给楼主两个例子作为参考，希望帮到了对话一BeingLateforSchool上学迟到 原文： (Li Mei is late for school.) W: May I come in, please? M: Hi, Li Mei, come in. Why are you late today? You know we're having an exam. W: I'm sorry,
Mr. Li. My bike broke down[1] on the way. And I couldn't find a place to get it fixed. So I pushed it all the way[2] to school. M: I see.Here is your test paper.Go to your seat and start to do it fast. 译文： 上学迟到 （
李梅上学迟到了） W: 可以进来吗? M: 嗨，李梅，进来吧。你今天怎么迟到了？你知道我们今天考试的。 W: 对不起，李老师。我的自行车在路上坏了。可我找不到修车的地方，所以我只好一路推着车到了学校。 M: 知道了。这是你的考卷。到你的座位上快点开始做吧。对话二：Kevin didn't show up for class because his car broke down....
Burt: Why didn't you show up for class this morning?
Kevin: I don't even want to talk about it. My car broke down.
Burt: What happened?
Kevin: The engine seems to be busted（失败的，不能启动的）. It's driving me crazy!
Burt: Wow. Have you thought about getting a new car?
Kevin: Yeah, I've thought about that, but I can't afford a new car. I'm broke.
Burt: Maybe you can lease（租借，租用） a car. It doesn't cost much. I know Toyota is running a promotion.
Kevin: Really? How much is it?
Burt: Zero down and $219 per month.
Kevin: That's a good deal. I might wanna consider it.
