
The third are those who advance with the times ,especially referring to men.They believe there is no limits to knowledge and they care more about national affairs.They always hold books or newspaper in their hand with lips moving slightly or make comments when reading .However,few of them spend the whole journey on it .
The fourth are those who feel good about themslves,and the majority of the offensive ones are female,but we can never feel any feminization from them. In the public,they always answer phones loudly,even laugh out loudly as if there were no one there.They talk about all kinds of things,including how much money they have spent in houses and how many houses does they have,how much does their car cost,when did they eat duck or buy a skirt,and so on.Anyhow,they have left a flighty and insolent impression on us.
The fifth,most are female,who always plough around.They always take full advantage of communication to get familiar with others within five minutes , with the purpose of knowing everything about the partner from work to family dispute,even contents in their handbag.Then they will rapidly turn to other matters and give their own understanding and definition of them,which make the originally simple things more complicated and more specific.It is too vulgar and boring.
The sixth ones always talk endlessly,most of whom are female traumatized by things such as divorce and remarriage,muti-family-relationship,separation after marriage,spouse's death,or unhappy marriage.Commuters always walk away when coming across them for they always embark on their stories without stop after meeting one.No matter whether you are willing to ,they just do it and share their sorrows with you during the 40minutes' journey.They always feel it is so fast to finish the journey ,but the listeners yet have wearied of their constant talking.
The view out of the window is delightful,yet life in carriage is kaleidoscope . All types of expressions in carriage are performed under certain situations.Some are elegant,some wise and bookish,some show a indifferent attitude,while others snobbish.Those working in the government offices should have been well-educated of quality,yet it is not the full story.There are all kinds of people in the world.We may attribute these to different temprament and complex life.In a word,it will arouse plenty of thoughts after everyday single-trip .
