這幾天“奔馳漏油”事件再度發(fā)酵,引起了整個網(wǎng)絡(luò)的關(guān)注。那么,提到汽車,大家都能想到car這個詞。但是,以下這幾個短語,你知道用英語怎么說嗎?我們一起來學(xué)習(xí)一下吧!
車牌號license plate number
大到卡車,小到轎車,到現(xiàn)在連電動車都要求上車牌了。提到車牌號,有的同學(xué)會脫口而出”car number ”,這可是典型的中式英語啊!正確的表達(dá)方式為:license plate number.License means to give someone official permission to do or have something.License 意思是執(zhí)照,許可證。車牌號的地道表達(dá)為license plate number.
例句
What's his license plate number?
他的車牌號是多少?
It's illegal to cover you license plate number when you are driving.
開車時(shí)覆蓋掉車牌號是違法的。
駕照 Drivinglicense
例句
It's really difficuly to a get a driver's license.
考駕照真得好難。
Please check if your driver's license is about to expire.
請查詢一下,你的駕照是否馬上要過期了。
給汽車加油fill up
大家應(yīng)該都知道,“Add oil”作為“加油,鼓勵”的意思,已經(jīng)在2018年被收錄進(jìn)了《牛津英語詞典》啦!以后這樣用再不會被嘲笑是中式英語了!”那么真正意義上的“給汽車加油”應(yīng)該怎么說呢?汽油在英語中為gas,gas tank 汽車油箱。加油在英語中有兩種說法fill up means to make something full, 指填滿、裝滿??梢灾苯佑脕肀硎炯佑偷囊馑?。
例句
Could you fill it up, please?請加滿油,謝謝!
“加油站”在英國是petrol station, 在美國則是gas station.
I need to find a petrol station to fill up my car.
我要找加油站,汽車該加油了。
Refuel means to put more fuel into an aircraft, ship and cars so that it can continue its journey.
Refuel 也可表示加油,經(jīng)常指給飛機(jī),輪船或者汽車加油。
He had to stop this car on the way to refuel.
他不得不在半路停下車加油。
