   B: OK,我试一试。啊，我们的车怎么在向后走，我们是在倒挡吗？
   A: 不，我们现在处于空挡。慢慢踩下油门踏板，同时松开离合器。很快你就能适应换挡了。现在，踩下刹车踏板，靠路边停下并且熄火。

   B: Ok, ahh why are we rolling backwards? Are we in reverse?
   A: No we are still in neutral. Slowly push down on the gap pedal and let out the clutch at the same time. Soon changing gears will be second nature to you. Now push down on brake pedal, let's pull over and shut off the engine.
