/spəˈdɒmɪtər/The speedometer read 60, right at the limit.
车速表显示60,正好是限速。
My old speedometer reads in miles, so I do the math in my head.
我那台旧车速表用英里显示,我都得在脑子里换算。
显示车速的仪表。容易和显示发动机转速的转速表(tachometer)混淆。

显示车速的仪表。容易和显示发动机转速的转速表(tachometer)混淆。
The tachometer spikes when you rev the engine in neutral.
空挡轰油门时,转速表会飙高。
Shift up before the tachometer hits the red zone.
在转速表进入红区之前升挡。
显示每分钟转速(rpm)的仪表,也叫rev counter。它表示发动机转速,而非车速。
The fuel gauge is near E, so find a gas station soon.
油量表快到E了,得赶紧找加油站。
After a full tank the fuel gauge sits right on F.
加满油后,油量表的指针正好停在F。
F代表full(满),E代表empty(空)。在电动车上,同样位置显示的是电量(state of charge)。
The check engine light came on, so I had the car scanned.
引擎故障灯亮了,我去做了检测。
A loose gas cap can make the check engine light flash.
油箱盖没拧紧也可能让引擎故障灯亮起。
也叫malfunction indicator lamp(MIL)。闪烁比常亮更严重,应立即检查。
If the oil light stays on, stop driving and check the oil.
机油灯一直亮就别开了,检查一下机油。
The oil light flickered on a sharp turn because the level was low.
因为机油偏少,急转弯时机油灯闪了一下。
它多数提示的是油压不足,而非油量。图标是红色油壶,亮灯后应立即停车较为安全。
A red battery light often means the alternator is failing.
红色电瓶灯通常表示发电机出了问题。
The battery light stayed on after a jump start, so I drove straight to a shop.
搭电启动后电瓶灯还亮着,我就直接开去了修理店。
图标是电瓶,但通常提示的是充电系统(发电机或皮带)故障。亮灯继续行驶可能会熄火。
The temperature light means the engine is overheating.
水温灯亮表示发动机过热了。
In a long traffic jam the temperature light crept toward red.
在长时间堵车中,水温灯慢慢往红色那头爬。
温度计图标显示蓝色表示偏冷,红色表示过热。亮红灯就要停车给发动机降温。
Cold mornings can trip the tire pressure light for a while.
寒冷的早晨,胎压灯有时会亮一会儿。
After I topped up the air, the tire pressure light went off on its own.
我把胎压补足后,胎压灯自己就灭了。
TPMS是tire pressure monitoring system的缩写。图标通常是马蹄形里加一个感叹号。
