在加油站

9

ATTENDANT: Can I help you, sir?

SAM: Yes, I've been sitting here for a few minutes.

I'm waiting for someone to put gas in my car.

ATTENDANT: I'm sorry, sir. But this is the self-service pump.

SAM: Self-service?

ATTENDANT: Yes. You must fill up the car yourself.

SAM: Are you serious?

ATTENDANT: Yes. Are you traveling here?

SAM: Yes, I'm from Taiwan. I never heard of a gas station where you fill up your own car.

ATTENDANT: In America, most gas stations are like this.

SAM: Do I really have to do it? I don't know how.

ATTENDANT: Well, since this is your first time, I will do it for you.

But next time, if you want a full-service gas station, you should look at the sign.

SAM: What sign?

ATTENDANT: Under the sign for the gas station,

there will be a smaller sign that says “Self-Serve” or “Full-Service.”

And some gas stations have both.

But if they have both, some pumps will be self-serve and some will be full-serve.

You have to look at the signs.

SAM: I see.

ATTENDANT: What kind of gas does this car take?

SAM: I don't know. It's a rental.

ATTENDANT: I will give you premium unleaded. Alright?

SAM: Sure, why not?

ATTENDANT: That is the pump you are in front of.

SAM: Is it expensive?

ATTENDANT: It is the most expensive.

SAM: Well, I don't want it then. Can I move to another pump?

ATTENDANT: Yes, I can give you regular unleaded. But you have to back up the car a little.

SAM: Give me regular unleaded then. I will back up.

Can you wash my windows for me?

ATTENDANT: I'm sorry, sir. This is not a full service gas station.

I will help you fill the gas, but we don't wash windows here.

SAM: Really? Well, I guess I have to get used to it.


 

加油站服务员:先生,需要服务吗?

山姆:我在这里等一阵子了。

我在这里等人帮我加油。

加油站服务员:先生,抱歉,这里是自助加油站。

山姆:自助?

加油站服务员:是的,你必须自己加油。

山姆:真的吗?

加油站服务员:是的,你是来旅游的吗?

山姆:是的,我从台湾来,我从未听说过需要自己加油的加油站。

加油站服务员:美国大部份的加油站都是自助的。

山姆:我真的必须自己来吗?我不知道怎么弄。

加油站服务员:既然你没弄过,那我先帮你好了。

下一次如果你想到服务加油站,应该注意一下招牌。

山姆:什么招牌?

加油站服务员:在加油站招牌底下,

有一个小标示写着“自助加油站”或“服务加油站”。

有些加油站两种都有。

如果是两种都有的,自助式和服务式的加油管道会分开。

你要看标示。

山姆:我懂了。

加油站服务员:这辆车加什么油?

山姆:我不知道,这是租来的。

加油站服务员:我给你加优质无铅汽油好吗?

山姆:好啊。

加油站服务员:你前面的加油管就是了。

山姆:很贵吗?

加油站服务员:这是最贵的。

山姆:那我不要这种,我可以换别的吗?

加油站服务员:那我给你加一般无铅汽油,但是你要把车后退一点。

山姆:那么给我一般无铅汽油好了,我后退。

你可以帮我洗一下窗户吗?

加油站服务员:先生,抱歉,这不是服务加油站。

我只能帮你加油,无法帮你洗窗户。

山姆:真的?我想我要慢慢习惯才是。
