品評(píng)汽車

It's a great car,but what are the running costs?I mean I'm sure it uses a lot of petrol and would be very expensive to keep.But I found the steering very smooth and easy though,and I thought the car's warning lamps were useful.In fact if I had money I'd probably buy it as I'm not very fond of some of the other new cars I've seen.Another thing that impressed me about this one was...I like the way the heating and ventilation were kept separate_that's a really excellent idea_it's so easy to get mixed up when they're too close together.No,I thought it was absolutely terrific for someone rich enough!

這是一輛很棒的車，但是運(yùn)行費(fèi)用呢?我相信它耗油很大，養(yǎng)起來會(huì)很貴。但是我發(fā)現(xiàn)它的轉(zhuǎn)向裝置很平穩(wěn)、很容易，我覺得車的警示燈很有用。事實(shí)上，如果我有錢，我可能會(huì)買它，因?yàn)槲也皇呛芟矚g我看過的其它車。讓我印象深刻的另一件事就是這輛車是…我喜歡暖氣裝置和通風(fēng)設(shè)備分開的這種方式，這是很棒的一個(gè)主意。如果它們放得太近，很容易混淆。不，我想對(duì)夠富有的人來說，它肯定非常棒!
