實用口語天天學 第170期:我無能爲力
(Elaine waits impatiently at the next pump)
Attendant: Hello, miss. How much?
Elain: To the top, please. Quickly!
Attendant: What kind of gas would you like, 92 or 95?
Elain: 98. This car only takes 98.
Attendant: You're at the wrong pump then. The 98 pump is over there.
Elain: What!?! I just came from over there! Can't you do something?
Attendant: Sorry, miss, I can't turn water into wine. We'll have to go over there.
★ turn water into wine 表面上的字義是“化水爲酒”，所以這個加油員是說他無法把92或95的汽油變成98的給伊蓮
【參考譯文】
(伊蓮在下一個加油機前不耐煩地等着)
站員乙：哈囉，小姐。加多少？
伊 蓮：加到滿，拜託。快！
站員乙：你要加哪種油呢？92或95？
伊 蓮：98。這車只能加98。
站員乙：那你可就找錯加油機了。98的加油機在那裏。
伊 蓮：什麼！？我纔剛從那過來！你不能想想辦法嗎？
站員乙：很抱歉，小姐，我可沒辦法把清水變雞湯。我們必須到那裏去。
