LESSON 11 GOING FOR A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY
Yunbo: Hello!
云波：喂。

Dashan: Hi, Yunbo. Have you looked outside yet?
大山：云波，你好。你朝窗外看过吗？

Yunbo: No, I haven't. Not yet. I'm just getting up.
云波：没有，还没有看过。我刚刚要起床。

Dashan: Oh, I'm sorry. I hope I haven't disturbed you.
大山：噢，对不起，我希望我没打搅你吧。

Yunbo: No, it's okay. I was ready to get up anyway.
云波：没有，没关系。我反正也要起床的。

Dashan: Well, I think it's going to be a gorgeous day. So, how about going for a drive in the country?
大山：嘿，我觉得今天天气一定会很好。我们开车到乡间去兜风，你看怎么样？

Yunbo: Sounds like a great idea to me.
云波：我看这是个好主意。

Dashan: We're been in Canada for almost a month now and we haven't seen much of the countryside yet.
大山：我们来加拿大已经快有一个月了，可是我们还没怎么看见乡下的景色呢。

Yunbo: You're right, Dashan. Rumei's still sleeping, but I know she'll love the idea.
云波：大山，你说得对，如梅现在还在睡觉，可我相信她会赞同这个建议的。

Dashan: Great. I'll ask the front desk clerk for the name of the car rental agency nearby.
大山：好的。我来向服务台工作人员问问附近的汽车租赁处。

Yunbo: Okay. Let's meet in the coffee shop in about an hour. We can all go to the car rental agency together.
云波：行，大约一个小时后我们在咖啡厅见。我们可以一起去汽车租赁处。

Dashan: See you then.
回头见。

Rumei: I can't wait to go out into the wide open spaces. It'll be great to unwind.
如梅：我巴不得现在就到广阔的田野里去。能轻松一下简直太好了。

Yunbo: I agree. You always come up with great ideas, Dashan.
云波：我也这么想。大山，你总是能想出好主意。

Dashan: Thanks, I think we're going to have a terrific time.
大山：谢谢夸奖。我想我们会很开心的。

Rumei: Well, I've brought my camera and two rolls of film.
如梅：我么，我带上了照相机还带上了两个胶卷。

Agent: Good morning, sir. How can I help you?
经办人：你好，先生。要我帮忙吗？

Dashan: I'd like to rent a car for the weekend.
大山：我想租一辆汽车周末用。

Agent: Certainly. Do you have a reservation?
经办人：当然可以。你预订了吗？

Dashan: No, I'm afraid I don't.
大山：没有，我没有。

Agent: Well, let me see... You're in luck. I have a few cars left. What size car would you like?
经办人：那么，让我来查一查。你很有运气。我这儿还剩下几部车。您需要什么型号的车？

Dashan: Let's see... We're three adults. Have you got any mid-size cars?
大山：我想想。我们是三个大人。你有中型的吗？

Agent: Yes, I have. I've got a Ford. We have a special rate this weekend...$89.90, including tax. You get 800 kilometres free. Then it's 12 cents for each additional kilometre.
经办人：有。我这儿有一部福特牌的。这个周末我们实行优惠价，89.90加元，包括税金以及800公里行程。然后每行车一公里，加收12分。

Dashan: That sounds reasonable.
大山：听起来倒是很合理。

Agent: May I see your driver's license and a major credit card?
经办人：请给我看看你的汽车驾驶执照和一张主要信用卡，好吗？

Dashan: Here you are.
大山：给你。

Agent: Would you like to take out collision insurance?
经办人：你愿意购买交通事故保险吗？

Dashan: No, thanks. I won't need any insurance. My credit card covers it.
大山：不，谢谢。我不需要任何保险。我的信用证包括这项。

Agent: May I have a local address?
经办人：请问您在本地的住址？

Dashan: I'm staying at the Hotel St. Jacques on Pierre Street.
大山：我们住在皮埃尔大街的圣雅克旅馆。

Agent: Can you sign this agreement in these three places? Thanks. You can pick up your car in the parking lot. Yours is the white Ford.
经办人：请您在这三个地方签字，好吗？谢谢。您可以到停车场去取车。您的车是白色的福特。

Dashan: Thank you.
大山：谢谢。
