常用應(yīng)急場景

范例一：A green car 環(huán)保汽車

M: Lucy, what are your priorities when buying a car?

露西，當(dāng)你買車的時候，你優(yōu)先考慮的時候什么?

W: I guess the first thing is the price, the second is the size, and of course the color will play a role too. But I have to be honest. It is our today’s responsibility to take care about our environment. Therefore, I will also pay attention to the fuel consumption of the car. You know, the rise in gasoline prices is huge. So I would rather to consider a smaller car with smaller engine. For which I can also save some tax. Last of the list, I also consider the safety.

我想我首先考慮的是價格，然后是大小，當(dāng)然，顏色也重要。但是我必須誠實。保護(hù)環(huán)境是現(xiàn)代人的責(zé)任。因此，我也會注意汽車能源的消耗量。你知道的，油價上漲很快。所以我寧愿要考慮買一輛更小的車，有更小馬力的引擎。因為我還可以省下一些稅費。最后，我也會考慮安全性。

M: What about the environmental factors?

那環(huán)保因素呢?

W: Well, I do prefer the lower emission cars as long as it doesn’t cost much. Some environmentally-friendly cars are really expensive.

額，我更喜歡低排放量的汽車，因為它花費少。一些環(huán)保汽車十分貴。

M: Sure they are. Some hi-tech devices are built in to make sure they pollute less. Some of these green cars have not become standard. So the production costs are still high. But anyway, we should make efforts to start with.

它們確實貴。汽車?yán)锩姘惭b了一些高科技的設(shè)備來確保它們減少污染。一些這種類型的環(huán)保汽車不是普通標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。所以生產(chǎn)成本仍然很高。但是無論怎樣，我們應(yīng)該努力地開始。

范例二：Maintain my car 保養(yǎng)汽車

W: I think it is easier to buy a car than to maintain it. What’s worse, I just don’t trust those vehicle maintenance shops. Sometimes, they overcharge or don’t build those parts I have been paying for. Last week, they even tried to persuade me to buy new parts which really need not to be changed. You know, my car is just half a year old and also good brand. I was just wondering about all these.

我認(rèn)為買車容易保養(yǎng)車難。更糟糕的是，我不相信那些汽車維修店。有時，他們收費過高或者要不給我修我一直在給錢的那些零部件。上周，他們甚至試著說服我買根本不需要換的新零部件。你知道的，我的車才買了半年，還是名牌。我對所有這些都很懷疑。

M: There are such shops living on selling parts. I don’t like their service either. All they want is your money. But in the long run, they will be losing costumers. Anyway, car service business is new in China. We all have to control what they are doing. Otherwise, they will not improve.

有這樣一些店以賣零部件為生。我也不喜歡他們的服務(wù)。他們要的是你的錢。但是從長遠(yuǎn)來說，他們會失去客戶。無論如何，汽車服務(wù)業(yè)在中國還是新行業(yè)。我們都必須控制我們的行為。否則，他們不會改進(jìn)的。

W: Is it possible to make a compliant call to some organization what it’s someone gets rip-off.

有人被敲竹杠時，有沒有可能打電話去某個機(jī)構(gòu)投訴?

M: Yes, there is. Those organizations exist. You always can call a lawyer if you need legal help.

是的，有的。存在那些機(jī)構(gòu)。如果你需要法律援助，你可以打電話叫律師
