对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    You looked properly fed up on the bus this morning. Are you still thinking about changing how you commute?

    今天早上在公交上,你看起来很烦躁。你还在考虑换通勤方式吗?

    中文提示

    Yeah. I'm thinking about an EV, a petrol car, maybe even an e-bike, but each option has a catch.

    是啊。我在想电车、油车,甚至电动自行车,但每个选择都有点麻烦。

  2. 对话 2

    For an EV, the big question is charging. If your block has no charger, public ones can get annoying fast.

    电车最大的问题是充电。如果你住的楼没有充电桩,公共充电很快就会让人烦。

    中文提示

    That's exactly what worries me. If I have to queue to charge after work, I won't stick with it for long.

    这正是我担心的。下班后再排队充电,我可能坚持不了多久。

  3. 对话 3

    A petrol car is simpler day to day, but fuel, insurance, and parking could eat the money you save on bus fares.

    油车日用起来更简单,但油费、保险和停车费可能会抵消你省下的公交钱。

    中文提示

    Right, and I don't want to spend loads more just to sit somewhere slightly more comfortable.

    对,而且我不想只是为了坐得舒服一点,就多花一大笔钱。
