實(shí)用口語：在加油站 At The Gas Station

ATTENDANT: Can I help you, sir?

SAM: Yes, I’ve been sitting here for a few minutes.

I’m waiting for someone to put gas in my car.

ATTENDANT: I’m sorry, sir. But this is the self-service pump.

SAM: Self-service?

ATTENDANT: Yes. You must fill up the car yourself.

SAM: Are you serious?

ATTENDANT: Yes. Are you traveling here?

SAM: Yes, I’m from Taiwan. I never heard of a gas station where you fill up your own car.

ATTENDANT: In America, most gas stations are like this.

SAM: Do I really have to do it? I don’t know how.

ATTENDANT: Well, since this is your first time, I will do it for you.

But next time, if you want a full-service gas station, you should look at the sign.

SAM: What sign?

ATTENDANT: Under the sign for the gas station,

there will be a smaller sign that says "Self-Serve" or "Full-Service."

And some gas stations have both.

But if they have both, some pumps will be self-serve and some will be full-serve.

You have to look at the signs.

SAM: I see.

ATTENDANT: What kind of gas does this car take?

SAM: I don’t know. It’s a rental.

ATTENDANT: I will give you premium unleaded. Alright?

SAM: Sure, why not?

ATTENDANT: That is the pump you are in front of.

SAM: Is it expensive?

ATTENDANT: It is the most expensive.

SAM: Well, I don’t want it then. Can I move to another pump?

ATTENDANT: Yes, I can give you regular unleaded. But you have to back up the car a little.

SAM: Give me regular unleaded then. I will back up.

Can you wash my windows for me?

ATTENDANT: I’m sorry, sir. This is not a full service gas station.

I will help you fill the gas, but we don’t wash windows here.

SAM: Really? Well, I guess I have to get used to it.

加油站服務(wù)員：先生，需要服務(wù)嗎?

山姆：我在這里等一陣子了。

我在這里等人幫我加油。

加油站服務(wù)員：先生，抱歉，這里是自助加油站。

山姆：自助?

加油站服務(wù)員：是的，你必須自己加油。

山姆：真的嗎?

加油站服務(wù)員：是的，你是來旅游的嗎?

山姆：是的，我從臺灣來，我從未聽說過需要自己加油的加油站。

加油站服務(wù)員：美國大部份的加油站都是自助的。

山姆：我真的必須自己來嗎?我不知道怎么弄。

加油站服務(wù)員：既然你沒弄過，那我先幫你好了。

下一次如果你想到服務(wù)加油站，應(yīng)該注意一下招牌。

山姆：什么招牌?

加油站服務(wù)員：在加油站招牌底下，

有一個小標(biāo)示寫著"自助加油站"或"服務(wù)加油站"。

有些加油站兩種都有。

如果是兩種都有的，自助式和服務(wù)式的加油管道會分開。

你要看標(biāo)示。

山姆：我懂了。

加油站服務(wù)員：這輛車加什么油?

山姆：我不知道，這是租來的。

加油站服務(wù)員：我給你加優(yōu)質(zhì)無鉛汽油好嗎?

山姆：好啊。

加油站服務(wù)員：你前面的加油管就是了。

山姆：很貴嗎?

加油站服務(wù)員：這是最貴的。

山姆：那我不要這種，我可以換別的嗎?

加油站服務(wù)員：那我給你加一般無鉛汽油，但是你要把車后退一點(diǎn)。

山姆：那么給我一般無鉛汽油好了，我后退。

你可以幫我洗一下窗戶嗎?

加油站服務(wù)員：先生，抱歉，這不是服務(wù)加油站。

我只能幫你加油，無法幫你洗窗戶。

山姆：真的?我想我要慢慢習(xí)慣才是。
