零起点美语-Get Ready, Set, Go!

Get Ready, Set, Go!

就位、预备、出发！
After loading all their belongings, Evan and Kathy are ready to drive into Amsterdam.
K:I guess we're all set now. Let's go!
E:Right. Now, let's see. The emergency brake is here, the turn signals work this way, here's the horn...
K:Don't honk the horn so loud! There might be anti-noise laws here.
E:I'm just testing it! And...let's see...here are the lights and the high beams...
K:But it's daytime. Why do you need them now?
E:I don't need them now; I want to check all the equipment before I start driving.
K:Oh.
E:Our seat belts are fastened, the side and rearview mirrors are adjusted...I think I'll put my seat back a little further.
K:Well, hurry up! I'm dying to get going.
E:Safety first. Otherwise, you might really die!
K:Evan Whiting! Watch what you say!
E:OK, OK, I'm only teasing. There, I guess that's everything. We have a full tank of gas; the engine is warmed up. We're off!
K:Finally!
艾凡和凯西把他们所有的东西放上车后，准备开车进阿姆斯特丹市。
凯西：我想现在我们一切都已就绪。咱们这就上路！
艾凡：好的。现在，我看一下。紧急煞车在这儿，方向灯这么打，喇叭在这儿……
凯西：不要按喇叭按得那么大声！这里也许有反噪音法也说不定。
艾凡：我只是测试一下而已！还有……我看看……车灯在这儿，远灯……
凯西：但是现在是白天，你为什么需要灯呢？
艾凡：现在不需要，我想在行前检查所有的装备。
凯西：哦。
艾凡：安全带系上了，车两边和车内的后视镜也调好了……我想我得把我的座位往后挪一下。
凯西：嗯，快一点！我迫不及待地想出发了。
艾凡：安全第一。要不然，你也许因此车祸身亡！
凯西：艾凡‧怀特宁！注意你的言辞！
艾凡：好嘛，好嘛，我只是在开玩笑嘛。好了，我想就这些了。车子的油箱都加满了，引擎也暖好了。我们上路了！
凯西：终于出发了！
