到达朝阳门地铁站后，我摘下帽子，感觉开始从寒冷中缓过劲儿来。北京的冬天总是这么冷。我想到了迎接我的将是幸福泉幼儿园的孩子们兴高采烈的小胖脸。我好不容易穿过人群，挤上地铁。差点就上不去了!早晨的地铁总是人满为患，里面很热，而且通常气味不是太好。20分钟后，熟悉的电子报站声响起：“西直门到了。”

When I make it to the subway station at Chaoyangmen I feel relieved as I take off my hat and begin to thaw out from the deep chill that is Beijing during winter. I think of the jubilant and chubby little faces that will greet me when I reach the Xingfu Quan Kindergarten. I fight my way through the masses and get on board the train…barely. The trains are so packed with bodies in the mornings; it's very warm and often times smelly. After twenty minutes I hear the familiar electronic voice, "Xizhimen dao le".
