车子在沟渠里被困住了该怎么办

来听今天的讲解:

A: What are we going to do? I can't get the car out of this ditch. I'm stuck!

该怎么办？车子无法离开这个沟渠，我被困住了。

B: I'm worried, Tom. I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour.

我好担心，我已经快一小时没看到其他车子了。

A: I know. This is terrible. What can we do? This snow doesn't stop falling!

我知道，这很糟糕。怎么办呢？雪一直下个不停。

B: I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here?

我告诉过你今天应该待在城里的。气象报告说百分之百会下雪。为什么你想上来这里？

A: I wanted to show you the cabin. We only had another half-hour to go.

我想让你看看小木屋，我们再走半小时就到了。

B: Well, now we're stuck. What can we do?

现在被困住了，怎么办呢？

A: I don't know.

我不知道。

B: I've heard that when this happens, it's important to save energy.

我听过这种事情发生时，节省能源很重要。

A: What do you mean?

怎么说呢？

B: We're stranded here, Tom. We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car. The car's energy is what will keep us warm.

我们被困在这里了，可能会很久。我们需要保存车子的汽油，车子的能量会让我们保持暖和。

A: I have plenty of gas.

我还有很多汽油。

B: Yes, but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do, it will die soon. Then we'll freeze.

是的，但是汽油和电池都还在消耗中，我们不能让车子一直发动下去。如果这样做的话，车子很快就会熄火，然后我们就会冻僵。

A: So what can we do?

那么我们怎么办呢？

B: Turn the lights off.Then, run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible.

把灯关掉，然后每小时发动车子和开暖气十五分钟。那样才会尽可能维持热度。

A: Alright. That's a good idea.

好的，好主意。

B: I wish we hadn't come up here. Now we'll probably be here for days.

我真希望我们没上来，现在可能会待在这里好几天。

A: Days?

好几天？

B: Yes, it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms. People get stranded for days.

没错，这发生过。大的暴风雪中会发生这种事，人会被困上好几天。

A: Oh, my God! It's good we have food.

喔，天啊！还好我们有吃的。

B: Probably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes. Then we'll turn it on again.

我们可能还能存活。不过先关掉车子约四十五分钟，然后再发动。

A: Okay, I'll follow your advice.

好，我照你的话做。
