A：Welcome to Al’s Garage. What seems to be the problem?歡迎來(lái)到Al’s汽車(chē)修理廠。有什么問(wèn)題?

B：No problem at all! I am taking a long road trip and I want to make sure my car is in good mechanical condition.沒(méi)問(wèn)題。我正在開(kāi)車(chē)行駛很遠(yuǎn)的路程，我想確保車(chē)子狀況良好。

A：Very wise decision. When was the last time you had a tune up?明智的決定。你上次是什么時(shí)候保養(yǎng)車(chē)子的?

B：Not that long ago, I think it was four months ago.時(shí)間不長(zhǎng)，我想是4個(gè)月前。

A：We usually recommend that you bring your car in every five thousand kilometers.我們通常建議您每行駛完5千公里就來(lái)保養(yǎng)下車(chē)子。

B：Why? I mean, what exactly do you do to a car that you need to check it so often?什么?我是說(shuō),為什么要經(jīng)常檢查車(chē)子，你們是如何來(lái)保養(yǎng)車(chē)子的?

A：First of all, we change the motor oil and oil filter. If you don’t do this, it can cause your engine to wear faster and that means you would probably have to change the pistons and intake valves.首先，我們更換機(jī)油和濾油器 。如果你不換這個(gè)，這會(huì)導(dǎo)致你的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)耗損過(guò)快，也就是說(shuō)你必須得更換活塞和進(jìn)氣閥。

B：I see. What else?我明白了。還有別的嗎?

A：We also check your spark plugs, fuel filter, and other oil levels such as hydraulic fluid. We also check the clutch and brakes to determine when you will need new ones.我們還會(huì)檢查火花塞，燃油濾清器和其他油的指數(shù)，比如液壓油。我們還會(huì)檢查離合器和剎車(chē)來(lái)判斷你是否需要更換新的零件。

B：Ok, well, when you put it that way, it doesn’t seem like a waste of time and money.好吧，你們那樣做的話(huà)，看起來(lái)不像是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和錢(qián)。

A：Trust me, regular tune ups will keep your car running smoothly and avoid break downs.相信我，定期保養(yǎng)，會(huì)讓你的車(chē)子駕駛起來(lái)沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題，而且能避免拋錨。
