S：I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?

我喜欢它!我以前一直想要一辆绿色的捷豹.这车的车况怎么样?

O：Yt looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again.

从外面看起来很不错,不过一面就大不一样了.再上路的话可能需要好好保养一下。

没错.自从我儿子一出生就没有理由再开这辆车了,要知道,毕竟它是两人座的!

养一辆车比你想象的要费钱得多,特别是有很多零件都不好用的时候。

你修好之后告诉我一声,我非常喜欢坐车兜风的感觉。
