Q: 在國外開車人生地不熟的, 若發現車子快沒油, 怎麼辦?
| A: 那感覺還真是前途茫茫, 這時趕快攔一台車下來問: |
 Is
there a gas station up ahead?
前面有加油站嗎? |
|
Is
it far?
遠不遠? |
|
How
long will it take me to get there?
我要多久才到得了? |
| 若你到汽油已經燒乾了才發現, 這時只好開口借油了: |
|
I'm
sorry, but I've run out of gas and can't make it to the
nearest gas station.真抱歉, 我的油已經用完, 到不了最近的加油站. |
|
Could
you lend me a little gas?
你能借我一點汽油嗎? |
| 若你的車不是沒油, 而是拋錨, 你想搭便車進城, 則可以說: |
|
I'm
sorry, but my car broke down.
對不起,
我的車拋錨了. |
|
Could
I have a ride? / Could I hitch a ride?
我可以搭便車嗎? |
| 若打電話請求「道路救援」roadside assistance, 就得說清楚自己在哪裡了: |
|
I
need roadside assistance.
我需要道路救援 |
