（二）
英語中“修理”，該怎么表達？
service
: to examine a vehicle or machine, especially at fixed regular
times, and repair it if necessary
保養(yǎng)、維護
例：
All our machinery is serviced regularly.
（我們的機器都有定期保養(yǎng)。）

have something serviced

I'm?having?the?car?serviced?next?week.
（我下周把車拿去保養(yǎng)。）
?
"You?should?have?your?car?serviced."?"It?isn't?worth?it.?I?hardly?ever?drive?now."
（
-
你該把車拿去保養(yǎng)保養(yǎng)了。
??-
不用了，我基本不開，保養(yǎng)白花錢。）
補充：
''service''
做名詞時。
例：
We recommend an annual service for all
central heating boilers.
（我們建議中央供暖系統(tǒng)的所有鍋爐要定期年檢保養(yǎng)。）
My car's due for service - I'll book it into a garage next week. （我的車該做保養(yǎng)了，我預(yù)定了下周進廠。）
