　　The first people to buy cars in America were the same people who had gardeners and chauffeurs(汽车司机).Actually, a chauffeur was a must for the first cars because they were hard to start. He had to be a driver and a mechanic (汽车修理工) as well. Almost anything could go wrong and it usually did. When you started out, you were never sure when, or if, you were going to reach the end of your trip. No ordinary farmer, no country doctor, no shopkeeper could waste his time trying to keep a lot of parts working together all the time. Repairing three flat tires(轮胎)in ten miles took time. No, the horseless carriage made too much trouble for the ordinary man to keep running.
