杰夫的一天 第61期：开车上班(2)

I open my car door and throw my briefcase in the back seat, and get comfortable for my drive. 我打开车门，把公文包扔到后座上，然后调整了一下，让我开车舒服一点。

I put my coffee mug into the cup holder, put the keys in the ignition, find the gas pedal, and start the car. 我把咖啡杯放在杯托上，将钥匙插入点火开关里，找到油门踏板、然后发动汽车。

My wife drove the car last night, so I have to re-adjust the rear view mirror and the side mirrors. 我妻子前一天晚上开过车，因此我得重新调整后视镜和侧视镜。

I turn on the radio to listen to the drive time traffic report. 我打开收音机收听上班高峰期的路况播报。

I take the transmission out of park and into reverse, back out into the driveway into the street, 我把车档由驻车档挂到倒车档，把汽车从车道倒到大街上，

close the garage door, and put the car into drive. 关上车库门，然后把车档挂到前进档。

I used to drive a stick shift, but as I get older, I like my automatic transmission more and more. 我过去常常开手动挡的车，但当我年龄大了以后，我则越来越喜欢开自动挡的车。

I usually take the freeway to the office, so I get on the onramp for the freeway and drive to where I have to get off. 我通常走高速上班，因此，我从匝道上高速，然后开到我得下高速的地方。

My office is only a few miles from the exit. 我的工作地离高速公路出口只有几英里远。

I pull into the parking garage, swiping my key card to get in. 我把车开到停车场，然后刷钥匙卡进停车场。

I park, grab my briefcase and coffee, and head toward the elevator. 我停好车，拿上公文包和咖啡，然后前往电梯处。

And that only took 40 minutes! 从家到工作地只花了40分钟!
