Mario: Do you want to go with me to test drive a car I’m thinking of buying?
馬里奧:你想和我一起去試駕我想買(mǎi)的那輛車(chē)嗎?
Danica: Sure. Which dealership are we going to?
達(dá)妮卡:當(dāng)然,我們要去哪家經(jīng)銷商那買(mǎi)呢?
Mario: I’m not buying a used car from a dealership. I’m buying it from a private party. Dealerships rip you off.
馬里奧:我不打算從經(jīng)銷商那里買(mǎi)二手車(chē),我打算在一個(gè)私人派對(duì)上買(mǎi),經(jīng)銷商肯定會(huì)敲詐你的。
Danica: Are you sure about that? My sister bought a certified used car from a dealership and she even got a one-year warranty. She’s very happy with it.
達(dá)妮卡:你確定嗎?我姐姐從一個(gè)經(jīng)銷商那里買(mǎi)了一輛有保障的二手車(chē),甚至還保修一年呢,她很滿意。
Mario: Dealerships jack up the price. Buying from a private party means getting a better deal.
馬里奧:商品經(jīng)銷商就會(huì)哄抬價(jià)格,從私人派對(duì)上買(mǎi)會(huì)更便宜。
Danica: If you say so. What kind of car is it, and how much is the owner asking for it?
達(dá)妮卡:如果你這么說(shuō),那是什么車(chē)呢,然后車(chē)主向你要多少錢(qián)呢?
Mario: It’s a McQ Racer and the owner is asking $12,000, $3,000 below blue book value.
馬里奧:是McQ跑車(chē),車(chē)主要價(jià)一萬(wàn)二千美元,比藍(lán)皮書(shū)上的標(biāo)價(jià)少三千美元。
Danica: That is a good price. In fact, that’s too good a price. Doesn’t that raise some red flags?
達(dá)妮卡:這價(jià)格很便宜,事實(shí)上,這太便宜了,難道這不意味著里面有問(wèn)題嗎?
Mario: Like what?
馬里奧:比如?
Danica: Well, the car could be have been totaled and is now considered salvage. Its odometer could have been rolled back. It could have major mechanical problems...
達(dá)妮卡:嗯,車(chē)可能已經(jīng)毀壞了,需要修理,它的里程表可能會(huì)回滾,可能存在重大機(jī)械問(wèn)題……
Mario: You can be skeptical, but I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth. If this guy wants to sell his car for much less than its value, who am I to ask questions?
馬里奧:這只是你的猜測(cè)而已,我不會(huì)對(duì)別人給出的優(yōu)惠再吹毛求疵。如果這家伙真想以低價(jià)甩賣(mài),我去問(wèn)誰(shuí)?
Danica: You’ll do a title search and ask to see the pink slip before you buy it, right?
達(dá)妮卡:你可以再調(diào)查調(diào)查,買(mǎi)之前要求看一下執(zhí)照,對(duì)吧?
Mario: I think you’d better stay here. With you along, I see this great deal going up in smoke!
馬里奧:我看你還是呆在這,別去了。有你在這,這么好的交易肯定要泡湯。
Danica: Sure. Which dealership are we going to?
Mario: I’m not buying a used car from a dealership. I’m buying it from a private party. Dealerships rip you off.
Danica: Are you sure about that? My sister bought a certified used car from a dealership and she even got a one-year warranty. She’s very happy with it.
