A:Are you ready for your first driving lesson?準備好上第一節(jié)駕駛課了嗎?
B:Yes. Which one is the brake again?準備好了.再告訴我一遍哪個是剎車?
A:The pedal on your left is the brake and the one on your right is the gas.你左腳邊那個踏板是剎車,右邊那個踏板是油門.
B:I’m glad this car is an automatic. I don't like having to change gears.我很高興這輛車是自動檔的.我可不喜歡換擋.
A:Automatics are very simple to drive. The first thing you should do is put your seat belt on.自動擋的車很好開.你要做的頭一件事就是要系好安全帶.
B:You should also put yours on. you never know what will happen with me in the driver’s seat!你應(yīng)該把你那邊也系上.你永遠也不會知道駕駛員這邊會發(fā)生什么事!
A:Very funny. Next you should check your side mirrors and your rear view mirror. Can you see out of them?真好笑.下一步,你要記得檢查兩邊的側(cè)鏡和后視鏡.你都能看見嗎?
B:I can’t see anything out of the side mirror on your side of the car. Could you move it forward a bit, please?你那邊的側(cè)鏡我一點都看不見.你能幫我往前調(diào)一點嗎?
A:How’s that?怎么樣?
B:That’s better. Now what?好多了.現(xiàn)在干什么?
A:Check your petrol situation.查看一下你的油表.
B:The tank is almost empty. I guess I’ll drive to the petrol station to fill it up.油箱幾乎空了.我想我得開到加油站去加油.
A:That’s a good idea. Put your keys in the ignition, start it up, put the car in reserve, wait for the road to be clear, and then back out of the driveway.你說的對.把鑰匙插進點火開關(guān)里.發(fā)動車,把檔位調(diào)到倒車檔,等路面的車都通過后,慢慢倒出機動車道.
B:I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll get you there in one piece.我開到了.別擔心.我保證你能安全到達.
A:Remember, no honking this time. The horn is only for emergencies!記住,這時候不要按喇叭.喇叭只是遇到緊急情況的時候才能用.
B:Why does that cop car behind me have its red lights on?我后面的警車為什么亮起了紅燈?
