今天我们要学的词是clunker
Clunker有旧车、破车的意思。为了帮助汽车市场走出低谷,美国国会众议院批准了一项计划。"The plan offers up to $4500 to consumers who trade in gas-guzzling clunkers for new models," 根据计划,消费者可以把耗油量大的旧车交出来,买辆新车,并从政府那里得到最多四千五百美元的补贴。
"The "Cash for Clunker" proposal has been under negotiation for months as lawmakers try to boost car sales while providing environmental benefits," 围绕这项“现金换破车”提案的辩论已经进行好几个月了,国会议员希望在推动汽车销量的同时能达到环保的目的。
