地道美語聽力播客955：幫別人擦車

杰里：要幫我洗洗車嗎?

Helen: I guess so.

海倫：好。

Jerry: Good. Squirt a little of this cleaning fluid into this bucket.

杰里：好的，很好 擠到桶里點這個去漬油。

Helen: Okay, done.

海倫：好，擠了。

Jerry: Then pour a capful of this into the bucket and mix. After that, dribble three drops of this special liquid into it and stir until you get a nice layer of foam on the surface.

杰里：現在倒一蓋子這個到桶里去，攪拌一下。然后滴三滴這種特殊液體進去，一直攪拌，攪拌到表面出現一層泡沫。

Helen: Okay, but I usually just use soap and water.

海倫：好，但是通常我只用肥皂和水。

Jerry: That might be fine for your car, but for my baby, it’s nothing but the best. Stop!

杰里：對你的車來說可能沒問題，但是我的寶貝車嘛，這才是最好的。住手!

Helen: Why? I was just going to use this hose to spray water onto the car to get it wet.

海倫：怎么了?我只是想用這個水管往車上噴水，把它弄濕。

Jerry: You can’t just splash water on the paint. You have to let it flow gently down from the roof of the car in a cascade.

杰里：你不能直接往車漆上噴水，你必須讓它像瀑布一樣從車頂上緩緩流下。

Helen: You’re kidding, right?

海倫：你在開玩笑對吧?

Jerry: Not at all. Splattering water on the paint could damage it in the long run. Let the water gush out of the hose and onto the roof of the car. Let it caress the car like you’re…

杰里：沒開玩笑，經常往車漆上噴水會損壞它。讓水從管子里緩緩流到車頂上，讓它輕輕地流過車身就像你在......

Helen: You know what? I think this is getting a little weird. I think I’ll leave you and your baby alone.

海倫：你知道嗎，我覺得有點奇怪。我想我還是走吧，你自己擦吧。
