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。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。 |
