Buying a Car

Hi there, can I help you folks?

喂，你们好，有什么需要帮忙的吗？

I’m just browsing; seeing what’s on the lot. My daughter wants a car for her birthday, you know how it is.

我就随便看看，逛逛停车场。我女儿想要辆车当生日礼物，你懂的。

Dad! I’m sixteen already and I’m, like, the only one at school who doesn’t have a car!

爸！我都十六了，好像全校就我没车！

She is right, you know. Kids these days all have cars. Let me show you something we just got in: a 1996 sedan. Excellent gas mileage, it has dual airbags and anti lock brakes; a perfect vehicle for a young driver.

她说得没错，现在的孩子都有车。我带你看个刚到的新货：一辆1996年的轿车。油耗低，有双气囊和防抱死刹车，年轻司机开正合适。

Dad, I love it! It’s awesome! Can we get this one please?

爸，我太喜欢了！超酷！我们就买这辆好不好？

I see... What can you tell me about this one?

我看看……这辆车能介绍一下吗？

Oh, that’s just an old World War Two tank that we use for TV commercials. Now about this sedan...

哦，那只是辆老旧的二战坦克，我们用来拍电视广告的。现在我们说回这辆轿车……

Whoa, whoa wait a minute. Tell me more about this tank.

哇哦，等等，先说说这辆坦克。

Well, Sir, if you are looking for quality and safety then look no further! Three inches of reinforced steel protect your daughter from short range missile attacks.

先生，如果您追求质量和安全，那就别看了！三英寸厚的强化钢，能让您女儿免受短程导弹攻击。

Does the sedan protect her from missile attacks?

那辆轿车能让她免受导弹攻击吗？

It does not.

不能。

Well, I don’t know. Let me sleep on it.

嗯，我不太确定。让我再考虑一晚吧。

Did I mention the tank is a tank?

我有没有说过这辆坦克它就是辆坦克？

I’ll take it!

我要了！

Dad!

爸！
