電話的地位越來越重要，當(dāng)電話打不通時該怎么辦
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: You're late.
 
你遲到了。
 
B: I know I'm late. I'm sorry.I tried to call you to tell you, but your phone seems to be disconnected.
 
我知道我遲到了，很抱歉。我試過打電話告訴你，但是你的電話好像不通。
 
A: My phone?
 
我的電話？
 
B: Yes. An automatic message says your phone is not in service.
 
是啊，一個自動傳話說你的電話已經(jīng)停止服務(wù)。
 
A: Really? I had no idea. Let me check.Yes, it's dead. There's no dial tone.
 
真的？我一點都不知道，我來查查看。是的，它毫無聲響，沒有撥號音。
 
B: So I couldn't get through.I knew I'd be late because my car wouldn't start.It was too cold I had to warm it up in the garage with a heater. That's why I'm late.
 
所以我打不進(jìn)去啊。我知道我會遲到，因為我的車沒法發(fā)動，天氣實在太冷了，我必須在車庫用暖爐熱車，這就是為何我會遲到。
 
A: But this is terrible. I'm expecting important calls.
 
但是這下慘了，我正在等很重要的電話。
 
B: About what?
 
有關(guān)什么的？
 
A: You know what.The theater guild is supposed to call me and discuss a contract for my play.They are supposed to call me this evening.If I don't have a phone. Oh, what can I do?
 
你知道嗎，戲劇公會應(yīng)該會打電話給我，討論我劇本的合約。他們這個傍晚應(yīng)該會打電話給我。如果我沒有電話，我要怎么辦？
 
B: Well, the only thing you can do is tell the phone company and hope they fix it fast.
 
嗯，你唯一能做的就是告訴電話公司，希望他們能趕快修理好。
 
A: Do you have a cell phone?
 
你有移動電話嗎？
 
B: No. I hate cell phones.But you could go to a neighbor's house and use their phone.
 
沒有，我討厭移動電話。但是你可以去一位鄰居家用他們的電話。
 
A: Can you drive me?I will go to Ann's house. It isn't far.I can call the theater guild from there and give them her number.She will let us wait in her living room.
 
你可以載我一程嗎？我會去安的家，不會很遠(yuǎn)，我可以從那打電話給戲劇公會，并且留下她的號碼，她會讓我們在客廳等。
 
B: Yes, of course I can drive you.So you don't want to get your phone fixed right away?
 
好的，當(dāng)然我可以載你。那么你不馬上叫人修電話嗎？
 
A: Yes, I do.At Ann's house I will call the phone company and have them check my line.If they can fix it right away without coming to my house, then we'll just return here.But if not, I need to wait at Ann's house to talk with the theater guild.It's very important to me.
 
要啊，我會的。在安的家，我會打電話給電話公司，請他們檢查我的線路。如果他們可以立刻修理，而不用來我家，那么我們就回來這里。但是如果不行，我需要在安的家等候和戲劇公會談。這對我來說非常重要。
 
B: Alright, let's go.
 
好，我們走吧。
 
A: Yes, let's go.
 
是的，我們走吧。
