《Cool Cars》
Cars are really handy
for getting us around.
They whizz about on busy roads
and make a zoomy sound.
汽車真的很方便我們四處走動。
他們在繁忙的路上呼嘯而過，
發出一種震耳欲聾的聲音。
Cars can come in many shapes,
in sizes large or tiny.
Here's a little mini car and
one that's big and shiny.
汽車可以有很多種形狀，有大有小。
這裡有一輛小型汽車和一輛又大又亮的。
A car must have a driver,
to make it start and go.
The roads are full of many things
a driver needs to know.
汽車必須有一個駕駛員，才能啟動和行駛。
道路上有許多駕駛員需要知道的事情。
Traffic lights,road markings,
signs along the way
you have to read them quickly,
and do the things they say.
交通信號燈、路標，
你必須快速讀懂它們，並按它們所說的做。
The steering wheel directs the car
and turns it left or right.
The mirrors help to keep
the other traffic well in sight.
方向盤引導汽車左右轉彎.
後視鏡有助於保持其他車輛在你的視線之內。
You use your feet to press
the pedals down upon the floor.
One stops the car completely,
one makes it speed up more.
你用腳把踏板踩在地板上.
一個使汽車完全停止，另一個使汽車加速。
To keep your car in good condition,
give it proper care.
Check the oil,top it up,
and pump the tyres with air.
為了讓你的車保持良好的狀態，要小心。
檢查汽油，加滿油，給輪胎打氣。
Fill its tank with fuel,
then drive it through the wash.
The wipers clear the windscreen
with a swishy,swishy,swash!
把油箱加滿油，然後開車通過洗車場。
雨刮器要用特別乾淨的水清洗擋風玻璃！
Convertibles are really great
for driving in the sun.
The top folds down or comes right off.
It makes the drive more fun.
敞篷車非常適合在陽光下駕駛。
頂部向下摺疊或立即脫落。
它使駕駛更有趣。
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.
如果你在在非常崎嶇的路面上行駛，
堅固的四輪驅動是最好的，輪胎又厚又硬。
Some cars are built for racing.
They zip along so fast.
It’s noisy and exciting
as they all go roaring past.
有些汽車是為比賽而造的。
它們跑得太快了。
當它們都呼嘯而過的時候，
這是喧鬧和令人興奮的。
Police cars have a siren
and beacon lights that flash,
to show they're chasing criminals
or helping at a crash.
警車上有警笛和信號燈閃爍，
那說明他們在追捕罪犯或者處理交通事故。
Some cars are really fancy,
like gleaming limousines.
They're used to carry movie stars
and presidents and queens.
有些汽車真的很豪華，
像閃閃發光的豪華轎車。
他們被用來接送電影明星、總統和皇后。
But anyone who's out in town,
and needs to take a ride,
can hail a passing taxicab
and quickly jump inside.
但任何一個在城裡需要搭車的人，
都可以叫一輛經過的出租車，
然後迅速鑽進去。
Cars are really popular
for getting us about,
so sometimes there's a traffic jam,
and cars just can't get out.
汽車真的很普遍，
所以有時交通堵塞，很難開出去。
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，當道路通暢，天氣晴朗的時候，
一次鄉村之旅會讓我們開心一整天。
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.
我們準備了一次美味的野餐。
今天陽光明媚。
我們繫好安全帶，然後出發。
