比较常见的:
1,stand in line / wait in line
I stood in line for two hours before I finally got the ticket.(我们排了两个小时才拿到票)
The cafeteria is short handed so we'll have to wait in line.(咖啡馆人手不够,所以我们不得不排队等待)
2,在比较混乱的情况下,维持秩序的人常用“line up”
比如大家在争着去抢购东西时,销售员会说“Please line up.Don't push.”公交车售票员也常会说这样的.
3,queue也有排队的意思
People are queuing to buy tickets.
We queued up for the bus.
