The New Car

新汽车

Richard is showing Paul his new car.

理查内保罗提示自己的新汽车。

Paul:This is a nice set of wheels. How much did the dealer soak you for this?

保罗：这汽车真漂亮。车商要了你多少钱？

Richard:A pile. I'll probably have to moonlight for the rest of my life, but so what, it'll be worth it. It sure beats the clunker I had before. Come on, hop in. Let's take a spin. You're not gonna believe how this sucker can haul.

理查：少不了的呀，也许我下半辈晚上得出去找找活干了。不过，这算不了什么，这车值得我这样做。它可比原来那辆破车好多了。来，上车吧。我们去兜兜风。你不会相信这车跑得有多快。

Paui:Okay then, punch it! Whoa! This thing can really bum rubber.

保罗：那好，开快点吧！哇！这玩意儿加速起来可够猛的。

Richard:And it corners like it's on rails. Check out what happens when I nail the brakes. It can stop on a dime.

理查：这车的转弯性能特别好，看！我来个急刹车怎样，能立即停下来。

Paul:Jeez, just watch out for cops or you're gonna end up in the slammer. You know that lead foot of yours.

保罗：喂，小心警察，不然你会被抓进去的，你老是爱开快车的。

Richard：Yeah, I know. I went through my last set of skins, in no time flat. I even had three blowouts in two weeks.

理查：这找知道，我很快就用坏了我最后一套轮胎。我两个星期居然跑爆了三只轮胎。

Paul:Now watch...you've only had your car for a day and some guy'll probably run a light and total it!

保罗：喂，当心……这车你只开了一天，小心闯红灯撞了它。

Richard：Knock it off, would you? What are you trying to do? Jinx it?

理查：闭嘴吧！你要干嘛？咒我？
