第三个问题是我太太提的。

And the third question is from my wife.

你刚才提到过,如果有人要买降落伞,他们不会因为谁报价最低就买谁的。

You mentioned earlier if someone were buying a parachute, they wouldn't buy based on lowest bid.

这周我们看到你开着一辆车到处转悠,那辆车如果今天去买的话,大概是能用相对很低的价格买到的。

We saw you tooling around in a car this week that, if it were to be bought today, could probably be bought at a relatively low bid.

她很关心你的健康,所以她想知道,你有没有考虑过换一辆更新一点的车,也许是那种有很多安全气囊的。

As someone interested in your health, she's wondering whether you've considered a newer automobile, possibly one with lots of airbags.

没有。

No.

其实,我当初选我这辆车,就是因为它两边都有安全气囊。

Actually, I picked out the car I have based on the fact that it had airbags on both sides.

所以这个确实是个考虑因素。

So that was a factor.

它可能还是这种车型里第一款配安全气囊的车。

It may have been the first car of its type ever made with airbags.

不过我觉得我的车其实——它又重,又有安全气囊。

But I think my car actually—it's both heavy and has airbags.

而这两点是安全性里最主要的两个因素。

And those are two primary factors in safety.

我不觉得——我不觉得现在一定有更安全的车在生产。

I don't think any—I don't think a safer car is necessarily being made.

当然,开那种大型重型卡车之类的东西,可能会更安全一点。

It might be safer to drive around in a big heavy-duty truck or something.

但我还没准备好那样。

But I'm not ready for that.

顺便说一句,对车这件事,我跟看别的东西也差不多。

Incidentally, on a car, I look at that like anything else.

我要是去走一遍买车的流程,再看看 owner's manual 之类那些东西,大概要花我半天时间。

It would take me probably half a day to go through the exercise of buying a car and reading the owner's manual and all of that.

而这半天时间,对我的人生来说,我根本不想为了没有任何好处的事把它让出去。

And that's just half a day I don't want to give up in my life for no benefit.

如果我能在三十秒内开张支票,然后就像现在这样,只是换成一辆更新的车,那我很乐意这么做。

If I could write a check in 30 seconds and be in the same position I'm in now with a newer car, I'd be glad to do it.

对。

Yeah.

今天下午就行,但如果这事对我真的完全没有好处,我就不愿意拿时间去交换。

This afternoon, but I don't like to trade away time when there's really no benefit to me at all.

我对现在这辆车完全满意。

I'm totally happy with the car.

我只是不想为了买辆新车,花那么多时间去折腾,去熟悉它,去办 title,去做其他那些事,去挑一辆出来。

I just don't want to trade away the amount of time I'd have to spend fooling around to get familiar with it and get title to it and do all the rest of the things, pick one out, to get a new car.

不过如果真造出了更安全的车,你知道,我会开那辆车的。

But if there's a safer car made, you know, I'll be driving in it.
