What it really means

London transport is divided into rings called zones. Zone 1 is the centre and Zone 6 is the outer edge (Heathrow is in Zone 6). Your fare depends on which zones you travel through.

Chinese explanation
伦敦交通按环形分区,Zone 1是市中心,Zone 6是外围(希思罗机场在Zone 6)。票价取决于你经过哪些区。

Example conversation

A: How much is the Tube from Heathrow to central London? B: Heathrow is Zone 6 and the centre is Zone 1, so it crosses all the zones. It is cheaper off-peak.
A:从希思罗坐地铁到伦敦市中心多少钱? B:希思罗在6区,市中心在1区,要跨所有分区。非高峰时段更便宜。

What you could say back

“I will check the fare on the TfL website.”
