A: Car trouble center. How may I help you?
B: My car won’t start! Stupid old car!
A: Hold on, before you kick your car let’s go through some possible problems.
B: Fine.
A: OK, first of all, can you turn the key in the ignition?
B: Yeah! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor.
A: Those are possible problems, but tell me, when you turn the key, do you hear the starter motor crank?
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?
A: No. If you step on the accelerator pedal you can flood the carburetor and your car will never start.
B: So what do you think it is?
A: I know this may seem like a silly question, but does your car have gasoline?
B: Umm. yeah! Right! I got the car started! Thanks for your help! I told you to fill the tank!

A: 汽车修理中心，你需要什么帮助?
B: 我的车启动不了。真是破车。
A: 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: 好吧。
A: 首先，你转动钥匙来点了吗?
B: 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: 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: 是的，声音挺起啦和平时发东车子时是一样的，但是车并没有发哦那个。引擎并没有发哦那个，我应该踩油门吗?
A: 不要。如果你踩油门，汽化器会出问题，车子就启动不了。
B: 你认为是什么问题?
A: 我知道这听起来很愚蠢，暗示你的车还有油吗?
B: 是的，车发动起来了。谢谢你的帮助。我曾让你加油的。
