Jim is driving with Tom, an American businessman, to a meeting
Jim: I'm sorry, sir. We need to stop for a minute to fill up the gas tank.
Tom: That's OK. Have gas prices here been crazy, too?
Jim: Yes, they have. Is gas cheaper in the States? [they stop at a gas station]
Tom: Yes, but not by very much any more.
Jim: I thought everything was more expensive in the States.
Tom: Lots of things are, but our gas is the cheapest in the world.
Jim: Why is that?
Tom: Americans are really dependent on cars, and raising gas taxes would be political suicide.

吉姆正开车载着美国商人汤姆去开会
吉姆：先生，对不起。我们得停一下车加油。
汤姆：没关系。这里的油价也很疯狂吗？
吉姆：对，没错。汽油在美国比较便宜吧？（他们在加油站停下来）
汤姆：是的，但再也不会便宜到哪去了。
吉姆：我以为在美国每样东西都比较贵。
汤姆：很多东西都贵，但是我们汽油是世界上最便宜的。
吉姆：怎么会这样？
汤姆：美国人很依赖汽车，涨油价就等于政治自杀。
重点解说：
★ fill up加满
★ gas tank (n.) 汽油缸
★ raise (v.) 抬高（价格等）
★ suicide (n.) 自杀 | |

Later on, remember, culture shock takes a while to get used to, so give yourself time. Even the most simple things aren't always the same in another country. Buses are different, so get maps and timetables. Road rules are different, so use extra care. The currency is different, so familiarize yourself with the money. Habits are hard to break. To get the most out of your study abroad experience, find a happy medium between home and your new environment.
过后，要记住，文化冲突需经过一段时间才能适应，因而要给自己一些时间。即使最简单的事情在另一国家也会不一样。公共汽车是不同的，所以要带上地图和时间表。交通规则是不同的，因而要格外小心。货币是不同的，所以要熟悉当地货币。原有的习惯是很难改变的。充分利用你在国外读书的经历，在家乡和新的环境之间找到一个愉快的结合点。 | |
