地道英语对话：Garbage Disposal(4)

A: Hello, Tom? This is Hannah in 4C.
B: Hi, Hannah. What can I do for you?
A: My garbage disposal went south.
B: Does it turn at all?
A: There is nothing but silence when I turn on the switch.
B: Did it die suddenly?
A: It started to make a weird¹ sound last week.
B: You didn't try to grind up a dead body, did you?
A: No, that's against the law, isn't it? I only use it on soft food, maybe once a week.
B: Strange as it seems, a disposal should be run frequently.
A: Once a week might not be enough, huh?
B: There's a key that will turn it manually to loosen it up.
A: Even if I could find this key, I wouldn't know how to use it.
B: How about if I bring one over and show you how to use it?
A: Great, come on over, and teach me all about garbage disposal keys.
B: The key isn't a guarantee. I still might have to call a repairman.
A: It's no big deal to me if you can fix it or not.
B: Well, we don't want the food that's in there to start to smell bad, do we?
