杰夫的一天 第49期：開車上班(1)

I open my car door and throw my briefcase in the back seat, and get comfortable for my drive. 我打開車門，把公文包扔到后座上，然后調(diào)整了一下，讓我開車舒服一點(diǎn)。

I put my coffee mug into the cup holder, put the keys in the ignition, find the gas pedal, and start the car. 我把咖啡杯放在杯托上，將鑰匙插入點(diǎn)火開關(guān)里，找到油門踏板、然后發(fā)動汽車。

My wife drove the car last night, so I have to re-adjust the rear view mirror and the side mirrors. 我妻子前一天晚上開過車，因此我得重新調(diào)整后視鏡和側(cè)視鏡。

I turn on the radio to listen to the drive time traffic report. 我打開收音機(jī)收聽上班高峰期的路況播報(bào)。

I take the transmission out of park and into reverse, back out into the driveway into the street, 我把車檔由駐車檔掛到倒車檔，把汽車從車道倒到大街上，

close the garage door, and put the car into drive. 關(guān)上車庫門，然后把車檔掛到前進(jìn)檔。

I used to drive a stick shift, but as I get older, I like my automatic transmission more and more. 我過去常常開手動擋的車，但當(dāng)我年齡大了以后，我則越來越喜歡開自動擋的車。

I usually take the freeway to the office, so I get on the onramp for the freeway and drive to where I have to get off. 我通常走高速上班，因此，我從匝道上高速，然后開到我得下高速的地方。

My office is only a few miles from the exit. 我的工作地離高速公路出口只有幾英里遠(yuǎn)。

I pull into the parking garage, swiping my key card to get in. 我把車開到停車場，然后刷鑰匙卡進(jìn)停車場。

I park, grab my briefcase and coffee, and head toward the elevator. 我停好車，拿上公文包和咖啡，然后前往電梯處。

And that only took 40 minutes! 從家到工作地只花了40分鐘!
