生活英語情景口語:呃...後面有警車在追我們
O: are you ready for your first driving lesson?
S: yes. Which one is the brake again?
O: the pedal on your left is the brake and the one on your right is the gas.
S: I’m glad this car is an automatic. I don't like having to change gears.
O: automatics are very simple to drive. The first thing you should do is put your seat belt on.
S: you should also put yours on. you never know what will happen with me in the driver’s seat!
O: very funny. Next you should check your side mirrors and your rear view mirror. Can you see out of them?
S: I can’t see anything out of the side mirror on your side of the car. Could you move it forward a bit, please?
O: how’s that?
S: that’s better. Now what?
O: check your petrol situation.
S: the tank is almost empty. I guess I’ll drive to the petrol station to fill it up.
O: 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.
S: I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll get you there in one piece.
O: remember, no honking this time. The horn is only for emergencies!
S: why does that cop car behind me have its red lights on?
準備好上第一節駕駛課了嗎?
準備好了.再告訴我一遍哪個是剎車?
你左腳邊那個踏板是剎車,右邊那個踏板是油門.
我很高興這輛車是自動檔的.我可不喜歡換擋.
自動擋的車很好開.你要做的頭一件事就是要繫好安全帶.
你應該把你那邊也繫上.你永遠也不會知道駕駛員這邊會發生什麼事!
真好笑.下一步,你要記得檢查兩邊的側鏡和後視鏡.你都能看見嗎?
你那邊的側鏡我一點都看不見.你能幫我往前調一點嗎?
怎麼樣?
好多了.現在幹什麼?
查看一下你的油表.
油箱幾乎空了.我想我得開到加油站去加油.
你說的對.把鑰匙插進點火開關裏.發動車,把檔位調到倒車檔,等路面的車都通過後,慢慢倒出機動車道.
我開到了.別擔心.我保證你能安全到達.
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.
我後面的警車爲什麼亮起了紅燈?
