Parallel Parking: My Driving Lesson Goes Wrong

Okay, are you ready for today's lesson?

好，今天的課準備好了嗎？

Well... not really. What are we doing today?

嗯……其實還沒有。我們今天要練什麼？

Today we're going to practice parallel parking.

今天我們練習路邊停車。

Oh no. That's the one I've been dreading!

喔不，這正是我最怕的！

Don't worry, we'll take it slowly, step by step.

別擔心，我們慢慢來，一步一步。

See that gap between the blue car and the van?

看到那台藍色轎車跟廂型車中間的空位了嗎？

That tiny gap? There's no way I'll fit in there!

那麼小的空位？我絕對停不進去！

It's bigger than it looks. Pull up next to the van.

比看起來大。開到廂型車旁邊停下。

Okay, let's go... slowly backward...

好，開始……慢慢往後倒……

Wait, why are we going forward?

等等，怎麼往前開了？

You're still in drive. Hit the brake!

你還打在前進檔。踩煞車！

Ugh, sorry! I'm so nervous today.

唉，對不起！我今天好緊張。

Okay, reverse this time... I'm turning the wheel now...

好，這次打倒車檔……我開始轉方向盤了……

Careful, you're getting too close to the curb!

小心，你太靠近路邊了！

Oh no, I hit it! I always do this!

喔不，撞到了！我每次都這樣！

Honestly... I'm never going to pass my test.

說真的……我永遠都考不過了。

Hey, everybody hits the curb at first. Even me.

嘿，一開始大家都會撞到路邊。我也是。

Let me show you a little trick.

我教你一個小訣竅。

Line up your back window with the van's back bumper.

把你的後車窗對齊廂型車的後保險桿。

Then turn the wheel all the way to the right.

然後把方向盤往右打到底。

As soon as I see the bumper in my window?

一看到車窗裡出現保險桿就打嗎？

Exactly. And when the car's at an angle, straighten up.

沒錯。等車身斜過來，再回正。

Oh, that sounds much easier than what I was doing!

喔，聽起來比我剛才那樣簡單多了！

Okay, here goes! Window, bumper... turn now!

好，來了！車窗，保險桿……現在打！

Good, good. Now straighten the wheel. Stop there.

好，好。現在回正方向盤。停在那裡。

Wait... did I actually do it?

等等……我真的做到了？

Look out the window. You're perfectly parked!

看看窗外。你停得超完美！

Wow, I can't believe it! Can we do it again?

哇，我不敢相信！可以再來一次嗎？

Ha, of course. Let's do it three more times.

哈，當然。我們再來三次。
