A:Hold on, before you kick your car let’s go through some possible problems.

坚持下，在你踢车之前我们先仔细检查下一些可能存在的问题。

B:Fine.

好吧。

A:OK, first of all, can you turn the key in the ignition?

首先，你转动钥匙来点了吗?

B:Yeah! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor.

是的，我和朋友在一起，他认为可能是火花塞或起动电动机的问题。

A:Those are possible problems, but tell me, when you turn the key, do you hear the starter motor crank?

这些都可能存在问题。但是你先告诉我，当你转动钥匙时，你听到发动机转动了吗？

B:Yeah, it sounds like it usually does when I start the car, but nothing else happens. The engine won’t start. Should I maybe press the accelerator?

是的，声音挺起啦和平时发动车子时是一样的，但是车并没有发生什么。引擎并没有发哦那个，我应该踩油门吗？

不要。如果你踩油门，汽化器会出问题，车子就启动不了。

B:So what do you think it is?

你认为是什么问题？

A:I know this may seem like a silly question, but does your car have gasoline?
