You

Hi, I saw your post on the rideshare board. You're driving to Austin this weekend? I'd love to share the ride.

你好,我在拼车告示板上看到你的帖子。你这周末去奥斯汀?我想拼车。

Hey! Yes, I'm leaving Saturday morning around 8 AM. I have room for two more passengers. Where exactly in Austin do you need to go?

嗨!是的,周六早上8点左右走。还能带两个人。你在奥斯汀具体去哪?

You

I need to get to the university area. How much would you like for gas money?

我要去大学区。油费你想怎么分?

I usually split gas evenly among everyone in the car. It's about a three-hour drive, so probably $20 to $25 per person.

我通常车里所有人平分油费。大概三个小时的车程,每人大概20到25美元。

You

That sounds fair. Can I bring a small suitcase? I'm staying for a few days.

合理。我能带个小行李箱吗?我要住几天。

Sure, there's trunk space. Just keep it to one bag though — I've got the other passenger's stuff too.

可以,后备箱有空间。但尽量一个包——另一个乘客也有东西。

You

No problem. Where should I meet you, and what car are you driving?

没问题。在哪碰面?你开什么车?

I'll pick you up at the Walmart parking lot on 5th Street. I drive a blue Honda CR-V. I'll text you when I'm close.

我在第五街的沃尔玛停车场接你。我开蓝色本田CR-V。快到了我发短信给你。

You

Sounds great. Should I pay you cash or can I send it through an app?

太好了。给你现金还是通过APP转?

Either works. Venmo or Zelle is easiest. You can pay when we arrive — no rush. See you Saturday!

都行。Venmo或Zelle最方便。到了再付——不急。周六见!

You

Thanks for driving. Is it okay if I play some music, or do you prefer quiet?

谢谢开车。我能放点音乐吗?还是你喜欢安静?

Music is fine! I've got Spotify connected. Feel free to queue up whatever you like. Just keep the volume reasonable.

放音乐没问题!我连了Spotify。随便点你喜欢的。音量适中就行。

You

Do you mind if I eat in the car? I brought a sandwich for the road.

能在车里吃东西吗?我带了个三明治。

💡 拼车时在别人车里吃东西要先问。避免味道重的食物。吃完自己清理垃圾。

Go ahead, just be careful with crumbs. There's a trash bag hanging behind my seat — feel free to use it.

吃吧,小心碎屑就行。我座位后面挂了个垃圾袋——随便用。

You

Would you like me to help with navigation? I can keep an eye on the GPS.

需要我帮忙导航吗?我可以看着GPS。

Actually, that would be great. My phone is in the holder there. If there's traffic ahead, let me know so I can find an alternate route.

那太好了。我手机在那个支架上。如果前面堵车告诉我,我找别的路。

You

There's a rest stop in about 10 miles. Would you like to take a break? I can drive for a while if you need a rest.

大概10英里后有个休息站。要休息一下吗?如果你累了我可以开一会儿。

I appreciate the offer, but my insurance only covers me as the driver. Let's stop for a quick coffee break though — I could use one.

谢谢你提议,但我的保险只覆盖我自己开车。不过停下来喝杯咖啡吧——我正好需要。

You

Let me buy the coffee — it's the least I can do since you're driving the whole way.

咖啡我请——你全程开车,这是我至少能做的。

That's really nice of you, thanks! Next time you're heading this way, hit me up. I make this drive almost every month.

太客气了,谢谢!下次你往这个方向来,找我。我几乎每个月都跑这趟。
