租車
M: Michelle C: Clerk
M: I’d like to rent a car for the weekend. Do you have any on the lot?
C: We sure do. Did you happen to bring your driver’s license and credit card?
M: Yes, of course. Here you go. Also, are there any mileage restrictions on the rental vehicle?
C: If you pay an extra NT$500 fee, you can drive as far as you want in the two-day period.
M: Great. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I just have one more question. The car comes with insurance, right?
C: Yes. You are covered in case of an accident.
M: Is there anything else I need to do?
C: Just make sure the car has more than half a tank of gas when you return it.

蜜雪兒在汽車租賃處。
蜜雪兒：我本週末想要租車。你停車場裡還有車可供出租嗎？
店 員：我們當然有車。您剛好有帶駕駛執照和信用卡嗎？
蜜雪兒：有，當然有。在這裡。還有，出租車輛有任何哩程數的限制嗎？
店 員：您若多付五百元的話，兩天內您想開多遠就能開多遠。
蜜雪兒：太棒了。這正是我所要找的。我還有一個問題。車子有保險，對吧？
店 員：是的。萬一發生意外時都有理賠。
蜜雪兒：我還需要做什麼嗎？
店 員：只要確認您還車時油箱裡的油還有一半以上即可。
