Transportation

中文易错小空间用 get in（轿车、网约车），大空间用 get on（地铁、公交、高铁、飞机）。中文都是“上车”，所以这里必错。

搭配get in the car · get in a taxi

易混get on · get off

中文易错中文“坐地铁”会让人漏掉上下车：get on the subway 是上车，take the subway 是乘坐。

中文易错提醒别人不是 be careful 才地道；watch out 更短更常用，后面接 for 再加对象。

中文易错着陆是 touch down（两个词）；land 也对，但 touchdown 是名词。

易混land · take off

中文易错停靠是 pull up；pull over 是靠边停，两者位置感不同。

易混pile in · get off

中文易错车流慢行是 crawl along，不是 move slowly（太泛）。
