A:Car trouble center. How may I help you?

汽車(chē)修理中心，你需要什么幫助？

B:My car won’t start! Stupid old car!

我的車(chē)啟動(dòng)不了。真是破車(chē)。

A:Hold on, before you kick your car let’s go through some possible problems.

堅(jiān)持下，在你踢車(chē)之前我們先仔細(xì)檢查下一些可能存在的問(wèn)題。

B:Fine.

好吧。

A:OK, first of all, can you turn the key in the ignition?

首先，你轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)鑰匙來(lái)點(diǎn)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(rèn)為可能是火花塞或起動(dòng)電動(dòng)機(jī)的問(wèn)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(wèn)題。但是你先告訴我，當(dāng)你轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)鑰匙時(shí)，你聽(tīng)到發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)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(shí)發(fā)動(dòng)車(chē)子時(shí)是一樣的，但是車(chē)并沒(méi)有發(fā)生什么。引擎并沒(méi)有發(fā)哦那個(gè)，我應(yīng)該踩油門(mén)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(mén)，汽化器會(huì)出問(wèn)題，車(chē)子就啟動(dòng)不了。

B:So what do you think it is?

你認(rèn)為是什么問(wèn)題？

A:I know this may seem like a silly question, but does your car have gasoline?

我知道這聽(tīng)起來(lái)很愚蠢，暗示你的車(chē)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(chē)發(fā)動(dòng)起來(lái)了。謝謝你的幫助。我曾讓你加油的。
