S：Wow, is that your sports car?

哇,這是你的跑車(chē)嗎?

O：Yes, do you like it?

是的,你覺(jué)得怎么樣?

S：I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?

我喜歡它!我以前一直想要一輛綠色的捷豹.這車(chē)的車(chē)況怎么樣?

O：Yt looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again.

從外面看起來(lái)很不錯(cuò),不過(guò)一面就大不一樣了.再上路的話可能需要好好保養(yǎng)一下。

S：What's wrong with it?

有什么毛病?

O：Well, first of all, it needs a new engine, which is extremely expensive.

嗯,首先,需要換一個(gè)新引擎,那個(gè)可能會(huì)很貴。

S：When's the last time you had it serviced?

你上一次保養(yǎng)是什么時(shí)候?

O：It must have been a few years ago now.

大概是好幾年前了。

S：I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis.

我覺(jué)得每輛車(chē)最好每年都做一些定期的保養(yǎng)。

O：They do. Once my son was born, there was no reason to drive this car anymore. It's only a two-seater, you know!

沒(méi)錯(cuò).自從我兒子一出生就沒(méi)有理由再開(kāi)這輛車(chē)了,要知道,畢竟它是兩人座的!

S：What else is wrong with it?

還有什么其它毛病嗎?

O：The heating controls don't work anymore, so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car—even in the summer!

空調(diào)壞了,所以車(chē)?yán)飶母杏X(jué)像是有100度,尤其是在夏天!

還有嗎?

O：The brakes don't really work that well anymore either.

剎車(chē)也不太靈了。

S：Why don't you get it all fixed?

你為什么不大修一次?

O：It costs more than you think to run a car---especially when there are so many things wrong with it!

養(yǎng)一輛車(chē)比你想象的要費(fèi)錢(qián)得多,特別是有很多零件都不好用的時(shí)候。

S：Well, let me know when you can get it fixed. I’d love to go for a ride in it!

你修好之后告訴我一聲,我非常喜歡坐車(chē)兜風(fēng)的感覺(jué)。
