43. Always Carry a Spare 永远要带备胎

Christopher bought a new car. He was going to travel the country with it. His friends helped him prepare for the trip. "You should carry a spare tire," said Brian. Christopher didn't see a point to that. "New cars don't need spare tires," he said.

克里斯托弗买了一辆新车，他准备开着它环游全国。他的朋友帮他准备这次旅行，“你应该带一个备用轮胎”，布莱恩说。克里斯托弗觉得没必要，“新车不需要备胎”，他说。

One week later, Christopher went on his trip. He couldn't wait to explore the country. Suddenly, he heard a loud pop. His car started making a strange noise. Christopher pulled over to the side of the highway. He walked around his car. A back wheel had popped. He had barely driven for one hour. Christopher had to call Brian for help. Brian laughed at him for hours.

一周后，克里斯托弗开始了旅行。他已经等不及去探索这个国家了。突然，他听到了“砰”的一声巨响，他的车开始发出奇怪的声音。克里斯托弗停到了高速公路的旁边，他走下车一看，一个后胎爆了。他才开了不到一个小时。克里斯托弗只得打电话向布莱恩求助，克里斯托弗嘲笑了他好几个小时。
