3.W:You're the man who bought the VW Van from us, are'nt you? 是你从我这里买的VW VAN 吧?; _- m1 T( C2 O) ?/ t
; q6 C0 T% Q# `4 c- z, f& V3 a  M: Yeah! It's real lemon. 是的,真是部烂车 ...

你这一句里可能有错误, " a lemon" 是个成语，不能说成　＂lemon".
8 k8 @+ ~7 i: `6 R' M/ i* Q. z$ @. a1 i3 y英语的成语和中文成语很不一样，＂小词＂（a, an, the, 's , ...) 是很重要的．
8 r. l2 m# O; Y
比如：They work like a dog, 不能说成：They work like dogs.
