The time has gone so fast. But, I feel better that we are taking a road trip for the next week so I can see more of the countryside and a few other cities before I go home. The first step is always to get wheels, and we have my car so that step is done. Our highways go through very remote areas and you don't want to get stuck out there if you don't have to. First, check the oil in the engine. Next, check the windshield wiper fluid. Bugs and dirt get all over your windshield and you want to be able to see clearly. Finally we need to walk around the car and make sure the tires look good. If there are any tears, or if the air pressure appears low and they feel soft to the touch, then we need to go and get them filled.
<本期重點詞匯> wheels是車的俚語說法。如果你對別人說：“Nice wheels！”，這是指他們有一輛很漂亮的車。 pull over 開到路邊 windshield n.擋風(fēng)玻璃 windshield wipers 雨刷 windshield wiper fluid (刮水器)清洗劑 tire n.輪胎 crooked ad.彎曲的 aligned ad.對齊的 <參考譯文> A: 羅，真不能相信你在美國就只能再呆兩周了，時間過得太快了。 B: 是太快了，但是想到在下周回國前還可以上路旅行，看到更多的鄉(xiāng)村和其他幾個城市的風(fēng)景，我就感覺好多了。 A: 看來這是你第一次在美國開車旅行，現(xiàn)在我們有幾項基本事項需要注意。第一步就是要弄輛車，我們開我的車所以這步就省了。但是，必須要保證這輛車上路前準(zhǔn)備好。 B: 什么準(zhǔn)備？就像是保證車不會拋錨或者其他什么的？ A: 對。告訴公路會延伸到非常偏遠(yuǎn)的地方，如果沒有什么必要一定不能夠被困到那個地方。這可是又費(fèi)時間又費(fèi)錢。另外，高速公路上車輛行駛極快，如果車出現(xiàn)了問題停在路邊是相當(dāng)危險的。許多事故就是這樣發(fā)生的。 B: 那么，要將車準(zhǔn)備好都需要做些什么呢？ A: 首先，檢查發(fā)動機(jī)里的油得高度。要確保油量重組，不然發(fā)動機(jī)會出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重的問題。 B: 好的。油量看起來可以。下一步呢？ A: 接下來，檢查擋風(fēng)玻璃上的雨雪刷，蟲子或泥土?xí)L(fēng)雪刷粘住，你需要保證行駛途中視野清楚。 B: 檢查完了，雨雪刷沒問題。 A: 最后繞車走一圈檢查輪胎是否安好。如果車胎破裂，或者車胎氣壓不足，摸起來軟軟的，那么就需要打氣。 B: 這個輪胎看起來有點平。 A: 是的，看起來也有點歪。有時車輪會偏離位置。明天早上我把車開到加油站，可以在那里把它重新定位。 B: 還有什么嗎？ A: 是，還沒完事呢。我們需要在車頂放上行李架，把額外的行李放進(jìn)去了，這樣就可以把車內(nèi)的空間省出來了。
