Mintons Car Mart剑桥雅思5-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、Mintons Car Mart听力原文：

MAN:Good morning,please take a seat.

How can I help you?

WOMAN:Well.

I'm thinking of buying a new car and I'd like some advice.

MAN:Sure,yes.

Had you got any particular make in mind?

WOMAN:I'm interested in a Lida-I've had one before and liked it.

But I haven't really made up my mind.

MAN:Sure.

We've got various models.

Umm,right.

What about the engine size?

Any ideas?

WOMAN:The one I've got at the moment’s a 1.2 litre engine but I find it a bit slow on long journeys.

I'd like a bit more power this time…

a 1.4 should do,I don't think I need a 1.6 or anything.

MAN:Right.

Well,I think the model you're looking at is the Max.

Here's a picture.

WOMAN:Oh,yes...

have you got one in?

MAN:Yes.

I'll take you to have a look at it in a minute.

I'll just get a few more details.

Er.

Is there anything else to do with the engine?

What kind of gear change do you want?

I presume you'd want a manual.

WOMAN:I'd want automatic-I've never driven a car with Manual gears.

MAN:Right.

Well now,here's the colour chart for the Max.

Have you given that any thought?

This blue's very popular at the moment.

WOMAN:Yes,it is nice,I like blue.

What's it called?

‘Royal’?

MAN:Yes.

WOMAN:But actually,I think I prefer this lighter shade here-'Sky'.

MAN:Yes,that's popular too.

WOMAN:I think I'll go for that.

MAN:You might have to wait a week or so for that colour,but I assume that'd be OK?

WOMAN:Oh yes,fine.

MAN:Well,we can go outside and you can have a good look at one,and perhaps take it out.

But first,can I just ask you about finance.

The cash price is going to be somewhere in the region of seven and a half thousand.

How would you like to pay?

Are you in a position to pay cash,or would you need credit?

WOMAN:I'd like credit provided the terms are reasonable.

MAN:Well you can discuss that with my colleague in a moment.

we have various arrangements.

And would you be interested in us taking your present car as part exchange?

WOMAN:Yes.

MAN:OK,fine.

So I'll just need some details from you and then we can do a valuation...

Is that OK?

WOMAN:Fine,yes.

MAN:Could I have your full name?

WOMAN:Wendy Harries,that's H-A-double R-I-E-S.

MAN:And is that Mr...Miss...Ms...?

WOMAN:It's Doctor,actually.

MAN:Oh,right.

And your address?

WOMAN:20 Green Banks.

MAN:Is that'Green'spelled as in the colour?

WOMAN:Yes,that's right.

MAN:OK.

WOMAN:Alton.

MAN:Is that O-L-T-O-N?

WOMAN:Not quite,it begins with an A,not an O.

MAN:Oh yes,that's in Hampshire isn't it?

WOMAN:That's right.

MAN:And do you know your postcode?

WOMAN:Yes.

It's GU89EW

MAN:Do you have a daytime phone number?

WOMAN:Well,I work at the hospital but it's a bit difficult to get hold of me.

I can give you a number just for messages,and then I'll get back to you when I can.

Is that OK?

MAN:That's fine.

WOMAN:It's O-7-9-8-2-5-7-6-4-3.

MAN:Fine.

And about the car you have now,what make is it?

WOMAN:It's a Conti.

MAN:Do you knew the year or the model name?

WOMAN:I think it's 1996,and it's called a Lion-like the animal.

MAN:Then it must be 1994,because they brought out the Fox after that.

WOMAN:Oh right,yes.

MAN:Mileage Roughly?

WOMAN:I'm not sure.

I know it's less than seventy thousand.

MAN:OK.

What colour is it?

WOMAN:It's grey,metallic grey.

MAN:Right,and one last thing-what sort of condition would you say it's in?

WOMAN:I'd probably describe it as reasonable.

Do you need to see it?

It’s parked outside.

MAN:Not at the moment,no.

Perhaps you could call in one day next week...
