Larry的车子正在厂里修理。今天李华陪他去取车。李华会学到两个常用语:grease monkey和fender bender。
LL: I hope my car is ready. The grease monkey said it would be fixed by 3:00 this afternoon.
LH: The grease monkey? Larry,你的车不是送到修车厂了吗?修车厂怎么会有猴子呢?
LL: (Laugh) No, there aren't any monkeys like the monkeys in the zoo. Grease monkey is a slang term for auto mechanic.
LH: 你们把汽车修理工叫grease monkey?真有意思。所以你是说,修车的工人告诉你,车子在3点以前会修好。
LL: Right, but I doubt it will be ready. Every time a grease monkey tells my car will be ready, he's wrong. <
