and once the engine starts, then you don't have to put the key forward, you just leave the key there, you take your hand off of it. 一旦引擎发动了，你就不必转动钥匙了，你把钥匙放在那不动就可以了。

　　The word ignition comes from the verb to ignite, "ignite," which means to start a fire — to start something burning, “Ignition”一词源自动词“ignite”，“ignite”是点火——点着某物的意思，

　　and of course, a car burns gasoline, that's what the engine does in order to make the car move. 当然，汽车燃烧汽油，而为了让汽车运动就得让引擎燃烧汽油。

　　After I put the keys into the ignition, I "find the gas pedal." 我将钥匙插入点火开关里后，我“找到油门踏板。”

　　A pedal, "pedal," is something you use to control with your feet usually the speed of something. 踏板（pedal），一般是你用脚控制某物速度的装置。

　　So the gas pedal is the pedal that you press down to go faster, it gives the engine more gas. 所以油门踏板是你踩下加速用的，它给引擎更多的汽油。

　　That word, pedal, can also be used as a verb. “Pedal”这词也可用作动词。

　　If you are on a bicycle, in order to make the bicycle move, you have to pedal, 如果你骑自行车，为了让自行车运动，你得蹬踏它的踏板，

　　because the things that your feet are on on a bike, or a bicycle, are called pedals. 因为踩在你脚下的东西在自行车上叫做踏板。

　　Well, you don't pedal your car, but you do have a gas pedal. 那个，你虽然不用“蹬踏”汽车，但是你的车有油门踏板。

　　I "start the car," and because "My wife drove the car last night, I have to re-adjust the rear view mirror." 我“发动汽车”，因为“我妻子前一天晚上开过车，因此我得重新调整后视镜”。
