知识点讲解】
1. Isn't that your car？ Didn't you have a crash? 在英语中常用这样一般疑问句的否定形式来表示反问，表达期待、请求或希望得到肯定的答复。
2. Well, it was my car. 这里was用斜体写表示了一种对过去时态的强调，意思是“曾经是我的车，但现在报废成这样就不像是了。”
3. to tell you the truth 是一种口语的表达，意思是“就实话跟你说了吧……”

　　课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.When did you bring it to us? 您什么时候送来的?
bring表示“送来”、“带来”和“拿来”的意思，在方位上多指朝说话人而来。
2.…they're still working on it. ……他们还在修呢。
work on 表示“从事”、“干”(某事)。 still是“仍然”、“还在”的意思，此处在句中对 working on it起了强调的作用。
3.have a look at it, 看一下。
这里的 it指 car，以避免重复。这里的 look是名词，have a look at与 look at意思是一样的。
4.Isn't that your car? 这难道不是您的车吗?
Didn't you have a crash? 难道您没有出车祸吗?
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。
语法 Grammar in use
现在完成时的疑问式及否定式
现在完成时的构成是 have/has+ 过去分词，因此其疑问式是将have/has提到主语之前，否定式则在have/has后加上not即可
