Milena: 本期节目分享了我在新西兰租车期间的经历，主要围绕一辆混合动力丰田卡罗拉展开。我之前一直驾驶手动挡汽车，对自动挡汽车的操作不太熟悉。在取车过程中，我首先遇到了启动汽车的难题，因为我忘记了踩刹车。之后，我又学习了如何使用自动挡汽车的换挡杆以及如何解读仪表盘上的信息。混合动力汽车的静音驾驶体验也让我一度误以为汽车已经熄火。此外，我还提到了汽车内置GPS的语言设置问题，以及自动驻车制动器的使用。总的来说，这次租车经历虽然充满挑战，但也让我学习到了很多关于现代汽车的知识，并提升了我的英语表达能力。 Milena: 在节目中，我还讲解了一些与租车和驾驶相关的英语表达，例如：automatic transmission（自动变速器）、manual transmission（手动变速器）、hybrid car（混合动力汽车）、electric vehicle（电动汽车）、push the start button（按启动按钮）、press the brake pedal（踩刹车踏板）、dashboard（仪表盘）、lever（控制杆）等等。这些表达能够帮助听众更好地理解和描述与汽车相关的场景。
