PETS－2每日對話練習254

Tev and Wei meet Paul outside the car rental agency
　　Paul: Hey, guys. You look awful!
　　Trev: I feel worse than I look.
　　Paul: I found the perfect car.
　　Trev: I hope it has muscle.
　　Paul: Better than that. It's reliable.
　　Trev: Sounds like my grandma's car.
　　Paul: And it gets really good gas mileage. Here it is. A Geo Metro.
　　Trev: That thing looks like a go-cart.
　　Paul: It's the cheapest car here. It never breaks down, and it's easy to park.
　　Trev:Come on! We're on vacation. We need something more fun than that.
