今天的词汇大师DavidBurke向我们介绍了汽车有关的一些词汇。首先，让我们来认识认识这些汽车。
littledeucecoupe两门轿车
sedan四门轿车
convertible=ragtop有活动折篷的汽车
stationwagon小旅行车
minivan旅行车，stationwagon和minivan类似，都是小旅行车，那种后排可以坐人也可以储物的车。
SUV(sportutilityvehicle)多功能车，实际上这款车和运动关系不大，他比stationwagon和minivan更加的实用，颇受欢迎。
接下来，让我们看看美国人是如何称呼他们的“爱驾”的。
最常见的就是baby了，显得十分的亲密，如：Wowthatbabycanmove.美国人习惯称车子为wheels，如：Hey,nicesetofwheels!或CanIborrowyourwheels.他们也称呼车子为ride，如：niceride也就是说这是部好车。
