NICK: I like the Honda Accord¹ you showed me before.
I think it's more practical for my needs.
JOHN: Alright, sir. You are making a good choice.
Honda has made a lot of design improvements² in the new Accord.
NICK: What does it come with standard?
JOHN: On all our new cars, the standards include:
air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, air bags, and an AM/FM stereo³ with a CD player.
But on the Accord, there is another standard item as well.
The Accord comes with cruise⁴ control.
NICK: Cruise control? I don't like that.
JOHN: Why not, sir?
NICK: I think it's dangerous. What if I can't turn it off?
JOHN: Well, sir, I know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control.
But Honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction⁵ that led to an accident.
NICK: I wish it didn't have cruise control. My wife doesn't like it either.
JOHN: You know, sir, you don't have to use it.
You can turn it on or off. If you don't want to use it, you just never turn it on.
NICK: I suppose. And what about the sunroof? Is that standard?
JOHN: No, the sunroof is optional⁶, sir.
NICK: I see. Another important question is the time I can get this car.
I need a new car rather soon.
JOHN: Well, I can say that the new models will be here in August.
If you order one now, we will have it for you in August.
NICK: That's good enough, I think. What colors does the new Accord come in?
JOHN: We have this new model in red, white, black, or silver.
These are the standard colors.
Of course you could specially⁷ order from various other colors too.
NICK: My brother has last year's Accord.
And his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver.
I really like that color. I wonder if I can get that color on my Accord.
JOHN: I know the color you mean. Is this it, sir?
NICK: Yes, I think that's it. Can I get that on the Accord?
JOHN: Yes, you can.
That color is very popular with Honda buyers. So we've kept it available.
NICK: Well, I think I want to order the new Accord then.
It looks like an excellent car.
JOHN: You have made a good choice, sir.
I drive an Accord myself. They are very solidly built machines, very reliable.
NICK: Yes, I know. I think Honda is the most reliable car on the road.
I would never change to anything else.
The Honda I have now almost never has service problems. It runs smooth as silk.
JOHN: Alright, sir. I will get the paperwork ready for you. Just a moment.

尼克：我喜欢上次你介绍给我的那部本田雅阁。
它比较符合我的需求。
约翰：好的，先生。你选对了。
本田在新款雅阁的设计上做了很多改进。
尼克：基本配备是什么呢？
约翰：我们新车的基本配备包括：
空调、防死锁煞车、气囊和附有 AM/FM 调频以及 CD 的音响。
但是雅阁还有另一项基本配备。
就是定速器。
尼克：定速器？我不喜欢那个。
约翰：为什么不呢？
尼克：我觉得很危险，万一不能解除设定呢？
约翰：有些顾客很在意定速器的问题。
但是雅阁的车从来没有因为定速器故障而导致意外事件。
尼克：我希望不要有定速器，我太太也不喜欢。
约翰：先生，你不必用到它。
你可以激活或解除设定，如果你不想用，不要激活它就好。
尼克：我想也是。那么天窗呢？是基本配备吗？
约翰：不是。天窗是选择性的。
尼克：这样啊。再一个重要的问题是什么时候可以拿车。
我很快就需要车子。
约翰：新的款式八月份会到。
如果你现在订购，我们八月份可以交车。
尼克：那还不错。新款式的雅阁有什么颜色

约翰：新款式的颜色有红色、白色、黑色和银色。
这些都是标准颜色。
当然你也可以特别指定其它的颜色。
尼克：我哥哥有一辆去年的雅阁车子。
是淡紫色混合银色。
我很喜欢那个颜色，我可不可以选那个颜色？
约翰：我知道你说的颜色。是这个吗？先生。
尼克：是的，就是那个。我可以选那种色吗？
约翰：可以。
那个颜色在雅阁的车子中是很受欢迎的，所以我们接受指定那种颜色。
尼克：那么我想订购一辆雅阁的新款车。
看起来像是很棒的车子。
约翰：你的选择正确。
我自己也开雅阁的车，很坚固，很可靠。
尼克：是的。我认为雅阁是路面上最可靠的车子。
我不会改变心意的。
我现在开的雅阁几乎没有送修的问题，它跑得像丝绸一般平顺。
约翰：好的，我帮你填写资料，请稍等
