long train time

Inside the box, Sunee saw something uncommon. It was a red silk umbrella. She had never seen anything like it! "Shipping a package overseas used to take a lot of time," said Grandmother "Packages traveled by train and ship. It could take many months to get a package from across the ocean. How long did your package take to arrive?"

在盒子里，苏尼看到了一些不寻常的东西。那是一把红色的绸伞。她从来没有见过这样的东西！“过去寄一个包裹到海外要花很多时间，”祖母说，“包裹要乘火车和轮船。大洋彼岸收到包裹可能需要好几个月的时间。你的包裹花了多长时间到达？”

But if you do not train, your victory may be like a one-time lottery win, which you cannot capitalize on over the long run.

但是如果你不训练，你的胜利可能就像赢得了一次乐透彩，而这种运气并不能供你长久利用。

The train stopped moving for a long time, but we were not informed about what happened.

列车停运了很长一段时间，但是没有人告知我们发生什么事。
