Three Engineers
There were three engineers riding along in a car.
They were an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer and a computer engineer.
Suddenly, the car broke down.
The electrical engineer said, "Maybe it's a dead battery."
The mechanical engineer said,"Maybe the fan belt broke."
The computer engineer said,"Let's close all the windows,open them again,and see if that fixes it."
1.There were three engineers riding along in a car.
有3个工程师坐在一辆汽车里。
"ride"可以表示“骑(机动车、自行车)”或“骑马”,也可以表示“搭乘(交通工具)。这里的along不要和alone(单独地)弄混了,两者发音、字形相似,但意思完全不同。
engineer [ˌendʒɪˈnɪə(r)] n.工程师
2.They were an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer and a computer engineer.
他们一个是电机工程师,一个是机械工程师、还有一个是电脑工程师,
electrical [ɪˈlektrɪkl] adj. 有关电气的
mechanical [məˈkænɪkl] adj. 机械的
3.Suddenly, the car broke down.
突然,车子抛锚了。
suddenly [ˈsʌdənli] adv.突然地
break down 抛锚
4.The electrical engineer said, "Maybe it's a dead battery."
电机工程师说:“也许是电池没电了。”
battery [ˈbætri] n.电地
5.The mechanical engineer said,"Maybe the fan belt broke."
机械工程师说:“也许风扇带坏了。”
maybe和perhaps都是表示“可能;也许”,但是一般日常生活口语中多用前者,正式场合或书面用语则应使用后者。它们通常都放在句首。
6.The computer engineer said,"Let's close all the windows,open them again,and see if that fixes it."
电脑工程师说:“我们关掉所有的窗户,再打开,看看是否能修好它。”
每当电脑死机或有异常时,通常会关掉所有的视窗 (windows)或重新启动.电脑工程师也用相同的模式来处理他所面临的问题。殊不知,此windows非彼windows。
window [ˈwɪndəʊ] n.窗户;电脑视窗
