社交生活篇:找物业(1)(在线收听) |
A: This is John Smith in unit 23. Is this the apartment manager? B: Hi. What do you need today? A: I've got a broken living room window. B: I'm sorry about that. How did it get broken? A: I've got a good idea, but I'm not exactly sure. B: Well, why don't you give me a few details? A: I would bet a dollar to a dime that it's one of the local kids. B: Do you have any support for that charge? A: A baseball was on my living room carpet. I don't own a baseball. B: Well, it sounds like someone hit a home run. A: I saw them playing ball in the lot just before I went to the market. B: Do you know for sure who they were? A: All I did was glance at them before I left. B: If you like, I'll call a repairman, but it might take a few days. A: How about if I call my friend? He's a repairman and could probably fix it today. B: Sure. Let me come over to see the damage right now, though. A: Sure, come on over, but tell me, do I have to pay for this? B: You're not responsible, so you don't pay. Tell him to bill me. A: Well, lucky me. I was afraid that I was going to get stuck for the bill. B: Maybe I'll install a camera on that end of the building to catch these kids.
A:我是23单元的约翰·史密斯。这是公寓经理吗? B:嗨。你今天需要什么? A:我的客厅窗户破了。 B:很抱歉。它是怎么坏的? A:我有个想法,但我不太确定。 B:好吧,你为什么不告诉我一些细节呢? A:我敢打赌那是当地的一个孩子。 B:你对那项指控有什么证据吗? A:我客厅的地毯上有一个棒球。我没有棒球。 B:嗯,听起来好像有人打出了一支全垒打。 A:就在我去市场之前,我看见他们在停车场打球。 B:你确定他们是谁吗? A:我所做的就是在离开前看了他们一眼。 B:如果你愿意,我会叫修理工,但可能需要几天时间。 A:我打电话给我的朋友怎么样?他是个修理工,可能今天就能修好。 B:当然可以。不过,现在让我过来看看损坏情况。 A:当然可以,过来吧,但是告诉我,我必须为此付费吗? B:你没有责任,所以你不付钱。告诉他给我开账单。 A:我真幸运。我担心我会被账单缠住。 B:也许我会在大楼的那头安装一个摄像头来捕捉这些孩子。 |
