their horns (喇叭), and the drivers began to shout. George got out of his car and pushed his car to the side
of the road.
A young man and his girlfriend were standing nearby, "Excuse me," said George, "do you know anything
about cars."
Before the girl could say anything, her boyfriend said, "Leave it me," Then he opened the bonnet at the
front of the car, "Oh, dear, it looks very bad." He shook his head and whistled (吹口哨)."
