A:Car trouble center. How may I help you?
汽車修理中心,你需要什么幫助?
B:My car won’t start! Stupid old car!
我的車啟動不了。真是破車。
A:Hold on, before you kick your car let’s go through some possible problems.
堅持下,在你踢車之前我們先仔細檢查下一些可能存在的問題。
B:Fine.
好吧。
A:OK, first of all, can you turn the key in the ignition?
首先,你轉動鑰匙來點了嗎?
B:Yeah! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor.
是的,我和朋友在一起,他認為可能是火花塞或起動電動機的問題。
A:Those are possible problems, but tell me, when you turn the key, do you hear the starter motor crank?
這些都可能存在問題。但是你先告訴我,當你轉動鑰匙時,你聽到發(fā)動機轉動了嗎?
B:Yeah, it sounds like it usually does when I start the car, but nothing else happens. The engine won’t start. Should I maybe press the accelerator?
是的,聲音挺起啦和平時發(fā)動車子時是一樣的,但是車并沒有發(fā)生什么。引擎并沒有發(fā)哦那個,我應該踩油門嗎?
A:No. If you step on the accelerator pedal you can flood the carburetor and your car will never start.
不要。如果你踩油門,汽化器會出問題,車子就啟動不了。
B:So what do you think it is?
你認為是什么問題?
A:I know this may seem like a silly question, but does your car have gasoline?
我知道這聽起來很愚蠢,暗示你的車還有油嗎?
B:Umm. yeah! Right! I got the car started! Thanks for your help! I told you to fill the tank!
是的,車發(fā)動起來了。謝謝你的幫助。我曾讓你加油的。 |
