     NICK: I like the Honda Accord you showed me before.

    I think it's more practical for my needs.
    JOHN: Alright, sir. You are making a good choice.
    Honda has made a lot of design improvements in the new Accord.
    NICK: What does it come with standard?
    JOHN: On all our new cars, the standards include:
    air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, air bags, and an AM/FM stereo with a CD player.
    But on the Accord, there is another standard item as well.
    The Accord comes with cruise control.
    NICK: Cruise control? I don't like that.
    JOHN: Why not, sir?
    NICK: I think it's dangerous. What if I can't turn it off?
    JOHN: Well, sir, I know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control.
    But Honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction that led to an accident.
    NICK: I wish it didn't have cruise control. My wife doesn't like it either.
    JOHN: You know, sir, you don't have to use it.
    You can turn it on or off. If you don't want to use it, you just never turn it on.
    NICK: I suppose. And what about the sunroof? Is that standard?
    JOHN: No, the sunroof is optional, sir.
    NICK: I see. Another important question is the time I can get this car.
    I need a new car rather soon.
    JOHN: Well, I can say that the new models will be here in August.
    If you order one now, we will have it for you in August.
    NICK: That's good enough, I think. What colors does the new Accord come in?
    JOHN: We have this new model in red, white, black, or silver.
    These are the standard colors.
    Of course you could specially order from various other colors too.
    NICK: My brother has last year's Accord.
    And his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver.
    I really like that color. I wonder if I can get that color on my Accord.
    JOHN: I know the color you mean. Is this it, sir?
    NICK: Yes, I think that's it. Can I get that on the Accord?
    JOHN: Yes, you can.
    That color is very popular with Honda buyers. So we've kept it available.
    NICK: Well, I think I want to order the new Accord then.
    It looks like an excellent car.
    JOHN: You have made a good choice, sir.
    I drive an Accord myself. They are very solidly built machines, very reliable.
    NICK: Yes, I know. I think Honda is the most reliable car on the road.
    I would never change to anything else.
    The Honda I have now almost never has service problems. It runs smooth as silk.
    JOHN: Alright, sir. I will get the paperwork ready for you. Just a moment.
    尼克:我喜欢上次你介绍给我的那部本田雅阁。
    它比较符合我的需求。
    约翰:好的,先生。你选对了。
    本田在新款雅阁的设计上做了很多改进。
    尼克:基本配备是什么呢?
    约翰:我们新车的基本配备包括:
    空调、防死锁煞车、气囊和附有 AM/FM 调频以及 CD 的音响。
    但是雅阁还有另一项基本配备。[FS:PAGE]
    就是定速器。
    尼克:定速器?我不喜欢那个。
    约翰:为什么不呢?
    尼克:我觉得很危险,万一不能解除设定呢?
    约翰:有些顾客很在意定速器的问题。
    但是雅阁的车从来没有因为定速器故障而导致意外事件。
    尼克:我希望不要有定速器,我太太也不喜欢。
    约翰:先生,你不必用到它。
    你可以激活或解除设定,如果你不想用,不要激活它就好。
    尼克:我想也是。那么天窗呢?是基本配备吗?
    约翰:不是。天窗是选择性的。
    尼克:这样啊。再一个重要的问题是什么时候可以拿车。
    我很快就需要车子。
    约翰:新的款式八月份会到。
    如果你现在订购,我们八月份可以交车。
    尼克:那还不错。新款式的雅阁有什么颜色约翰:新款式的颜色有红色、白色、黑色和银色。
    这些都是标准颜色。
    当然你也可以特别指定其它的颜色。
    尼克:我哥哥有一辆去年的雅阁车子。
    是淡紫色混合银色。
    我很喜欢那个颜色,我可不可以选那个颜色?
    约翰:我知道你说的颜色。是这个吗?先生。
    尼克:是的,就是那个。我可以选那种色吗?
    约翰:可以。
    那个颜色在雅阁的车子中是很受欢迎的,所以我们接受指定那种颜色。
    尼克:那么我想订购一辆雅阁的新款车。
    看起来像是很棒的车子。
    约翰:你的选择正确。
    我自己也开雅阁的车,很坚固,很可靠。
    尼克:是的。我认为雅阁是路面上最可靠的车子。
    我不会改变心意的。
    我现在开的雅阁几乎没有送修的问题,它跑得像丝绸一般平顺。
    约翰:好的,我帮你填写资料,请稍等。
