生活英语情景口语:呃...后面有警车在追我们(在线收听

O: are you ready for your first driving lesson?
S: yes. Which one is the brake again?
O: the pedal on your left is the brake and the one on your right is the gas.
S: I’m glad this car is an automatic. I don't like having to change gears.
O: automatics are very simple to drive. The first thing you should do is put your seat belt on.
S: you should also put yours on. you never know what will happen with me in the driver’s seat!
O: very funny. Next you should check your side mirrors and your rear view mirror. Can you see out of them?
S: I can’t see anything out of the side mirror on your side of the car. Could you move it forward a bit, please?
O: how’s that?
S: that’s better. Now what?
O: check your petrol situation.
S: the tank is almost empty. I guess I’ll drive to the petrol station to fill it up.
O: that’s a good idea. Put your keys in the ignition, start it up, put the car in reserve, wait for the road to be clear, and then back out of the driveway.
S: I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll get you there in one piece.
O: remember, no honking this time. The horn is only for emergencies!
S: why does that cop car behind me have its red lights on?
准备好上第一节驾驶课了吗?
准备好了.再告诉我一遍哪个是刹车?
你左脚边那个踏板是刹车,右边那个踏板是油门.
我很高兴这辆车是自动档的.我可不喜欢换挡.
自动挡的车很好开.你要做的头一件事就是要系好安全带.
你应该把你那边也系上.你永远也不会知道驾驶员这边会发生什么事!
真好笑.下一步,你要记得检查两边的侧镜和后视镜.你都能看见吗?
你那边的侧镜我一点都看不见.你能帮我往前调一点吗?
怎么样?
好多了.现在干什么?
查看一下你的油表.
油箱几乎空了.我想我得开到加油站去加油.
你说的对.把钥匙插进点火开关里.发动车,把档位调到倒车档,等路面的车都通过后,慢慢倒出机动车道.
我开到了.别担心.我保证你能安全到达.
记住,这时候不要按喇叭.喇叭只是遇到紧急情况的时候才能用.
我后面的警车为什么亮起了红灯?
