and if you could at some point during this video give me a thumbs up that would be awesome.

如果你能在影片裡點讚，那就太好了。

So I noticed when I got in my van today that I was out of gas, or almost out of gas.

我今天坐上小貨車時發現沒油了，或者說幾乎沒油了。

The gas gauge, the little dial that tells me how much gas I have left, was pretty low.

油表，那個小錶盤告訴我剩下的油很少。

In English we would describe this as, "Running out of gas."

在英文，我們會形容為 "Running out of gas"。

We also describe it as, "Running on empty."

我們也會形容 "Running on empty"。

Yeah, you could say I was running on empty which means there's just a tiny amount of gas left.

你可以說我快要沒油了，這意味著只有少量剩餘的汽油。

I think I have enough gas to get to the gas station so that I can fill up my gas tank in my van.

我有足夠的汽油去加油站，這樣我就可以把小貨車油箱加滿。

Hopefully I make it there.

希望油量夠我開到那裡。

So a few sentences in English to describe this, you would say, "I need gas."

所以，用英語的幾句話來形容，你會說：「我需要加油」。

"My car needs gas." or "My van needs gas."

「我的車需要加油」或 「我的小貨車需要加油」

"I need to fill up with gas."

「我需要加滿油」

"I need to fill up my gas tank."

「我需要把油箱加滿」。

So one of the first things to look for is the price of gas,

首先要看的就是油價，

and generally there's a nice sign on the road outside of a gas station which will let you know how much gas is going to cost.

一般來說，加油站外的路旁會有個牌子，告訴你汽油的價格。

At this gas station, gas is currently $1.20 per litre.

在這個加油站，目前汽油每升1.2元。

That's actually not too bad for right now, so let's go fill up.

其實現在的油價還不錯，我們去加油吧。

At the gas station you're going to find gas pumps.

在加油站裡你會看見加油機。

Gas pumps generally pump three different kinds of gas, but they also pump diesel.

加油機一般提供三種不同的汽油，也有柴油。

Diesel is generally used for things like trucks and tractors.

柴油一般用於卡車和拖拉機。

My particular van uses gas so we're just going to fill this van up with gas.

我的小貨車用的是汽油，所以我們就把這輛車加滿。

So one of the first things I need to do is I need to open up this little door and take off my gas cap.

我要做的第一件事就是打開這扇小門，然後把油箱蓋拿掉。

This is the gas cap.

這是油箱蓋。

Then once I've got the gas cap off on the gas pump I need to select what type of gas I want to purchase.

一旦我把油箱蓋打開，我就需要選擇加哪種類型的汽油。

So I'm gonna take the gas nozzle out.

所以，我要把油槍拿出來。

It's attached to the gas hose or just the hose and we're just gonna put that into my vehicle,

油槍有油管接連著，然後把油槍放入車子的油孔。

let me give you a look at that, so I'm ready to pump, I have my hand on the nozzle,

讓我給你看看，我準備好要加油了，我的手放在油槍上。

and I'm going to go here and I'm gonna select this grade of gasoline which is the lowest grade 'cuz that's all Bob the Canadian can afford.

我要選擇這個等級的汽油，這是最低等級的，因為那是唯一我能負擔的。

Up here you'll see how many litres, might be in gallons depending on your country,

這裡你會看到有多少公升，可能是在加侖 （這取決於你的國家），

how many litres are going to go in and how much it's going to cost.

多少公升要加進去，要花多少錢。

So let's pump this thing full.

所以，我們把油箱加滿。

So you can see the numbers going up here.

你可以看到這裡的數字會上升。

I've spent $21 dollars now.

我現在已經花了21塊錢。

I've put just over 18 litres into my van.

我已經把超過18升的汽油加到我的小貨車。

And I'm gonna pump, I'm gonna pump it full.

我要加滿油。

I'm gonna fill it up.

我要把油箱裝滿。

So there's two different ways of buying gas.

有兩種購買汽油的方式。

The first way to buy gas is at a self-serve gas station.

第一種方式是在自助加油站。

A self-serve gas station is where me as the driver of the vehicle pump the gas myself.

自助加油站就是車輛的司機自己加油。

Another way to buy gas is at a full serve gas station.

另一種購買汽油的方式是在有人員服務的加油站。

A full serve gas station, a gas attendant will come out and they will pump the gas for you.

有人員服務的加油站，加油員會幫你加油。

So you would say to the gas attendant things like, "Please put $20 worth in." or "Please fill it up."

所以你會對加油員說：「請加20美元的油」或 「請加滿」。

So you could hear that little clunk sound that means we have successfully filled the gas tank up.

你可以聽到哐噹聲，這代表已經成功地加滿油了。

The only thing left to do right now is I need to take out the gas nozzle and I'm gonna put it right back here in the gas pump.

現在唯一要做的事情就是把油槍取出來，並放回到加油機上。

I'm also going to put my gas cap back on my vehicle and you hear that beeping sound?

我也要把我的油箱蓋蓋上，你聽到那嗶嗶聲了嗎？

That beeping sound basically is saying, "You need to go inside and pay."

那嗶嗶聲基本上就是在說「你要進去付錢」。

So let's go do that.

我們就去付錢吧。

Let me get my wallet first!

讓我先去拿錢包！

You can pay for gas by just putting your credit card or your bank card straight into the pump.

您只需拿信用卡或金融卡直接在加油機刷卡，就可以支付油費。

You can also pay for gas by going into the store, and you saw the store earlier when I pulled in.

剛才我們開入加油站時你有看到的商店，你也可以走入店內付油錢。

We're just gonna go in here and I'm gonna pay the attendant for the gas.

我們就走進商店內，把油錢拿給服務員。

"Good morning, how are you?"

「早上好，你好嗎？」

- No, that's it.

- 不，沒其他的了。

- Thank you very much.

- 非常感謝你。

So there's a couple other things you can do at a gas station.

在加油站還可以做一些其他的事情。

You can check your oil.

你可以檢查你的機油。

Gas is what makes the car go, oil is what keeps the engine lubricated.

汽油能讓汽車行駛，機油是讓引擎保持潤滑。

So I could open up the hood of my van and I could check the oil.

我可以打開小貨車的引擎蓋就能檢查機油。

That's another thing you could do at a gas station.

這是你在加油站可以做的另一件事。

I might also want to wash the windows.

我可能還想清洗一下窗戶。

So if you look over here…

所以如果你看這裡......

... Oh, here they are.

...... 哦，在這裡。

So if you look over here you can grab this and you can use this to wash your windows while you're at the gas station if you needed to.

如果你需要，你可以拿取這個來清洗你的窗戶。

At a gas station you can also pump up your tires.

在加油站你也可以給輪胎打氣。

Way over there is a small air pump, so if my tires were low on my vehicle I could drive over there and in Canada you have to put money in,

那邊有一個打氣筒，所以如果我的胎壓很低可以在那打氣，在加拿大你需要付一點費用，

it usually costs a loonie, a dollar.

通常要花一元加拿大幣。

Super happy that I was able to fill up with gas because if you run out of gas,

很高興我能加滿油，因為如果你沒油了，

if your vehicle stops moving because there's no more gas in it, you have to walk to a gas station.

車子會因為沒有油而停止行駛，你必須走到加油站。

You have to ask if you can borrow a gas can, and then you have to walk all the way back to your vehicle.

你要跟加油站借個汽油桶，然後提著走回到你停車的地方。

So generally it's a good idea to fill up with gas before you run out of gas!

一般來說，在沒油之前，還是先加滿油吧!

Well, hey, thanks for joining me on this little trip to the gas station to get some gas.

謝謝你和我一起到加油站加油。
