Chris看中了一款車，徵求Jason的意思。Jason說，車外觀還是挺有形的，但就是有點小。Chris覺得，小點沒關係，因爲他們就三口人，a family of three, 小點也夠用了。Jason說，這款車引擎是1.3公升的，省油，是優點。Chris承認，這也是他看中這款車的原因之一，It gets good gas mileage and overall has good value. 意思是說這輛車油耗低，總體上說很划算。Jason大發感慨，說自己年輕那會兒買車就是爲了馬力，時尚，如今大家考慮的卻都是實用和省錢。J: Have you considered getting a secondhand car?C: My wife rejected that idea. She says that you never know if the car dealer is unscrupulous. ---2---.J: She makes some good points.

You do the math. 咱們的工資買不起那棟房，你自己算算吧。在顏色選擇上，Chris說，藍色是自己的幸運色，而太太覺得黑色經髒。Jason最後說，I'd love to check out your new car! 買了新車別忘了給我看看。padding-bottom: 56.25%;">That's one of the reasons I'm considering this oneThe car could be water damaged or could have been involved in an accidentMy wife says we should consider black because it doesn't look dirty so quickly1. 這是我考慮這輛車的原因。2. 這輛車可能遭受過水損壞或者出過車禍。3. 我老婆說黑色可能更耐髒點。——譯文來自: ausko這篇材料你能聽出多少？點擊這裏做聽寫，提高外語水平>>
