Fixing a Flat Tire

更换爆胎
Evan encounters an unwelcome surprise in his plans.
K:Copenhagen! I can't wait! I hope the border crossing into Denmark is as smooth as it was into Germany.
E:It should be. We have our U.S. passports, and I have all this car's papers in order, too. Besides, do we look like terrorists?
K:I know I don't, but...
E:Funny. Really funny.
K:Hey! What's that sound? Why is the car bumping like this?
E:Uh-oh. We've got a flat. I'll pull over here onto the shoulder.
K:Oh, no! Is this serious?
E:No, just a flat. There's a spare tire in the trunk. And a tool kit. Why not fix us up some sandwiches and drinks? Now is the perfect time.
K:OK. Can I help?
E:Yes, by preparing the snacks. This is a man's job.
K:Ugh! I have to tour through Europe with Rambo Junior.
E:Here's the jack, the wrench, and the spare tire. I'm all set. Out of my way, young lady. Let a man do his work!
K:Spare me!

艾凡遇到了一件不愉快的意外事件。
凯西：哥本哈根！我等不及了！我希望横越边界到丹麦时能和到德国一样的顺利。
艾凡：应该会很顺利的。我们持的是美国护照，而且车子的证件也都齐全。此外，难道我们看起来像恐怖份子吗？
凯西：我知道我看起来不像，但是……
艾凡：好笑。真的很好笑。
凯西：嘿！那是什么声音？为什么这辆车颠簸成这个样子？
艾凡：惨了。轮胎漏气了。我把车子停靠到路肩去。
凯西：哦，糟了！严重吗？
艾凡：不严重，只是轮胎没气而已。后车箱内有一个备胎和工具箱。你为什么不为我们准备一些三明治和饮料呢？现在正是时候。
凯西：没问题。我可以帮忙吗？
艾凡：可以，只要准备点心就帮上忙了。修车是男人的工作。
凯西：唷！看样子我得和蓝波二世结伴环游欧洲了。
艾凡：千斤顶、板手、备胎都在这里。一切就绪。小姐，别妨碍我。让男人干活吧！
凯西：拜托！
