It's very important
that you obey the rules of the road. |
亞當： |
遵守交通規則是很重要的。 |

I am not a total
beginner, Adam. Now, I want to drive to the mall.
There's a big parking lot there. I need to practice
parking. |
莉莎： |
我又不是什麼都不懂的初學者，亞當。現在，我想開車到購物中心去。那裡有一個很大的停車場。我需要練習停車。 |

Stop! This is a
one-way street! You're going the wrong way! |

Carl and his girlfriend, Amy, are driving to a friends
house, but they have gotten lost. |
| 卡爾和女朋友艾咪正開車前往朋友家，但他們迷路了。 |
| Amy: |
|
I don't think taking
that shortcut was a good idea. We should have made
a right turn at that last intersection. |
艾咪︰ |
我不認為走那條捷徑是個好主意。我們早該在上個十字路口右轉的。 |
| Carl: |
|
Let's look at the
map and the directions again. OK, so we got off
the freeway here, and then we went straight through
this intersection. |
卡爾： |
我們再看一次地圖和方向。好，所以我們剛才在這裡下高速公路，然後直走通過這個十字路口。 |
| Amy: |
|
Right, and then we
crossed these railroad tracks, made a U-turn, and
then a quick right turn, and... |
艾咪︰ |
沒錯，然後我們經過這個平交道，迴轉之後立刻右轉，再…… |
| Carl: |
|
Wait a minute. I
think I found our problem. We shouldn't have made
a U-turn after the railroad tracks. We should have
gone straight for a while longer. |
卡爾： |
等一下。我想我發現問題所在了。我們不應該在過平交道之後迴轉。我們應該要再繼續直走一下。 |
| Amy: |
|
I think
you're right. After we start going in the right
direction, we should come to a traffic circle and
then a traffic light. |
艾咪︰ |
我想你是對的。開始往正確的方向行駛之後，我們應該會遇到圓環和紅綠燈。 |
| Carl: |
|
We're definitely
back on the right track. |
卡爾： |
我們絕對是開回正確的路上了。 |
| Amy: |
|
We need to remember
that shortcuts only work if you don't get lost. |
艾咪︰ |
我們要記住，這些捷徑只在你不迷路的時候才有用。 |
