没有人经过的车站

第一条地铁线是一九零四年在城市下面开的。它日夜行驶，一年每天都开，几乎从不关闭。波莉跟着一辆火车，走到街道下面。

The first subway line opened under the city in nineteen oh four. It runs day and night, every day of the year, and almost never closes. Polly followed a train down under the street.

第一个车站建得很漂亮。光从上面人行道的玻璃照进来，天花板是弯的瓷砖，像一座教堂。

The first station was built to look nice, with light from glass in the sidewalk above and a curved tile ceiling like a church.

但是站台弯得很厉害，是为短火车建的。新的火车更长，中间也有门。在那里开门不安全。车站在一九四五年底关闭了。

But the platform bends in a sharp curve, built for short trains. New trains were longer, with doors in the middle too, and opening them there was not safe. The station closed at the end of nineteen forty-five.

没有人把它拆掉。瓷砖和灯还在黑暗里。火车还是经过那里，但没有人下车。波莉又看着一辆火车开过去。

Nobody removed it. The tile and lamps are still there in the dark. Trains still pass through, but nobody gets off. Polly watched one more train go by.
