地道美語聽力播客598:修理汽車

Mechanic: Hi, I'm the mechanic. What can I do for you?

梅凱尼克：嗨，我是梅凱尼克，有什么需要幫忙的嗎?

Amy: My car is making a very weird noise. It sounds like this: gulug, gulug, gulug...

艾米：我的車發(fā)出一種怪異的聲音，它發(fā)出的聲音就像：咕嚕，咕嚕，咕嚕......

Mechanic: Hm, that doesn't sound good. Where is it coming from?

梅凱尼克：嗯，這聲音聽起來不對勁，這聲音是從那來的?

Amy: I'm not sure. When I'm in the car, it sounds like it's coming from the engine, but when I get out of the car, it sounds like it's coming from directly under the trunk, maybe the muffler?

艾米：我不確定，當我在車上時，它的聲音聽起來像來自發(fā)動機，但當我下車后，它聽起來像直接來自汽車后備箱，可能是消音器?

Mechanic: That's not a noise a muffler would make. Let me take a look. Can you start the car and pop the hood?

梅凱尼克：這不是消音器發(fā)出的聲音。讓我看一下，你可以發(fā)動汽車，打開引擎蓋嗎?

Amy: Sure.

艾米：可以。

Mechanic: Well, I don't hear the sound right now, but your battery needs replacing, you have a coolant leak, your carburetor needs adjusting, and your spark plugs are shot. I need to look under the car.

梅凱尼克：好，我現(xiàn)在聽不見聲音，但你需要更換電池，你的冷卻液泄漏，化油器需要調(diào)整，你的打火塞也壞了，我需要看一看車底。

Amy: Okay, go ahead.

艾米：好的，看吧!

Mechanic: Your brake pads need replacing and your tires need balancing.

梅凱尼克：你的剎車片需要換了，你的輪胎需要調(diào)整。

Amy: But are any of those problems causing that horrible noise?

艾米：但是是這些問題引發(fā)的噪音嗎?

Mechanic: I don't know. I don't hear the noise right now, so it's hard to tell. But that's all work you need to have done on this car anyway for it to run right. It's only a matter of time before your car stops working if you don't take care of those problems.

梅凱尼克：我不知道，我現(xiàn)在聽不到那個聲音了，所以很難判斷。但是對這個車你所需要做的這些無論如何讓都會是它正常運行起來的。如果你不處理好這些問題，那么你的車不再運轉(zhuǎn)只是時間問題。

Amy: I come in with one problem and you find 10 others. I guess you should go ahead. What else can I do?

艾米：我來這是因為一個毛病，結(jié)果你給我找出10個問題，我想你應(yīng)該按你說的去修理，我還可以做什么呢?

Mechanic: Um, buy a bus pass?

梅凱尼克：額，買一張公交卡?
