Professor: Well, not so fast. Let's see what happens.
Phil: Actually, I have one more question. Is the car a manual or an automatic?
Employee: It's a manual. Is that alright?
Phil: No, I can only drive an automatic.
Employee: Well I'm sorry, but all of our convertibles are manuals.
Professor: Well Winnie, do you know what the difference between a manual and an automatic car is?
当然知道,manual transmission就是手动换档,人工换档,相反的,an automatic transmission是自动换档的车。可惜,这里所有的敞篷车都是manual的,而Phil只会开automatic。
Phil: Oh no ... all your convertibles are manuals? Well, do you have any other cool cars?
Employee: Not really. Our cars are economical, not cool.
Phil: Well too bad ... Maybe my friend Tom will let me borrow his convertible.
Employee: I'm sorry we couldn't help you.
Professor: Winnie, do you know what an economical car is?
Economical, e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-a-l是“经济实惠”的意思,所以economical car就是经济型轿车喽!
Professor: That's right! So Phil wants to borrow his friend Tom's convertible. That will be very "economical" for him, and he will look cool.
嗯,这的确是个省钱又扮酷的好主意!就是不知道Tom愿不愿意把自己的敞篷车借给Phil。
