英语博客：ESL Podcast 726 – Taking the Driving Test

（单词翻译）

　　Cesar: I just took the driving test. See this? That’s my new license¹.
May: You have to give me the play-by- play. I’m taking the test next week and I’m freaking out.
Cesar: There’s nothing to worry about. It was easy.
May: I’m not worried about the written test. It’s the driving test I’m worried about. I haven’t had a lot of practice. What did you have to do?
Cesar: Well, we got into the car and I fastened my seat belt. The examiner had me drive around the block, checking to see that I stopped at the stop signs and traffic signals.
May: That sounds okay. Did you have to drive on the freeway?
Cesar: Yeah, I went on the onramp and merged² into traffic. She had me change lanes and accelerate to pass another driver. Just don’t forget to signal and don’t go over the speed limit.
May: Did you have to parallel park? That’s what I’m most worried about.
Cesar: Yeah, I parallel parked, but it was easy. Why are you so worried about the test?
May: I told you. I haven’t had very much practice.
Cesar: Exactly how many times have you been behind the wheel?
May: Well, a few times...maybe two times, and that was around a parking lot.
Cesar: Wow, you’d better get more practice if you’re going to take the test next week.
May: Could you...?
Cesar: Uh, sorry, but I’ve got someplace to be.
