MR. WOOD:I brought it here three days ago.
ATTENDANT:Ah yes, I remember now.
MR. WOOD:Have your mechanics finished yet?
ATTENDANT:No, they're still working on it.
Let's go into the garage and have a look at it.
ATTENDANT:Isn't that your car?
MR. WOOD:Well, it was my car.
ATTENDANT:Didn't you have a crash?
MR. WOOD:That's right.
I drove it into a lamp-post.
Can your mechanics repair it?
ATTENDANT:Well,
they're trying to repair it, sir.
But to tell you the truth,
you need a new car!

Notes on the text 课文注释
1 在英文中可以用一般疑问句的否定形式来表示期待、请求或希望得到肯定的答复,如课文中的Isn't that your car? 和 Didn't you have a crash?
2 Well, it was my car.
well是感叹词。在这里表示“哎”。was用斜体,表示“过去是,现在不是了”。was要重读。3 drive into 是“撞倒……”的意思。
4 they're trying to repair it, 他们正在设法修理。try 后面常接 to+ 动词不定式。
