大家好,又到了今天的学英语时间。天气越来越热了,开车也越来越麻烦……
Traffic jam(堵车,别不相信,奥克兰堵车很严重的)也就算了,还要顶着大太阳,忍受着越来越aggressive(挑衅的,咄咄逼人的)的司机,万一不小心来个accident(事故),真是driving me nuts(把人逼疯)!
最近,news.com.au有这样一篇报道,更是让人对有些渣司机充满了绝望……没错,今天就是来给大家负能量的……
Is this the worst driver ever?
这是世界上最渣的司机吗?
We all know it's common courtesy to leave a note with your contact details when you hit someone's car, but this note is next-level awful.
咱们都知道,撞了某人的车后,最基本的礼貌是留下一张字条,写上你的联系方式。但这张字条,简直是可怕中的可怕,将可怕推进了一个层次!
courtesy:n.礼貌
hit someone's car:撞到某人的车
next-level:将awful推进了一个层次,就是超级无敌可怕
The motorist returned to their vehicle to find a handwritten message.
(某天)一个司机来开车,发现车上有一张手写的字条。
motorist:司机,同义词有driver。driver是用动词加er/r成为的名词;motorist是用名词加ist成为的名词,类似的词还有scientist,guitarist
handwritten:动词的过去分词形式做形容词。
"I'm leaving this note because I accidentally backed into your car and some lady is watching me.
“我留这张字条,因为我倒车时不小心撞到了你的车,某位女士看到了。”
accidentally:意外地
back(the car):倒车
some lady:不是一些女士哦,不然lady需要变复数的ladies。这里的some是“某位”的意思

insurance information:保险信息
"Good luck and I'm not sorry about the huge dent."

The note has gone viral on Reddit, with users blasting the offender while offering tips on what to do if you witness a hit-and-run.
字条不出意外地在Reddit上火了,大家在骂渣司机的同时,还七嘴八舌地讨论目击肇事逃逸的话该咋办。

Sorry, Hunter. Some people just really suck.
不好意思,Hunter(车主)。有些人就是这么恶心。
