Question

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is1known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars.2it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the3to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to4me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 5, my friend drove his car into the innermost6, which had a sign “carpool only”. I7what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool.8I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing.9?” said he.
“Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I10.
My friend couldn’t help11and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more12can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on13that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he14“carpool” the next day. “15,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was16again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled”17. My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor18meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun,19the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really20for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.
