GOING FOR A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY
Yunbo: Hello!
云波：喂。
Dashan: Hi, Yunbo. Have you looked outside yet?
大山：云波，你好。你朝窗外看過嗎?
Yunbo: No, I haven’t. Not yet. I’m just getting up.
云波：沒有，還沒有看過。我剛剛要起床。
Dashan: Oh, I’m sorry. I hope I haven’t disturbed you.
大山：噢，對不起，我希望我沒打攪你吧。
Yunbo: No, it’s okay. I was ready to get up anyway.
云波：沒有，沒關系。我反正也要起床的。
Dashan: Well, I think it’s going to be a gorgeous day. So, how about going for a drive in the country?
大山：嘿，我覺得今天天氣一定會很好。我們開車到鄉間去兜風，你看怎么樣?
Yunbo: Sounds like a great idea to me.
云波：我看這是個好主意。
Dashan: We’re been in Canada for almost a month now and we haven’t seen much of the countryside yet.
大山：我們來加拿大已經快有一個月了，可是我們還沒怎么看見鄉下的景色呢。
Yunbo: You’re right, Dashan. Rumei’s still sleeping, but I know she’ll love the idea.
云波：大山，你說得對，如梅現在還在睡覺，可我相信她會贊同這個建議的。
Dashan: Great. I’ll ask the front desk clerk for the name of the car rental agency nearby.
大山：好的。我來向服務臺工作人員問問附近的汽車租賃處。
Yunbo: Okay. Let’s meet in the coffee shop in about an hour. We can all go to the car rental agency together.
云波：行，大約一個小時后我們在咖啡廳見。我們可以一起去汽車租賃處。
Dashan: See you then.
回頭見。
Rumei: I can’t wait to go out into the wide open spaces. It’ll be great to unwind.
如梅：我巴不得現在就到廣闊的田野里去。能輕松一下簡直太好了。
Yunbo: I agree. You always come up with great ideas, Dashan.
云波：我也這么想。大山，你總是能想出好主意。
Dashan: Thanks, I think we’re going to have a terrific time.
大山：謝謝夸獎。我想我們會很開心的。
Rumei: Well, I’ve brought my camera and two rolls of film.
如梅：我么，我帶上了照相機還帶上了兩個膠卷。
Agent: Good morning, sir. How can I help you?
經辦人：你好，先生。要我幫忙嗎?
Dashan: I’d like to rent a car for the weekend.
大山：我想租一輛汽車周末用。
Agent: Certainly. Do you have a reservation?
經辦人：當然可以。你預訂了嗎?
Dashan: No, I’m afraid I don’t.
大山：沒有，我沒有。
Agent: Well, let me see... You’re in luck. I have a few cars left. What size car would you like?
經辦人：那么，讓我來查一查。你很有運氣。我這兒還剩下幾部車。您需要什么型號的車?
Dashan: Let’s see... We’re three adults. Have you got any mid-size cars?
大山：我想想。我們是三個大人。你有中型的嗎?
Agent: Yes, I have. I’ve got a Ford. We have a special rate this weekend...$89.90, including tax. You get 800 kilometres free. Then it’s 12 cents for each additional kilometre.
經辦人：有。我這兒有一部福特牌的。這個周末我們實行優惠價，89.90加元，包括稅金以及800公里行程。然后每行車一公里，加收12分。
Dashan: That sounds reasonable.
大山：聽起來倒是很合理。
Agent: May I see your driver’s license and a major credit card?
經辦人：請給我看看你的汽車駕駛執照和一張主要信用卡，好嗎?
Dashan: Here you are.
大山：給你。
Agent: Would you like to take out collision insurance?
經辦人：你愿意購買交通事故保險嗎?
Dashan: No, thanks. I won’t need any insurance. My credit card covers it.
大山：不，謝謝。我不需要任何保險。我的信用證包括這項。
Agent: May I have a local address?
經辦人：請問您在本地的住址?
Dashan: I’m staying at the Hotel St. Jacques on Pierre Street.
大山：我們住在皮埃爾大街的圣雅克旅館。
Agent: Can you sign this agreement in these three places? Thanks. You can pick up your car in the parking lot. Yours is the white Ford.
經辦人：請您在這三個地方簽字，好嗎?謝謝。您可以到停車場去取車。您的車是白色的福特。
