Professor: The word "parallel,", means extending in the same direction. So parallel parking is to park directly behind another car.
哦,parallel是“平行”的意思,所以parallel parking就是就在街上平行停车,或者叫“入库停车”。Phil不会parallel parking,所以他保证,只把Tom的车停在酒店停车场。
Tom: Alright Phil, I'll lend you my car but there are some rules.
Phil: Sure, what are they?
Tom: First, no speeding. If you get a ticket in a speed trap, I will never lend you my car again.
Phil: Of course not. I'll drive really slow.
Tom: Rule number two. No talking on your cell phone while you drive.
Phil: Of course, I promise I won't talk on my phone
Tom: Rule number three. If you make any money gambling, you give half to me.
Phil: Well, you drive a hard bargain, but it's a deal!
Tom最终还是同意借车了。不过,他要求Phil,不能超速;不能开车时打电话;而且如果在赌场里赢了钱,就要分一半给他!
Professor: Do you think that's a good deal?
我觉得,就象Phil说的,Tom "drives a hard bargain." 太能讨价还价了。
Professor: But I think it's a fair deal! Let's tune in next time to learn about Phil's trip to Vegas.
这次的美语三级跳就播送到这里。
