AWhat are we going to do? I can't get the car out of this ditch. I'm stuck!

該怎么辦？車(chē)子無(wú)法離開(kāi)這個(gè)溝渠，我被困住了。

BI'm worried, Tom. I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour.

我好擔(dān)心，我已經(jīng)快一小時(shí)沒(méi)看到其他車(chē)子了。

AI know. This is terrible. What can we do? This snow doesn't stop falling!

我知道，這很糟糕。怎么辦呢？雪一直下個(gè)不停。

BI told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here?

我告訴過(guò)你今天應(yīng)該待在城里的。氣象報(bào)告說(shuō)百分之百會(huì)下雪。為什么你想上來(lái)這里？

AI wanted to show you the cabin. We only had another half-hour to go.

我想讓你看看小木屋，我們?cè)僮甙胄r(shí)就到了。

BWell, now we're stuck. What can we do?

現(xiàn)在被困住了，怎么辦呢？

AI don't know.

我不知道。

BI've heard that when this happens, it's important to save energy.

我聽(tīng)過(guò)這種事情發(fā)生時(shí)，節(jié)省能源很重要。

AWhat do you mean?

怎么說(shuō)呢？

BWe're stranded here, Tom. We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car. The car's energy is what will keep us warm.

我們被困在這里了，可能會(huì)很久。我們需要保存車(chē)子的汽油，車(chē)子的能量會(huì)讓我們保持暖和。

AI have plenty of gas.

我還有很多汽油。

BYes, but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do, it will die soon. Then we'll freeze.

是的，但是汽油和電池都還在消耗中，我們不能讓車(chē)子一直發(fā)動(dòng)下去。如果這樣做的話，車(chē)子很快就會(huì)熄火，然后我們就會(huì)凍僵。

ASo what can we do?

那么我們?cè)趺崔k呢？

BTurn the lights off.Then, run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible.

把燈關(guān)掉，然后每小時(shí)發(fā)動(dòng)車(chē)子和開(kāi)暖氣十五分鐘。那樣才會(huì)盡可能維持熱度。

AAlright. That's a good idea.

好的，好主意。

BI wish we hadn't come up here. Now we'll probably be here for days.

我真希望我們沒(méi)上來(lái)，現(xiàn)在可能會(huì)待在這里好幾天。

ADays?

好幾天？

BYes, it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms. People get stranded for days.

沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這發(fā)生過(guò)。大的暴風(fēng)雪中會(huì)發(fā)生這種事，人會(huì)被困上好幾天。

AOh, my God! It's good we have food.

喔，天啊！還好我們有吃的。

BProbably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes. Then we'll turn it on again.

我們可能還能存活。不過(guò)先關(guān)掉車(chē)子約四十五分鐘，然后再發(fā)動(dòng)。

AOkay, I'll follow your advice.

好，我照你的話做。
