《Cool Cars》

Cars are really handy

for getting us around.

They whizz about on busy roads

and make a zoomy sound.

汽车真的很方便我们四处走动。

他们在繁忙的路上呼啸而过，

发出一种震耳欲聋的声音。

Cars can come in many shapes,

in sizes large or tiny.

Here's a little mini car and

one that's big and shiny.

汽车可以有很多种形状，有大有小。

这里有一辆小型汽车和一辆又大又亮的。

A car must have a driver,

to make it start and go.

The roads are full of many things

a driver needs to know.

汽车必须有一个驾驶员，才能启动和行驶。

道路上有许多驾驶员需要知道的事情。

Traffic lights,road markings,

signs along the way

you have to read them quickly,

and do the things they say.

交通信号灯、路标，

你必须快速读懂它们，并按它们所说的做。

The steering wheel directs the car

and turns it left or right.

The mirrors help to keep

the other traffic well in sight.

方向盘引导汽车左右转弯.

后视镜有助于保持其他车辆在你的视线之内。

You use your feet to press

the pedals down upon the floor.

One stops the car completely,

one makes it speed up more.

你用脚把踏板踩在地板上.

一个使汽车完全停止，另一个使汽车加速。

To keep your car in good condition,

give it proper care.

Check the oil,top it up,

and pump the tyres with air.

为了让你的车保持良好的状态，要小心。

检查汽油，加满油，给轮胎打气。

Fill its tank with fuel,

then drive it through the wash.

The wipers clear the windscreen

with a swishy,swishy,swash!

把油箱加满油，然后开车通过洗车场。

雨刮器要用特别干净的水清洗挡风玻璃！

Convertibles are really great

for driving in the sun.

The top folds down or comes right off.

It makes the drive more fun.

敞篷车非常适合在阳光下驾驶。

顶部向下折叠或立即脱落。

它使驾驶更有趣。

If you're driving off the road,

on ground that's really rough,

a sturdy four-wheel drive is best,

with tyres thick and tough.

如果你在在非常崎岖的路面上行驶，

坚固的四轮驱动是最好的，轮胎又厚又硬。

Some cars are built for racing.

They zip along so fast.

It’s noisy and exciting

as they all go roaring past.

有些汽车是为比赛而造的。

它们跑得太快了。

当它们都呼啸而过的时候，

这是喧闹和令人兴奋的。

Police cars have a siren

and beacon lights that flash,

to show they're chasing criminals

or helping at a crash.

警车上有警笛和信号灯闪烁，

那说明他们在追捕罪犯或者处理交通事故。

Some cars are really fancy,

like gleaming limousines.

They're used to carry movie stars

and presidents and queens.

有些汽车真的很豪华，

像闪闪发光的豪华轿车。

他们被用来接送电影明星、总统和皇后。

But anyone who's out in town,

and needs to take a ride,

can hail a passing taxicab

and quickly jump inside.

但任何一个在城里需要搭车的人，

都可以叫一辆经过的出租车，

然后迅速钻进去。

Cars are really popular

for getting us about,

so sometimes there's a traffic jam,

and cars just can't get out.

汽车真的很普遍，

所以有时交通堵塞，很难开出去。

But when the roads are clear

and the weather's fine and bright,

a journey in the country

can fill us with delight.

但是，当道路通畅，天气晴朗的时候，

一次乡村之旅会让我们开心一整天。

We've packed a yummy picnic.

It's a lovely sunny day.

Let's buckle up our safety belts

and then we're on our way.

我们准备了一次美味的野餐。

今天阳光明媚。

我们系好安全带，然后出发。
