今天的這段對話,在討論跑車,
這款跑車的車況怎么樣?出現(xiàn)了哪些毛病
來聽今天的講解:
A: wow, it that your sports car?
哇,這是你的跑車嗎?
B: yes, do you like it?
是的,你覺得怎么樣?
A: I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?
我喜歡它!我以前一直想要一輛綠色的捷豹.這車的車況怎么樣?
B: it looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing
before it can go out on the roads again.
從外面看起來很不錯,不過一面就大不一樣了.再上路的話可能需要好好保養(yǎng)一下.
A: what's wrong with it?
有什么毛病?
B: well, first of all, it needs a new engine, which is extremely expensive.
嗯,首先,需要換一個新引擎,那個可能會很貴.
A: when's the last time you had it serviced?
你上一次保養(yǎng)是什么時候?
B: it must have been a few years ago now.
大概是好幾年前了.
A: I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis.
我覺得每輛車最好每年都做一些定期的基礎保養(yǎng).
B: they do. Once my son was born, there was no reason to drive this car anymore. It's only a
two-seater, you know!
沒錯.只要我兒子一出生就沒有理由再開這輛車了,要知道,畢竟它是兩人座的!
A: what else is wrong with it?
還有什么其它毛病嗎?
B: the heating controls don't work anymore, so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the
car—even in the summer!
空調壞了,所以車里從感覺像是有100度,尤其是在夏天!
A: anything else?
還有嗎?
B: the brakes don't really work that well anymore either.
剎車也不太靈了.
A: why don't you get it all fixed?
你為什么不大修一次?
B: it costs more than you think to run a car---especially when there are so many things wrong
with it!
養(yǎng)一輛車比你想象的要費錢得多,特別是有很多零件都不好用的時候.
A: well, let me know when you can get it fixed. I’d love to go for a ride in it!
你修好之后告訴我一聲,我非常喜歡坐車旅行的感覺.
