原汁原味商務英語播客第113課:租車

Business travelers can't always get where they need to go by catching a plane or taking a taxi. Sometimes we need our own means of transport, and that usually means renting a car. So, in this ESL podcast we'll cover language you can use when choosing a car, discussing features and clarifying insurance options.
出差在外的商務人員在很多時候並不是搭航班或打車就能隨心所欲地前往某地。有時候還需要親自駕車。這就涉及到租車。那麼在今天的節目中我們就來學習租車時怎樣談論車輛的選擇、性能以及保險事宜。

In the last episode (BEP – Checking our of a Hotel), we met Honesto Salvador and Alan Chan, who have just finished attending a training program sponsored by their company in Boston. They've just arrived now at Logan Airport, where they need to rent a car for their upcoming trip to New Haven.
在上一期的節目“賓館退房”中，我們認識了 Honesto Salvador和Alan Chan。他們兩個剛剛完成了公司在波士頓舉行的培訓活動。現在兩個人剛剛抵達羅根機場，正需要租一輛車前往紐黑文市。

As you listen, pay attention to the language they use to ask about vehicle types, standard features, extras and insurance options.
大家在聽的時候要注意他們怎樣運用語言來談論車型、標準性能、配件以及保險事宜。

Listening Questions:

1. What kind of car would Honesto prefer?
2. What features are standard on all Beevis cars?
3. Why does Honesto not need extra insurance?
