Fix the Car
She got into her car. She hoped it would start. Twice in the past month, the car had not started when she turned the key. It had started the second time she turned the key, but that made her nervous. Sooner or later, she might have to turn the key three times, then four times. She had called her mechanic. He said to bring the car in when she had time. When was that, she wondered. She worked two jobs. She was a clerk at a clothing store. She spent five days a week folding clothes or hanging them up on hangers. People who tried on clothes usually left them on the floor in the dressing room. They rarely folded them or hung them back up on the hangers. The store was only 15 minutes from her apartment, and parking was free. Also, she worked four nights a week at a restaurant. She was a waitress. She made good money from her tips. Usually, the customers were friendly and interesting. She liked her waitress job, but it was a 30-minute drive from her apartment. The restaurant closed at 10 p.m. She did not want to be stuck in the parking lot late at night if her car didn’t start. Her mechanic wasn’t open on weekends. She decided to ask her boss to give her a day off from the clothing store. Then she could still drive to the restaurant that night after her car was fixed. She would miss only one day of work.
她进入汽车。希望能够点燃汽车。过去一个月里，汽车有两次未能正常打火。这是她第二次尝试打火，这次她有些紧张了。她或许还要第三次尝试，之后还有第四次。她叫了修理工。修理工说有时间将车开过来。她想什么时候有时间呢。她有两份工作。她是服装店的服务员。每周五天叠衣服，或将衣服挂在衣服架上。通常，人们试完衣服就会放在试衣间里。很少有人会叠起来，或者重新放到衣服架上。服装店距离住所仅15分钟，停车免费。每周四晚在餐馆工作。她是名服务生。通过获取小费赚钱。顾客非常风趣也很和蔼。她喜欢这份工作，但距离住所有30分钟车程。餐馆每晚10点关门。若无法正常点火，她不想困在停车场。修理工周末不上班。她决定向服装店老板请一天假。修完汽车，她仍能去餐馆上班。只休息一天而已。
