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(jiān)持下，在你踢車之前我們先仔細(xì)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(zhuǎn)動鑰匙來點(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電動機(jī)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(dāng)你轉(zhuǎn)動鑰匙時，你聽到發(fā)動機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)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(yīng)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(rèn)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。
