这几天“奔驰漏油”事件再度发酵,引起了整个网络的关注。那么,提到汽车,大家都能想到car这个词。但是,以下这几个短语,你知道用英语怎么说吗?我们一起来学习一下吧!
车牌号license plate number

大到卡车,小到轿车,到现在连电动车都要求上车牌了。提到车牌号,有的同学会脱口而出”car number ”,这可是典型的中式英语啊!正确的表达方式为:license plate number.License means to give someone official permission to do or have something.License 意思是执照,许可证。车牌号的地道表达为license plate number.
例句
What's his license plate number?
他的车牌号是多少?
It's illegal to cover you license plate number when you are driving.
开车时覆盖掉车牌号是违法的。
驾照 Drivinglicense

给汽车加油fill up
大家应该都知道,“Add oil”作为“加油,鼓励”的意思,已经在2018年被收录进了《牛津英语词典》啦!以后这样用再不会被嘲笑是中式英语了!”那么真正意义上的“给汽车加油”应该怎么说呢?汽油在英语中为gas,gas tank 汽车油箱。加油在英语中有两种说法fill up means to make something full, 指填满、装满。可以直接用来表示加油的意思。

例句
Could you fill it up, please?请加满油,谢谢!
“加油站”在英国是petrol station, 在美国则是gas station.
I need to find a petrol station to fill up my car.
我要找加油站,汽车该加油了。
