MR. WOOD: I brought it here three days ago.
ATTENDANT: Ah, yes, I remember now.
MR. WOOD: Have your mechanics finished yet?
ATTENDANT: No, they&`&re still working on it.
Let&`&s go into the garage and have a look at it.
ATTENDANT: Isn&`&t that your car?
MR. WOOD: Well, it was my car.
ATTENDANT: Didn&`&t you have a crash?
MR. WOOD: That&`&s right. I drove it into a lamp-post.
Can your mechanics repair it?

But to tell you the truth. you need a new car!
伍德先生:我的汽车修好了吗?
服 务 员:我不知道,先生。您的汽车牌号是多少?
伍德先生:是 LFZ312G。
服 务 员:您什么时候送来的?
伍德先生:3天前。
服 务 员:啊,是的,我现在记起来了。
伍德先生:你们的机械师修好了吗?
服 务员:没有,他们还在修呢。我们到车库去看一下吧。
服 务 员:这难道不是您的车吗?
伍德先生:唔,这曾是我的车。
服 务 员:难说您没有出车祸吗?
伍德先生:是啊。我把汽车撞在电线杆上了。
你们的机械师能修好吗?
服 务 员:啊,他们正设法修呢,先生。
不过说实在的,您需要一辆新车了。
