地道美語聽力播客598:修理汽車

Mechanic: Hi, I'm the mechanic. What can I do for you?

梅凱尼克：嗨，我是梅凱尼克，有什么需要幫忙的嗎?

Amy: My car is making a very weird noise. It sounds like this: gulug, gulug, gulug...

艾米：我的車發(fā)出一種怪異的聲音，它發(fā)出的聲音就像：咕嚕，咕嚕，咕嚕......

Mechanic: Hm, that doesn't sound good. Where is it coming from?

梅凱尼克：嗯，這聲音聽起來不對勁，這聲音是從那來的?

Amy: I'm not sure. When I'm in the car, it sounds like it's coming from the engine, but when I get out of the car, it sounds like it's coming from directly under the trunk, maybe the muffler?

艾米：我不確定，當(dāng)我在車上時，它的聲音聽起來像來自發(fā)動機(jī)，但當(dāng)我下車后，它聽起來像直接來自汽車后備箱，可能是消音器?

Mechanic: That's not a noise a muffler would make. Let me take a look. Can you start the car and pop the hood?

梅凱尼克：這不是消音器發(fā)出的聲音。讓我看一下，你可以發(fā)動汽車，打開引擎蓋嗎?

Amy: Sure.

艾米：可以。

Mechanic: Well, I don't hear the sound right now, but your battery needs replacing, you have a coolant leak, your carburetor needs adjusting, and your spark plugs are shot. I need to look under the car.

梅凱尼克：好，我現(xiàn)在聽不見聲音，但你需要更換電池，你的冷卻液泄漏，化油器需要調(diào)整，你的打火塞也壞了，我需要看一看車底。

Amy: Okay, go ahead.

艾米：好的，看吧!

Mechanic: Your brake pads need replacing and your tires need balancing.

梅凱尼克：你的剎車片需要換了，你的輪胎需要調(diào)整。

Amy: But are any of those problems causing that horrible noise?

艾米：但是是這些問題引發(fā)的噪音嗎?

Mechanic: I don't know. I don't hear the noise right now, so it's hard to tell. But that's all work you need to have done on this car anyway for it to run right. It's only a matter of time before your car stops working if you don't take care of those problems.

梅凱尼克：我不知道，我現(xiàn)在聽不到那個聲音了，所以很難判斷。但是對這個車你所需要做的這些無論如何讓都會是它正常運(yùn)行起來的。如果你不處理好這些問題，那么你的車不再運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)只是時間問題。

Amy: I come in with one problem and you find 10 others. I guess you should go ahead. What else can I do?

艾米：我來這是因為一個毛病，結(jié)果你給我找出10個問題，我想你應(yīng)該按你說的去修理，我還可以做什么呢?

Mechanic: Um, buy a bus pass?

梅凱尼克：額，買一張公交卡?
