2015年ESL之旅行交通购物 01 Buying a Luxury Car

Buying a Luxury Car 

Narin: This car is amazing. 

Daniel: I know. It has every luxury option available. 

Narin: This sumptuous¹ interior is so comfortable. 

Daniel: You haven²?t seen anything yet. It has a climate control system for every seat and a voice-activated entertainment system. It also has the best navigation system money can buy. Let me turn this car on with the remote starter. 

Narin: That?s impressive. How does it drive? 

Daniel: It drives like a dream. It has the most responsive handling of any car I?ve driven, and it has such a smooth ride you?d hardly know we?re moving. 

Narin: You?re right. It?s like riding on a cloud. 

Daniel: And this car is safe, too. It has seven air bags and an alert system for blind spots, which helps to avoid front and rear collisions. 

Narin: Can you give me a ride home? 

Daniel: No, I have to get this car back to the car lot before my boss notices it?s gone. 

Narin: Couldn?t you just tell him you were taking a potential customer out on a test drive? 

Daniel: Again?
