After years of conditioning, most of us have developed an unshakable faith in railway timetables.
经过多年的适应，我们大多数人对火车时刻表产生了一种不可动摇的信念。
Ships may be delayed by storms; flights may be cancelled because of bad weather; but trains must be on time.
轮船会因风暴而延误，飞机会因恶劣天气而取消，但火车一定是准点的。
Only an exceptionally heavy snowfall might temporarily dislocate railway services.
只有特大的暴风雪才可能暂时打乱铁路运行。
It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong.
因此，一旦铁路上真出了问题，人们便不假思索地责备铁路当局。
The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.
然而，事实是，出了差错，更可能是我们自己的问题，而不是他们的问题。
After consulting my railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven.
我查看了列车时刻表，满意地看到有一趟开往威斯特海温的快车。
It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes.
这趟车从我当地的车站直达威斯特海温，全程仅需 1 小时 17 分钟。
When I boarded the train, I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well.
上车时，我不禁注意到有很多当地人也上了这趟车。
At the time, this did not strike me as odd.
当时，我并没有觉得这有什么奇怪的。
I reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service.
我想，除了我之外，一定还有很多人也想利用这趟优质的列车服务。
Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line.
当火车在几英里外的小站威德利停下时，我也没有感到惊讶。
Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals.
即使是飞快的快车也可能被信号耽搁。
But when the train dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder.
但当火车一站又一站地磨蹭时，我开始感到疑惑了。
It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along at thirty.
我突然意识到，这趟所谓的快车并没有以每小时 90 英里的速度飞驰，而只是以每小时 30 英里的速度缓缓爬行。
One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance.
1 小时 17 分钟过去了，我们甚至还没走完一半的路程。
I asked a passenger if this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not even heard of it.
我问一位乘客这是不是开往威斯特海温的快车，他却说从未听说过这趟车。
I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived.

Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven.
两小时后，我怒气冲冲地跟威斯特海温的站长交涉。
When he denied the train’s existence, I borrowed his copy of the timetable.
当他否认有这趟列车时，我借来了他的时刻表。
There was a note of triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white.
我带着一丝得意的语气告诉他，时刻表上白纸黑字写得清清楚楚。
Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again.
他匆匆看了一眼，让我再仔细看看。
A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page.
一个小小的星号指引我看到了页面底部的脚注。
It said: ‘This service has been suspended.’
