杰夫的一天 第51期：開車上班講解(2)

We call the seats the passenger seats and the driver's seat. 我們把那些座位叫做乘客座位和駕駛員座位。

The right side of the car is usually called the passenger side of the car. 車的右側通常稱為乘客側。

I "get comfortable for my drive" — for my commute — notice we use drive there as a noun; it can be a verb and a noun. 我“舒服地坐在座位上準備開車”——注意到“drive”這詞在這里作名詞。它既能作動詞，又能作名詞。

"I put my coffee mug into the cup holder." “我把咖啡杯放在杯托上。”

A mug, "mug," is just a big cup. 馬克杯(mug)是大杯子。

We talk about coffee mugs, they're big cups that you put your coffee into. 我們所說的咖啡馬克杯，就是指裝咖啡的大杯子。

In many cars, there is a special place for a cup or a bottle, and that's called a cup holder, "holder." 很多汽車里都有專門放杯子或瓶子的地方，那樣的地方叫做杯托(holder)。

It holds the cup so you can have your coffee in your car. 它承托杯子，這樣你就能在汽車里放咖啡。

I "put the keys in the ignition." 我“將鑰匙插入點火開關里。”

The keys are, of course, what starts your car. 這鑰匙當然是你用來發(fā)動汽車的。

It's the piece of metal that you open your car door with — you unlock it. 它也是你打開車門的一塊金屬。

Well, you also start the car with your keys, and you put them into something called the ignition. 是的，你還用鑰匙發(fā)動汽車，你把它插入點火開關里。

And, the ignition, "ignition," is the part of the car that starts the engine. 點火開關(ignition)是汽車發(fā)動引擎的部位。
