When I went to a fancy event, they had a chauffeur drive us in a limousine. It was my first time being chauffeured, and it felt so luxurious - someone else doing the driving while I just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. It was a nice treat, even if it’s not something I could afford regularly.
当我参加一个花哨的活动时,他们让一名司机用豪华轿车送我们。这是我第一次被司机接送,感觉如此奢华——别人开车,而我只是放松和享受旅程。这是一个不错的款待,即使这不是我能经常负担得起的东西。
