Henry and his friend Lucy are talking about what to consider when buying a car.

亨利和朋友露西正在讨论买车时候要考虑的因素。

• H: Lucy, what are your priorities when buying a car?
• 亨利：露西，你买车的时候优先考虑什么因素呢？
• L: I guess the first thing is the price, the second is the size, and of course the color will play a role too. Besides, it is our duty to protect the environment. Therefore, I will also pay attention to the fuel consumption of the car. You know, the gasoline price is rising every day. So I would rather consider a smaller car with a smaller engine. For which I can also save some tax. Last on the list, I will also consider safety issues.
• 露西：我想首先要考虑价格，其次是空间，当然，颜色也很重要。另外，保护环境也是我们的义务，所以，我也会注意汽车排量。你知道，现在汽油每天一个价。所以，我更趋向于选择发动机小的小型汽车。这样我还可以省点税。最后，安全性也是要考虑的。
• H: What about environmental factors?
• 亨利：环境因素呢？
• L: Well, I do prefer a lower emission car as long as it doesn't cost much. Some environmentally-friendly cars are really expensive.
• 露西：嗯，只要不是太贵，我更愿意选择小排量的汽车，有些环保汽车真是贵啊。
• H: They sure are. Some hi-tech devices are built in to make sure they pollute less. Some of these green cars have not become standard issue yet. So the production costs are still high. But anyway, to start with, we should make an effort.
• 亨利：确实。汽车里面安装了一些高科技的设备来确保它们减少污染。一些这种类型的环保汽车还不是标准配置，所以生产成本仍然很高。但是无论怎样，首先，我们应该付诸努力。
