我们先来侃一侃“共享单车”和“单车共享”。 大家要知道,“共享单车”和“单车共享”是两个不同的概念,“共享单车”指的是具有共享性质的自行车,而“单车共享”一般说的是共享单车这种状态、现象。 所以在英语表达上,也会有所不同: “共享单车”的英语表达是“shared bikes”,“shared”在这里是过去分词,指的就是“被分享的单车”,也就是“共享单车”。 Many people are riding shared bikes in the street. 街上好多人都在骑共享单车。 而“单车共享”的英文是“bike-sharing”,“sharing”是“share”的动名词形式,表示“共享”,“bike-sharing”也就说的是“单车共享”这种现象。 Bike-sharing is booming in China. 单车共享在中国非常火。 “拼车”英语怎么说? “共享单车”的英文是“shared bikes”,那“拼车”是不是也可以说是“share a car”呢?“share a car”一般含有你和他人共同拥有这辆车的意思,如果你要这么说,恐怕车主第一个不答应。那“拼车”到底用英语怎么表达? 英语中有个超级地道的说法--“carpool”,动词,专指“拼车出行”。 It's convenient to carpool with my neighbors to take our children to school. 我和邻居拼车送孩子上学很方便也很省时。 Carpooling can save travel expenses. 拼车可以节省旅行费用。 关于这几个表达,大家以后一定要区分清楚咯。 普特君还想问大家个问题,你们有没有拿到驾照呢?因为接下来,普特君要跟大家分享一些开车时经常用到的英语表达,作为老司机的你,知多少呢? Buckle up:系好(安全带) A sign just ahead of me said, Buckle Up. It's the Law. 我面前的一个牌子上写着:扣好安全带。这是法律规定。 Slow down:减速 If the vehicle is going too fast, a synthesised voice tells the driver to slow down. 如果车开得太快,会有一个合成人声告诉司机减速。 Speed up/accelerate:加速 He pushed a lever that speeded up the car. 他挂挡加快了速度。 Suddenly the car accelerated. 汽车突然加速。 注意:'speed up'和'accelerate'差不多是一个意思,都是加速的意思,但是去掉'up'只用'speed'的话,就变成了超速的意思。 This man was not qualified to drive and was speeding. 这名男子没有驾驶资格,并且违章超速行驶。 Pull over:靠边停车 Police pulled over his Mercedes near Dieppe. 警察在迪耶普附近让他将自己的梅赛德斯车停靠路边。 Pick up:接载 We drove to the airport the next morning to pick up Susan 我们第二天早晨开车去机场接苏姗。 Brake/Hit the brakes:刹车 She braked sharply to avoid another car. 她为了躲另一辆车而紧急刹车。 She hit the brakes too late and the car skidded. 她刹车太迟,车打滑了。 Back up:倒车 He backed up a few feet and rolled the window down 他往后倒了几英尺,然后摇下车窗。 Make a turn:转弯 We must make a turn at the next street. 我们必须在下一个街口调转车头。 拓展:make a left/right turn:向左/右转弯;make a u-turn:掉头 Run a red light:闯红灯 If we observe someone run a red light, we should stop him. 如果我们看到有人闯红灯,我们应该阻止他。 Go for a ride/take a road trip:去兜风 Would you like to go for a ride? 你想出去兜风吗?
