  • We have to find a parking space. Let's drive around the block one more time. Did you say that the restaurant we're going to has no off-street parking at all?
  • 我们得找个停车位。我们围着这个街区再转一圈吧。你是不是说过,我们要去的那家餐馆根本无法街边停车?
  • None. When I called the restaurant earlier today, I was told they have ample street parking.
  • 不是的。我今天早些时候给餐馆打电话,他们说有足够的位置可以街边停车。
  • Obviously not on a Saturday night. Look, there's a space!
  • 很明显今天不是周六晚上,看,那儿有一个位置!
  • No, look at the curb. That's a loading zone and the area in front of it is a red zone.
  • 没有吧,看。那边装卸区,再前边一点就是红灯区。
  • This is impossible. We've driven along this street four times and there are no parking spaces, not even ones with meters.
  • 不可能啊。我们沿着这条街转了四次,没有一个停车位,连一点空闲的位置都没有。
  • I'd be willing to plug the meter all evening if we could just find a space.
  • 只要能找到一处停车位的话,我愿意付整晚的停车费。
  • I have an idea. Pull into that red zone.
  • 我有一个主意。开进红灯区。
  • Okay, but we can't park here. What's that?
  • 好,可是我们不能停到那里。你拿的什么东西?
  • This is my grandfather's handicapped placard. I borrowed it. We can park here with this.
  • 我爷爷的残疾人停车证。我借来的。我们可以用证件把车停在那里。
  • I don't think so. We're going to get a parking ticket or worse, and we really shouldn't be using your grandfather's placard anyway.
  • 我觉得不妥,我们可能会收到一张违规停车罚单,甚至可能是更坏的情况,总之,我们真的不应该用你爷爷的停车证。
  • Do you know how many strings I had to pull to get a reservation at the hottest restaurant in town? Come on, let's go.
  • 你知道我动了多少关系才定到了镇上最火爆的餐厅吗? 好了,走吧。
  • Why are you checking your wallet? Dinner is my treat.
  • 你为什么要看钱包?今晚我请客。
  • I just want to make sure I have enough cash for a taxi when your car gets towed!
  • 我就是想确定一下车要是被拖走了,我带没带够打车的钱!
