Heathrow Express
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
The fastest train from Heathrow to central London (Paddington, about 15 minutes) but also one of the most expensive per mile in the world. The Elizabeth line and the Piccadilly line are much cheaper alternatives.
Chinese explanation
希思罗快线，从希思罗到伦敦市中心帕丁顿最快的火车（约15分钟），但按里程算也是全球最贵的火车之一。伊丽莎白线和皮卡迪利线便宜得多。
Example conversation
A: The Heathrow Express is twenty-five pounds?!
B: That is why students take the Elizabeth line. Half the price, fifteen minutes longer.
A：希思罗快线要25英镑？！
B：所以学生都坐伊丽莎白线，价格一半，只多花十五分钟。
