今天的這段對話,在討論交通工具,
日常出行你喜歡哪種交通工具?為什么不選擇開車出行
來聽今天的講解:
A: how do you usually get to school?
你一般怎么去學校?
B: I usually ride my bike. Which form of transport do you prefer to use?
我一般都騎自行車去.你喜歡哪種交通工具?
A: I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle, but when I feel lazy, I drive my car.
我覺得蹬自行車的時候可以看更多的風景,但是犯懶的時候我就開車.
B: I think we should discourage people from using their private cars. They produce too much pollution!
我覺得我們應該勸人們盡量少開私家車.汽車制造的污染太嚴重了!
A: I agree, but I would find it difficult to stop using my car. It's just so convenient.
我同意,不過我覺得不開車很難做到.開車實在是太方便了.
B: cars might be convenient, but they're so bad for the environment.
開車可能是很方便,但是對環(huán)境的影響太惡劣了.
A: do you have a car?
你有車嗎?
B: no. I used to have one though. Once I started using my bicycle to get around, I found that I didn't really need it.
沒有.不過,以前有過.后來開始騎自行車才發(fā)現(xiàn),其實我并不是特別需要汽車.
A: maybe if I sold my car now, I wouldn't be so tempted to use it.
沒準我現(xiàn)在要是把我的汽車給賣了,也就不會非用它不可了.
B: you could try. It would save you a lot of money.
你可以試試看.那樣還可以幫你省下一大筆錢.
A: that's true. Every month, I spend hunderds of dollars on gas, insurance, and repairs.
沒錯.我每個月都要付上百美元付那些汽油費,保險和修理費.
B: if you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving, you will get lots of exercise, too!
如果你要是加入騎自行車的行列而不是開車,你還能得到很多鍛煉呢!
A: I could stand to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere!
我應該堅持鍛煉減掉幾磅體重.有輛車都讓我變懶了.我現(xiàn)在去哪兒都不走路了.
B: let's go to a car dealership. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.
咱們一起去汽車交易行吧.我會幫你把這輛車賣個好價錢的.
A: sounds good! Let's go!
聽起來真不錯!走吧!
