Tony买了新车，本来说好要带Tina出去兜风的，却无法点火了。不过，两个月后，他们还是准备去海南旅游。
Tony: Tina, I thought I could take you out for a spin in my new car this weekend, but I’m sorry I can’t now.
Tina: What a shame! What happened?
Tony: The new car I bought yesterday wouldn’t start this morning. And I am sending it back for repairs.
Tina: I’m so sorry to hear that. What about the spring trip you promised? Is it still on?
Tony: Yes! I figured my car should be ready in two months’ time for longer excursions.
Tina: Good! I’d really like to go to Hainan. You have raved about it so much!
