Parking in a Garage · 停车场停车
basicHi, is there parking available? I need to park for about three hours.
你好,还有车位吗?我大概要停三个小时。
Yes, we have spaces available. The rate is $5 per hour, or you can get the daily max of $25. Would you like a ticket or are you paying now?
有的,还有空位。每小时5美元,或者一天封顶25美元。你要取票还是现在付?
I'll take a ticket. Do I pay when I leave?
我取票吧。走的时候付吗?
Yes, pay at the machine near the exit before you get your car. You can pay by cash or card. Insert your ticket, pay, and then use the validated ticket to open the exit gate.
是的,取车前在出口旁边的机器上付款。可以用现金或刷卡。插入票据,付款,然后用验证过的票打开出口闸门。
Got it. Are there any compact car spots closer to the elevator?
明白了。电梯附近有小型车位吗?
Yes, Level 2 has some compact spots right by the elevator. Just follow the green arrows on the floor — they'll lead you to open spaces.
有的,2层电梯旁边有小型车位。跟着地面上的绿色箭头走——它们会指向空车位。
Great. Is the garage open 24 hours, or does it close at a certain time?
好的。停车场是24小时的,还是几点关门?
We're open 24/7, but the office closes at 10 PM. After that, everything is automated. If you have any issues with the machine, there's a help button that connects to our call center.
我们全天24小时开放,但办公室晚上10点关。之后全部自动化。如果机器有问题,有个求助按钮可以联系我们的呼叫中心。
Perfect. And I should remember my parking level and spot number, right?
好的。我要记住停车的楼层和车位号,对吗?
Exactly. I'd suggest taking a photo of the level sign and your spot number. People forget all the time and end up wandering around looking for their car!
没错。建议拍张楼层标识和车位号的照片。经常有人忘了,到处找车!
💡 这是非常实用的建议。大型停车场很容易迷路找不到车。
Ha, good tip! I'll definitely do that. Thanks!
哈哈,好建议!我一定拍。谢谢!
Parking Meters and Violations · 咪表和违停
intermediateExcuse me, how does this parking meter work? I can't figure out how to pay.
不好意思,这个咪表怎么用?我搞不清怎么付款。
💡 美国路边停车通常用电子咪表或手机App支付。不同城市的咪表操作方式不同。
Oh, this one takes coins and cards. Just insert your card, select how much time you need, and press the green button. Or you can download the ParkMobile app — it's easier.
哦,这个可以投币或刷卡。插卡,选择要停多久,按绿色按钮就行。或者你可以下载 ParkMobile 应用——更方便。
I'll use my card. How much time am I allowed to park here?
我用卡吧。这里最长能停多久?
I think the max is two hours. Check the sign on the pole — it should say the time limit and the hours when parking is metered.
我觉得最多两小时。看看杆子上的标识——上面应该写了时间限制和收费时段。
It says two-hour maximum, 8 AM to 6 PM. So after 6 PM, parking is free?
上面写最多两小时,早8点到晚6点。那6点以后停车免费?
Usually, yes. But always check for street cleaning signs too. If they're cleaning the street, you'll get a ticket even if the meter is free.
一般是的。但也要注意看有没有清扫街道的标识。如果在清扫街道,即使咪表免费时段你也会被罚款。
💡 美国路边停车规则很复杂,同一个车位在不同时间可能有不同规定。一定要仔细看所有标识。
Oh no, I just found a ticket on my windshield! What do I do now?
糟糕,我挡风玻璃上有张罚单!现在怎么办?
Let me see... Looks like a $65 fine for expired meter. You can pay it online — there should be a website and a code on the ticket. Pay within 30 days or it doubles.
让我看看……好像是咪表过期,罚65美元。可以网上交——罚单上应该有网站和编号。30天内付,不然翻倍。
Can I contest the ticket if I think it's wrong?
如果我觉得不对,可以申诉吗?
Yes, you can dispute it online or request a hearing. The instructions should be on the back of the ticket. But honestly, if the meter was expired, it's pretty hard to fight.
可以的,可以在线申诉或者要求听证。罚单背面应该有说明。但说实话,如果确实咪表过期了,很难打赢。
I guess I'll just pay it. Lesson learned — I'll set a timer on my phone next time.
那我还是交了吧。吃一堑长一智——下次我手机定个闹钟。
