生活英语口语:这车太破了...

2009-11-03来源:和谐英语

Savannah: wow, it that your sports car?

Owen: yes, do you like it?

S: I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?

O: it looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again.

S: what's wrong with it?

O: well, first of all, it needs a new engine, which is extremely expensive.

S: when's the last time you had it serviced?

O: it must have been a few years ago now.

S: I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis.

O: they do. Once my son was born, there was no reason to drive this car anymore. It's only a two-seater, you know!
S: what else is wrong with it?

O: the heating controls don't work anymore, so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car—even in the summer!

S: anything else?

O: the brakes don't really work that well anymore either.

S: why don't you get it all fixed?

O: it costs more than you think to run a car---especially when there are so many things wrong with it!

S: well, let me know when you can get it fixed. I’d love to go for a ride in it!
