杰夫的一天 第84期：開車回家和跑腿講解(10)

Well, the bagger puts my food into my cart, and I "push my cart to my car." 好了，裝袋工把我的食品放進(jìn)了手推車?yán)?，我?ldquo;手推車推到了我車子旁邊”。

My cart, "cart," sometimes called a shopping cart, 手推車(cart)，有時又稱為購物車，

is what you use to move or to take your food to your car — what you put your food into when you are shopping. 是你用來搬運或運載你的食物到你車子旁邊的工具——購物時你用來放東西的車子。

It's a little like a big box — metal box with wheels on it. 它像一個大箱子——帶有輪子的金屬箱子。

So, it helps you move things, you don't have to carry them yourself. 因此，它幫你搬運東西，你就不必自己拿著它們。

"I open the trunk and load everything up." “我打開后備箱并把所有東西都裝了進(jìn)去”。

To load up means to put things into, in this case, your car. “Load up”在這里的意思是“把東西放進(jìn)你的車?yán)?rdquo;。

So, if someone says, "I'm going to load up my car," "load" up, they mean they're going to put the things that they need to put into their car. 因此，如果有人說，“I'm going to load up my car”，他們是指“他們要把所需的東西放進(jìn)他們的車?yán)?rdquo;。

We often use that verb when we are talking about moving something in your car, or going on a trip. 當(dāng)我們談?wù)撘涯澄锇徇M(jìn)車?yán)锘蛞ヂ糜蔚臅r候，就經(jīng)常使用那個動詞。

"Just then my wife calls me on my cell phone. “就在這時，我妻子給我打了個電話。

She was going to be a little late" this evening. 今晚她要晚一點回家”。

She says she is not going to get home at her normal time, and so she "asks me to make something for dinner." 她說她不會在平時的那個點到家，因此她“叫我自己做晚餐吃”。

This is not a good idea since I am not a good cook, but I, of course, say yes. 這可不是個好主意，因為我廚藝不精，但我當(dāng)然會說可以。

"Tonight, I will be the cook" — the person making the food. “今晚，我要親自下廚”——烹調(diào)食物的人。
