Mr Wood: Is my car ready yet?
Attendant2: I don’t know, sir. What’s the licence number of your car?
Mr Wood: It’s LFZ 312 G.
Attendant: When did you bring it to us?
Mr Wood: I brought it here three days ago.
Attendant: Ah yes, I remember now.
Mr Wood: Have your mechanics finished yet?
Attendant: No, they’re still working on it. Let’s go into the garage and have a look at it.
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?
Attendant: Well, they’re trying to repair it, sir. But to tell you the truth, you need a new car.

When did you bring it to us? 您什么时候送来的?
bring表示“送来”、“带来”和“拿来”的意思,在方位上多指朝说话人而来。 -
.…they're still working on it. ……他们还在修呢。
work on 表示“从事”、“干”(某事)。 still是“仍然”、“还在”的意思,此处在句中对 working on it起了强调的作用。 -
have a look at it, 看一下。
这里的 it指 car,以避免重复。这里的 look是名词,have a look at与 look at意思是一样的。 -
Isn't that your car? 这难道不是您的车吗?
Didn't you have a crash? 难道您没有出车祸吗?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。 -
现在完成时的疑问式及否定式,现在完成时的构成是 have/has+ 过去分词,因此其疑问式是将have/has提到主语之前,否定式则在have/has后加上not即可。
