What English do you need for daily life abroad?

Sure thing! So we've got three levels. Basic is $8 — that's just a wash and rinse. Deluxe is $14 — adds wax and tire shine. Ultimate is $20 — everything plus interior vacuum and air freshener. What sounds good?

没问题！我们有三个档次。基础8美元——就是洗和冲。豪华14美元——加打蜡和轮胎光亮。旗舰20美元——全包加内饰吸尘和空气清新剂。你想要哪个？

Almost! Before you pull in, make sure you fold in your side mirrors, roll up all windows, turn off your wipers, and put it in neutral. Then just follow the green light and line up your left tire with the track. The machine does the rest.

差不多！开进去之前，确保收起后视镜、关好所有窗户、关掉雨刷、挂空挡。然后跟着绿灯走，把左前轮对准轨道。机器会完成剩下的。

💡 美国自助洗车通常在加油站旁边。有的加油满一定金额可以打折。进通道前要收起后视镜、关窗。

Yep, exactly! Just shift to N. And whatever you do, don't hit the brake once you're on the track — the conveyor moves your car through. If you brake, it messes up the whole line. Just sit back and enjoy the show!

对，就是那个！挂到N。还有，上了轨道之后千万别踩刹车——传送带会带着你的车走。如果你踩刹车，整条线都会乱。就坐好享受就行！

You got it! A green light at the end means you're good to go. Shift back to Drive and pull out. There are free vacuums on the right side if you want to clean the inside too. Anything else?

没错！出口处绿灯亮了就可以走了。挂回D挡开出去。右边有免费吸尘器，如果你想清理车内也可以用。还有别的问题吗？

No worries! Everyone's nervous their first time. You'll be a pro after this. Oh, one more thing — if you fill up with gas today, you get two dollars off the car wash. Want me to add that discount?

没事！每个人第一次都紧张。洗完这次你就是老手了。哦，再说一个——如果你今天在这加油，洗车可以优惠两美元。要不要我加上这个折扣？

Oh, sorry about that. Let me take a look. Yeah, I see what you mean — looks like some tree sap didn't come off. That stuff is stubborn. We can run you through again for free, or I can hand-spot those areas real quick.

哦，抱歉。让我看看。嗯，我明白你说的——看起来有些树汁没洗掉。那玩意很顽固。我可以免费让你再过一遍，或者我快速手工擦那几个地方。

Yeah, tree sap — it's the sticky stuff that drips from trees onto your car. If you park under trees a lot, you'll get it. It bakes on in the sun and the regular wash can't always get it off. Give me two minutes, I'll take care of it.

对，tree sap——就是树上滴到车上的粘粘的东西。如果你经常在树下停车就会有。太阳一晒就固化了，普通洗车不一定洗得掉。给我两分钟，我来处理。

Best thing? Don't park under the tree if you can avoid it. But if you can't, get a good car wax or ceramic coating — that makes the sap easier to wash off. And wash your car more often when it's sap season. There you go — good as new!

最好的办法？如果能避开就别在树下停车。如果不行，打一层好的车蜡或陶瓷涂层——这样树汁更容易洗掉。在树汁多的季节多洗洗车。好了——跟新的一样！

Yeah, we do! The unlimited monthly plan is $29.99 — you can come as many times as you want. Pays for itself in like two and a half washes. Most of our regulars are on it. Want me to sign you up?

有的！无限月卡29.99美元——想来几次来几次。大概两次半就回本了。我们的常客基本都办了。要帮你注册吗？
