　　Laurance-When did you get here?

　　Soony- Just a few minutes ago.

　　Ikea- We've been waiting for almost an hour.

　　Soony- I'm sorry, but I had car trouble--a flat tire.

　　Laurance-Oh. That's too bad. Couldn't you have telephoned?

　　Soony- I was going to, but I didn't have any change for a pay phone.

　　Ikea- You could have gotten some change in a store.

　　Soony- Not really. The tire went flat out on the edge of town. There wasn't any place to call from.

　　Ikea- WelL at least you're here now. No need to wait any longer. So let's get started!

　　注解:

　　a flat tire:轮胎瘪了

　　Could you have telephoned?此句用虚拟语气,有"你该做而没有做"的责备之意.

　　change:零钱.这里指硬币.

　　a pay phone:公用电话.公用电话是收费的,所以也称a pay phone.

　　went flat=became flat,went 在这里是系动词.

　　get started(口语)=begin work
