Asking for a Ride · 请求搭便车
basicHi there! I'm sorry to bother you. My car broke down a few miles back and I have no cell service. Could you possibly give me a ride to the nearest town?
你好！抱歉打扰。我的车几英里前抛锚了，没有手机信号。能载我到最近的镇上吗？
💡 在美国搭便车要注意安全。选人多的地方，告诉朋友你的位置。有些州搭便车在高速公路上是违法的。
Oh no, that's rough. Where exactly are you trying to get to? I'm heading to Millville, about 15 miles up the road.
哦不，那太糟了。你要去哪？我去米尔维尔，前面大概15英里。
Millville would be perfect — I just need to find a mechanic or a place with phone service to call for a tow.
米尔维尔太好了——我只需要找个修理工或者有信号的地方打电话叫拖车。
There's an auto shop right on Main Street in Millville. Hop in. Just toss your bag in the back seat.
米尔维尔的主街就有个汽修店。上车吧。把包放后座就行。
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this. I was starting to worry out there with no signal.
太感谢了。真的很感激。没有信号在那边都开始担心了。
No worries. This area is pretty remote — cell coverage is spotty. What happened to your car?
没事。这一带挺偏远的——手机信号断断续续的。你车怎么了？
I'm not sure — it just started making a loud noise and then the engine died. Could be the transmission.
我不确定——突然发出很大的噪音然后发动机就熄火了。可能是变速箱。
Sounds like it could be serious. The mechanic in town is good though — he's helped me a few times. Here, let me drop you right at his shop.
听起来可能挺严重。但镇上的修理工不错——帮过我好几次。来，我直接把你送到他店门口。
That's incredibly kind of you. Can I give you some gas money at least?
你太好了。我至少给你点油钱？
Don't worry about it. We look out for each other out here. Good luck with the car — hope it's an easy fix!
不用了。在这里我们互相帮助。祝你车子好运——希望容易修！
Conversation During the Ride · 便车途中交流
intermediateSo where are you from? You don't sound like you're from around here.
你从哪来的？听口音不像本地人。
I'm from China, actually. I'm on a road trip through the national parks. It's my first time in this part of the country.
我是中国来的。正在自驾游国家公园。第一次来这个地区。
Oh wow, that's awesome! Which parks have you visited so far? We've got some of the best ones nearby.
哇，太棒了！目前去了哪些公园？我们附近有好几个最好的。
I've done Yosemite and Sequoia. Next on the list is Death Valley, then the Grand Canyon.
去了约塞米蒂和红杉。下一站是死亡谷，然后大峡谷。
Death Valley is incredible but be careful — it's brutally hot this time of year. Make sure you carry extra water and don't hike midday.
死亡谷太棒了，但要小心——这个季节热得要命。一定要多带水，中午别徒步。
Thanks for the tip. Are there any hidden gems around here that tourists usually miss?
谢谢提醒。这附近有什么游客通常会错过的隐藏好去处吗？
There's a slot canyon about 30 miles east that most tourists don't know about. No crowds, amazing rock formations. I can write down the directions for you.
东边大概30英里有个狭缝峡谷，大多数游客不知道。没有人群，岩石形态很壮观。我可以帮你写下路线。
That would be amazing! I love finding places off the beaten path.
那太好了！我喜欢找人少的地方。
Here we are — Millville. The auto shop is right there on the corner. Best of luck, and enjoy the rest of your trip!
到了——米尔维尔。汽修店就在拐角那里。祝你好运，享受接下来的旅程！
