Joe： Do you hire out vans? 你们有没有旅行车出租?

Clerk： Yes, sir. Ten people or six？ 有的，先生。十人座的还是六人座?

Joe： Six. 六人座。

Clerk： You're lucky, sir. We still have two spare vans. This is the high season, you know. Nearly ninety percent of our cars have been reserved. 您真幸运，先生。我们还剩下两辆旅行车。现在是旺季，您知道的。几乎百分之九十的车子都被预订了。

Joe： Can you let me take a look at the vans? 我能看一下旅行车吗?

Clerk： Sure. This way, please. 当然可以。这边请。

Joe： Are they in good condition? 车况很好吗?

Clerk： Certainly. Each one of our cars is in perfect condition. We don't allow even slight problems. When customers return them, we always have a thorough examination and give them good maintenance. It's our wish to provide our customers with good vehicles and good trips. 当然。 我们的车子每一辆的车况都很好。我们不容许车子有任何一点小毛病。客人把车子送回来的时候，我们都会帮车子做一次彻底的检查，同时做好保养工作。提供顾客好的交通工具及愉快的旅途是我们的心愿。

Joe： Nice saying, but I'd like to have a test drive. 说得好，不过我还是想试一下车，

Clerk： You're welcome to do so. Here are the keys. Which one would you like to try first? 欢迎试车。这是钥匙。您要先试那一辆?

Joe： This one. (They get in the first car, drive around two blocks and then come back.) Not bad. The seats are comfortable as well. 这一辆。 (他们坐进第一辆车，开了两条街之后回来。) 不赖嘛。座椅也很舒服。

Clerk： Should we try the other one? 要不要试另外一辆?

Joe： No, I don't think so. This one is all right. How much is the rent for this one? I'll hire it for this weekend, from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. 我想不用了。这一辆就可以了。这辆车的租金是冬少?我这个周要用，从星期五下午到星期日晚上。

Clerk： Thirty-five dollars each day！ Now please fill in this form, and give me a deposit. You can come for the van anytime on Friday. 一天三十五元。请您填好这扮表格，给我订金。星期五您随时可以来开车子。
