英语情景对话

A:Excuse me. I get confused that the two phones on the booth are different you tell me how to use them?

A:打扰了。我弄不明白这个电话亭里怎么会有两种不同的电话。你能告诉我怎么使用这两种电话吗？

B:Let me have a look. Oh, yes. This one is the IC phone and the other is the coin phone. If you have an IC card, you can insert it into this slot, wait for the dialing signal appearing on the small screen, and then dial the number of the person you are going to call.

B:让我看看。哦，是不一样。这种是IC卡电话，那种是投币电话。如果你有IC卡，你可以把它插进槽孔里，等到小屏幕上显示的文字提醒你拨号时，你就可以拨对方的号码了。

A:Well, I see. How to use the other one?

A:哦，我明白了。怎么用另一个？

B:First, you pick up the receiver, wait for the dialing signal, dial the number, and then put the coin into the slot, press the "speak" button. Then everything is done.

B:你先拿起听筒，等有了拨号信号，就拨你要打的电话号码，然后把硬币放进小孔里，按一下“通话”键，一切就搞定了。

A:It seems quite easy. I will try both of them.

A:看起来还是挺容易的。我两种都试试。
