今天我们聊聊开车  

Jīntiān wǒmen liáoliáo kāichē  

Today we are going to talk about driving  

我是2017年学的车  

Wǒ shì èr líng yī qī nián xué de chē  

I learned to drive in 2017  

我学习考试一直都很厉害  

Wǒ xuéxí kǎoshì yìzhí dōu hěn lìhai  

I've always been really good at learning and taking exams  

一个月拿下驾照  

Yī gè yuè náxià jiàzhào  

So I got my driver's license in one month  

可是八年多了，没有开过车  

Kěshì bā nián duō le, méiyǒu kāiguò chē  

But for more than eight years, I haven't driven a car  

主要是我老公开车  

Zhǔyào shì wǒ lǎogōng kāichē  

Mainly because my husband drives  

所以我也就不需要开车  

Suǒyǐ wǒ yě jiù bù xūyào kāichē  

So I don't need to drive  

再说我也比较害怕  

Zàishuō wǒ yě bǐjiào hàipà  

Besides, I'm also quite scared of driving  

我家里是一辆七座车  

Wǒ jiālǐ shì yī liàng qī zuò chē  

We have a seven-seater car for our family  

比较大，所以停车也叫我担心  

Bǐjiào dà, suǒyǐ tíngchē yě jiào wǒ dānxīn  

It's quite big, so parking also makes me worried  

我们大学毕业后  

Wǒmen dàxué bìyè hòu  

After we graduated from university  

我在一家二手车公司工作  

Wǒ zài yī jiā èrshǒuchē gōngsī gōngzuò  

I worked at a used car company  

它的模式就是复制美国的carmax  

Tā de móshì jiù shì fùzhì Měiguó de Carmax  

Its business model was a copy of America's Carmax  

Carmax的创始人是投资人之一  

Carmax de chuàngshǐrén shì tóuzīrén zhī yī  

One of the investors was the founder of Carmax  

虽然势头比较好  

Suīrán shìtóu bǐjiào hǎo  

Although it had a good momentum at first  

但最后还是经营不善倒闭了  

Dàn zuìhòu háishì jīngyíng bùshàn dǎobì le  

In the end, it still went bankrupt due to poor management  

最近几年电动车发展得很快速  

Zuìjìn jǐ nián diàndòngchē fāzhǎn de hěn kuàisù  

Electric cars have developed very rapidly in recent years  

价格也越来越低  

Jiàgé yě yuè lái yuè dī  

Their prices are also getting lower and lower  

侧面地导致了油车的降价  

Cèmiàn de dǎozhì le yóuchē de jiàngjià  

This has indirectly led to price reductions for gasoline-powered cars  

中国的这些电车企业多是第一次造车  

Zhōngguó de zhèxiē diànchē qǐyè duō shì dì yī cì zào chē  

Most of these Chinese electric car companies are making cars for the first time  

他们很疯狂地营销  

Tāmen hěn fēngkuáng de yíngxiāo  

They carry out very aggressive marketing  

在某些城市还开始了无人驾驶的出租车  

Zài mǒuxiē chéngshì hái kāishǐ le wúrén jiàshǐ de chūzūchē  

In some cities, they have even launched self-driving taxis  

但是我常看到电动车自燃的新闻  

Dànshì wǒ cháng kàndào diàndòngchē zìrán de xīnwén  

But I often see news about electric cars catching fire spontaneously

还有突然全车断电的故事  

Hái yǒu túrán quánchē duàndiàn de gùshi  

And stories about sudden total power failures in electric cars  

所以我还是会开油车  

Suǒyǐ wǒ háishì huì kāi yóuchē  

So I still prefer to drive a gasoline-powered car  

很快我就要面临着接送孩子的事情  

Hěn kuài wǒ jiù yào miànlín zhe jiēsòng háizi de shìqing  

Soon I will have to face the task of picking up and dropping off the kids  

所以我马上就要学会开车了  

Suǒyǐ wǒ mǎshàng jiù yào xuéhuì kāichē le  

So I will learn to drive soon  

我会在网上找一个陪练  

Wǒ huì zài wǎngshàng zhǎo yī gè péiliàn  

I will find a driving instructor online  

也就是他坐在副驾驶帮助你  

Yějiù shì tā zuò zài fùjiàshǐ bāngzhù nǐ  

That is, someone who sits in the passenger seat to help you  

还会安装一个副刹  

Hái huì ānzhuāng yī gè fùshā  

They will also install an auxiliary brake  

也就是在副驾驶的一个刹车片  

Yějiù shì zài fùjiàshǐ de yī gè shāchè piàn  

Which is a brake pad located on the passenger side  

据说练习几十个小时就可以熟练了  

Jùshuō liànxí jǐ shí gè xiǎoshí jiù kěyǐ shúliàn le  

It's said that after practicing for dozens of hours, you can become proficient

大家期待我的好消息吧  

Dàjiā qīdài wǒ de hǎo xiāoxi ba  

Everyone, please look forward to my good news!
