今天早上过来的时候，的士司机是交通台的路况信息员，车上装了一台CB Radio，他随时都会向电台报告我们所在的位置的交通情况。
Apparently, they’re not allowed to use English when they talk on the radio, even though some of them like to say “over” instead of “报告完毕”.
I’ve always been fascinated by the possibility of Beijing’s taxi drivers learning English. They have the perfect environment: they’re stuck in the car with a tape player, and every week or so they’ll have a foreign passenger.
I’ve actually met a couple of drivers who spoke quite well.
