情景对话
（Billy is ready to begin driving）
Billy: Should I go now?

Jennifer: Nice and easy. Just give it a little gas.

Billy: Nothing is happening! (sound of motor revving)

Jennifer: First you have to put the car into gear. Move this shifter so the arrow points at "D" for drive.

Billy: What do these other letters mean?

Jennifer: "R" is for reverse, "P" is for park, and D1 and D2 are lower gears for going through snow, or up a steep hill.

参考译文
(比利准备开车出发)
比　利：我现在可以了吗？

珍妮花：放松点慢慢来。只要加一点点油门。

比　利：没反应啊！（引擎空转声）

珍妮花：你要先把车子挂档。移动排档杆，让箭头指向D，意思是前进档。

比　利：那其它的字母是啥意思啊？

珍妮花：R是指倒档。P是停车档。D1和D2是在雪地里行驶或爬陡坡用的低速档。
