Abbie and her husband Ted have just left a supermarket.
They are trying to find their car in the parking
lot. |
| 艾碧和丈夫泰德剛剛從超級市場出來，他們在停車場找他們的車。 |
| Abbie: |
|
I forgot where you
parked the car. Do you see it? |
艾碧： |
我忘記你把車停在哪裡了，你有看到嗎？ |
| Ted: |
|
I don't remember,
either. Is it over there next to that big white
van? |
泰德： |
我也不記得了，是不是停在白色大廂型車旁邊的那一輛？ |
| Abbie: |
|
No, that's not our
car. How about over by that limo, or by that silver
SUV? |
艾碧： |
不，那不是我們的車，停在加長型禮車旁邊的那一輛是不是？還是銀色越野休旅車旁邊的那一輛？ |
| Ted: |
|
Nope,
neither of those is our car. Boy, I wish we could
remember where I parked. The ice cream is beginning
to melt. |
泰德： |
不，那兩輛都不是我們的車。唉，要是我們記得車停在哪裡就好了。冰淇淋開始融化了。 |
| Abbie: |
|
OK,
let me think for a minute. I remember seeing a big
green four-by-four when I got out of the car. |
艾碧： |
好吧，讓我想一下。我記得下車時有看到一輛綠色大台的四輪傳動車。 |
| Ted: |
|
Yeah, and I remember
seeing a red convertible sports car when I got out
of the car. |
泰德： |
對喔，而我記得我下車時，有看到一輛紅色的敞篷跑車。 |
| Abbie: |
|
Um,
Ted, look behind you. I just realized that our car
is behind us. We've been standing in front of it
all along. |
艾碧： |
嗯，泰德，看看你後面，我剛剛才發現我們的車在我們後面，我們一直都站在車前面。 |

| Ed
is helping his friend Andrea pick out a new car. |
| 艾德正在幫朋友安德列雅選新車。 |
| Andrea: |
|
Thanks for coming
with me, Ed. I really appreciate your help. |
安德列雅： |
艾德，謝謝你跟我一起來，我真是感激不盡。 |
| Ed: |
|
I'm always happy
to help. Now, you said that you wanted to look at
two-door sedans, right? |
艾德： |
我很高興幫得上忙。嗯，妳說妳想要看雙門房車，對吧？ |
| Andrea: |
|
That's right. A small
four-door sedan would be OK, but I definitely want
something small and easy to park. |
安德列雅： |
對呀。小型的四門房車也可以，不過我一定要方便停車的小型車。 |
| Ed: |
|
And don't forget
that smaller cars get much better gas mileage. |
艾德： |
還有啊，小車比較省油。 |
| Andrea: |
|
I don't
think I could ever afford to have an SUV. Most of
them get terrible gas mileage, and they are expensive
to fix. |
安德列雅： |
我想我永遠也買不起越野休旅車。大部分的越野休旅車耗油量大得嚇死人，維修費用也很貴。 |
| Ed: |
|
Have you thought
about getting a two-door hatchback sedan? It has
a nice big trunk that is easy to load. |
艾德： |
妳有沒有考慮過買輛雙門掀背式房車？這種車的行李箱很不錯喔，空間大，放東西很方便呢。 |
| Andrea: |
|
That's
a great idea. Let's go check out that one over there! |
安德列雅： |
好主意。我們就去那邊看看那輛雙門掀背車吧！ |
