A：Welcome to Al’s Garage. What seems to be the problem?歡迎來到Al’s汽車修理廠。有什么問題?

B：No problem at all! I am taking a long road trip and I want to make sure my car is in good mechanical condition.沒問題。我正在開車行駛很遠(yuǎn)的路程，我想確保車子狀況良好。

A：Very wise decision. When was the last time you had a tune up?明智的決定。你上次是什么時(shí)候保養(yǎng)車子的?

B：Not that long ago, I think it was four months ago.時(shí)間不長(zhǎng)，我想是4個(gè)月前。

A：We usually recommend that you bring your car in every five thousand kilometers.我們通常建議您每行駛完5千公里就來保養(yǎng)下車子。

B：Why? I mean, what exactly do you do to a car that you need to check it so often?什么?我是說,為什么要經(jīng)常檢查車子，你們是如何來保養(yǎng)車子的?

A：First of all, we change the motor oil and oil filter. If you don’t do this, it can cause your engine to wear faster and that means you would probably have to change the pistons and intake valves.首先，我們更換機(jī)油和濾油器 。如果你不換這個(gè)，這會(huì)導(dǎo)致你的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)耗損過快，也就是說你必須得更換活塞和進(jìn)氣閥。

B：I see. What else?我明白了。還有別的嗎?

A：We also check your spark plugs, fuel filter, and other oil levels such as hydraulic fluid. We also check the clutch and brakes to determine when you will need new ones.我們還會(huì)檢查火花塞，燃油濾清器和其他油的指數(shù)，比如液壓油。我們還會(huì)檢查離合器和剎車來判斷你是否需要更換新的零件。

B：Ok, well, when you put it that way, it doesn’t seem like a waste of time and money.好吧，你們那樣做的話，看起來不像是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和錢。

A：Trust me, regular tune ups will keep your car running smoothly and avoid break downs.相信我，定期保養(yǎng)，會(huì)讓你的車子駕駛起來沒有任何問題，而且能避免拋錨。
