杰夫的一天 第51期：開(kāi)車(chē)上班講解(2)

We call the seats the passenger seats and the driver's seat. 我們把那些座位叫做乘客座位和駕駛員座位。

The right side of the car is usually called the passenger side of the car. 車(chē)的右側(cè)通常稱(chēng)為乘客側(cè)。

I "get comfortable for my drive" — for my commute — notice we use drive there as a noun; it can be a verb and a noun. 我“舒服地坐在座位上準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)車(chē)”——注意到“drive”這詞在這里作名詞。它既能作動(dòng)詞，又能作名詞。

"I put my coffee mug into the cup holder." “我把咖啡杯放在杯托上。”

A mug, "mug," is just a big cup. 馬克杯(mug)是大杯子。

We talk about coffee mugs, they're big cups that you put your coffee into. 我們所說(shuō)的咖啡馬克杯，就是指裝咖啡的大杯子。

In many cars, there is a special place for a cup or a bottle, and that's called a cup holder, "holder." 很多汽車(chē)?yán)锒加袑?zhuān)門(mén)放杯子或瓶子的地方，那樣的地方叫做杯托(holder)。

It holds the cup so you can have your coffee in your car. 它承托杯子，這樣你就能在汽車(chē)?yán)锓趴Х取?/p>

I "put the keys in the ignition." 我“將鑰匙插入點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)里。”

The keys are, of course, what starts your car. 這鑰匙當(dāng)然是你用來(lái)發(fā)動(dòng)汽車(chē)的。

It's the piece of metal that you open your car door with — you unlock it. 它也是你打開(kāi)車(chē)門(mén)的一塊金屬。

Well, you also start the car with your keys, and you put them into something called the ignition. 是的，你還用鑰匙發(fā)動(dòng)汽車(chē)，你把它插入點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)里。

And, the ignition, "ignition," is the part of the car that starts the engine. 點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)(ignition)是汽車(chē)發(fā)動(dòng)引擎的部位。
