实用口语天天学 第170期:我无能为力
(Elaine waits impatiently at the next pump)
Attendant: Hello, miss. How much?
Elain: To the top, please. Quickly!
Attendant: What kind of gas would you like, 92 or 95?
Elain: 98. This car only takes 98.
Attendant: You're at the wrong pump then. The 98 pump is over there.
Elain: What!?! I just came from over there! Can't you do something?
Attendant: Sorry, miss, I can't turn water into wine. We'll have to go over there.
★ turn water into wine 表面上的字义是“化水为酒”，所以这个加油员是说他无法把92或95的汽油变成98的给伊莲
【参考译文】
(伊莲在下一个加油机前不耐烦地等着)
站员乙：哈啰，小姐。加多少？
伊 莲：加到满，拜托。快！
站员乙：你要加哪种油呢？92或95？
伊 莲：98。这车只能加98。
站员乙：那你可就找错加油机了。98的加油机在那里。
伊 莲：什么！？我才刚从那过来！你不能想想办法吗？
站员乙：很抱歉，小姐，我可没办法把清水变鸡汤。我们必须到那里去。
