Larry和李华要开车去一个国家公园，他们先到加油站给汽车加油。李华今天会学到两个常用语，gas guzzler（很费油的汽车）和tree hugger（喜爱自然的人或是致力与环境保护的人士）。
只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分，中文对话部分（包括里面个别的英语词组）不需要听写！！
今天开始流行美语开始改版~~~早晚8点各更新一次，两期是一篇完整的音频~~谢谢大家支持

I can't believe the price of gas these days! I am going to have to get rid of this gas guzzler.
"To guzzle something" is to drink it really fast. A gas guzzler refers to a car that gets very poor gas mileage and constantly needs to be filled up.
That's right. And looking at the price on the gas pump, I am not too happy to be driving a gas guzzler right now.
Well, about 25 miles to the gallon on the highway, but only 18 miles per gallon driving around town. It isn't the worst gas guzzler out there, but I could be driving something more fuel efficient.
Well, I know there are cars on the market that get as much as 40 miles to the gallon, but they tend to be smaller cars. Bigger cars tend to be gas guzzlers, and I wanted a bigger car.
I think there will always be people who have the money to afford the gas and want to have a big gas guzzler to drive around.
There! The tank of this gas guzzler is finally full. After I pay the gas attendant, we can get on the road.LL: I can't believe the price of gas these days! I am going to have to get rid of this gas guzzler.
LH: 我知道，我到美国来以后就从来没有见过这么高的的汽油价钱。可是，Larry, 你要扔掉什么？Gas guzzler是什么呀？
LL: "To guzzle something" is to drink it really fast. A gas guzzler refers to a car that gets very poor gas mileage and constantly needs to be filled up.
LH: 我明白了。Guzzle就是口渴的时候大口大口地喝水。你是说你的车耗油太多，大口大口地喝油。A gas guzzler就是耗油量很大的汽车。
LL: That's right. And looking at the price on the gas pump, I am not too happy to be driving a gas guzzler right now.
LH: 好多人都有你这样的想法。油价这么高，还开耗油的车，花钱多了，当然不高兴啦。对了，你这个gas guzzler每加仑汽油能跑多少里路啊？
LL: Well, about 25 miles to the gallon on the highway, but only 18 miles per gallon driving around town. It isn't the worst gas guzzler out there, but I could be driving something more fuel efficient.
LH: 在高速公路上开每加仑25英里，在城市里只能开18英里！ 比我的车要费油多了。你是该换一辆省油的车了。
LL: Well, I know there are cars on the market that get as much as 40 miles to the gallon, but they tend to be smaller cars. Bigger cars tend to be gas guzzlers, and I wanted a bigger car.
LH: 当然啦，省油的车一般都是小型的车，大车都是耗油的。你喜欢开大车，那就得多花钱。Larry，现在耗油量大的汽车一定卖不动了吧？
LL: I think there will always be people who have the money to afford the gas and want to have a big gas guzzler to drive around.
LH: 没错，就像你这样爱开大车的人总是有的。Larry, 这就叫愿者上钩。不过，有的人有钱，你是穷学生。我还是喜欢开小车，省油省钱，还有利于保护环境。
LL: There! The tank of this gas guzzler is finally full. After I pay the gas attendant, we can get on the road.
LH: 油加满啦？快去付钱，完了我们就可以上路了。太棒了，我早就想去国家公园痛痛快快地玩一天。 |
