MR. WOOD：Have your mechanics finished yet?

ATTENDANT：Isn't that your car?
MR. WOOD：Well, it was my car.
ATTENDANT：Didn't you have a crash?
MR. WOOD：That's right. I drove it into a lamp-post. Can your mechanics repair it?

Notes on the text 课文注释
1 在英文中可以用一般疑问句的否定形式来表示期待、请求或希望得到肯定的答复，如课文中的Isn't that your car? 和 Didn't you have a crash?
2  Well, it was my car.
well是感叹词。在这里表示“哎”。was用斜体，表示“过去是，现在不是了”。was要重读。3 drive into 是“撞倒……”的意思。
4 they're trying to repair it, 他们正在设法修理。try 后面常接 to+ 动词不定式。
