★ 開車必懂的英文指示牌:

自駕旅遊最糟糕的是開到一半路程車沒油了,因此你要記得看一看車廂裏的汽油是否足夠。在美國自助加油很普遍,綠色的油槍是柴油(diesel),黑色的油槍是汽油。當然,你也可以讓加油員給你的車加滿油,但要會說加油時的一些英文表達哦。

Fuel man: May I help you, sir?

John: Yes. Fill it up, please.

Fuel man: What kind of gas do you want?

John:

I don’t really know. I have just bought this new car. And it’s the first time I’ve gotten gas for it.

Fuel man:

We have regular and premium gasoline. This is a new car, so I’d recommend premium.

John: Premium, please. Thanks.
