第九周：星期四　Traffic Accident 车祸

A：Do you remember how it happened?

B：I was walking along the road when the car came from the corner. It was so fast that the driver didn't see me. Then it hit me and went away.

A：What's the number of the car do you remember?

B：Er, it is 5065. Yes，5065.

A：Do you remember anything else about the car?

B：Oh, its color is black.

A：Something else?

B：Nothing.

A：OK, we will call you as soon as we find him.

B：Thank you for your help.

A：你记得这是怎么发生的吗?

B：那辆车从转弯处开过来的时候，我正沿着公路步行。我想是车开得太快了，以至于司机没有看见我，然后撞了我，并且逃跑了。

A：你记得车牌号是多少吗?

B：嗯，是5065。是的，是5065。

A：你还记得那辆车的其他信息吗?

B：噢，车的颜色是黑的。

A：其他的呢?

B：没有了。

A：好的，我们一找到那辆车就会通知你。

B：谢谢你的帮助。

A：Star Rent Car. May I help you?

B：I have bad news.

A：Yes?

B：I was rear-ended just now on Highway 23, and it made a little dent in the bumper.

A：There's really no need to worry as you have accident liability coverage. Just call the police and get a copy of the report.

B：Yes, it's 5232002, right?

A：That's it. You can exchange your car at our nearest office.

B：I'll do that. Thank you very much.

A：明星汽车出租公司。需要帮忙吗?

B：有个坏消息。

A：怎么了?

B：刚才在23号公路上我的车尾被撞了一下，保险杠也凹下去了一点儿。

A：您不必担心，因为您保了事故责任险。只要打电话给警察，再拿一份事故调查报告就可以了。

B：好的，电话号码是5232002，是不?

A：是的。您可以到我们公司最近的办事处来换一辆车。

B：我会的。非常感谢。

A：Stop, sir. Can you show me your driving license, please?

B：Why?

A：Because you knocked down a person at the previous crossroad. Before my fellow policeman tried to hand-stop you, you fled. What's more, you may be drunk-driving.

B：How do you know that?

A：I've noticed you driving zigzag and now your breath smells of alcohol.

B：But I didn't know I had knocked down a person.

A：You have to be fined and your driving license will be suspended for your drunk driving and for a hit and run.

B：Don't you think you've punished me too seriously?

A：No, I've done so just according to the regulations.

A：停车，先生。请出示下你的驾驶证，好吗?

B：为什么叫我停车?

A：因为你在前一个十字路口撞倒了一位路人。我的同事还来不及用手势让你停车，你就跑了。再者，你可能喝酒了。

B：你怎么知道的?

A：我看到你歪歪斜斜地开车，又闻到了你呼出的酒气。

B：但我不知道我撞倒了人。

A：由于你酒后驾车、撞倒行人，你必须受到罚款和吊销驾驶证的处罚。

B：难道你不认为你的处罚太重了吗?

A：不，我是按照规章办事。

A：Are you all right, sir?

B：Yes, I think so.

A：What happened here?

B：Well, I tried to come to a stop at the intersection, but the car slid on the ice. The next thing I knew, I was in the ditch.

A：Was anyone else here at the time?

B：No, just me.

A：And how fast would you say you were traveling at the time?

B：Not more than 40 miles per hour, I suppose.

A：The speed limit here is 30 miles per hour. You should have been a bit more cautious. Icy roads can be dangerous.

B：Yes, you're right. I'm sorry.

A：At least no one was hurt. I'll call you a tow truck.

A：你没事儿吧，先生?

B：嗯，我想是没事。

A：出了什么事儿?

B：哦，我想在十字路口停下来，可是汽车在结冰的路上打滑了。后面的事儿，我只知道我在沟里了。

A：当时还有其他人在场吗?

B：没有，只有我一个人。

A：当时你的车速是多少?

B：我估计没有超过40英里每小时。

A：这里限速30英里每小时。你应该更小心一点儿，结冰路面很危险。

B：是的，您说的对。实在抱歉。

A：还好没伤人。我帮你叫辆拖车。
