真的？我一点都不知道，我来查查看。是的，它毫无声响，没有拨号音。
bSo 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.
aBut this is terrible. I'm expecting important calls.
但是这下惨了，我正在等很重要的电话。
bAbout what?

嗯，你唯一能做的就是告诉电话公司，希望他们能赶快修理好。
aDo you have a cell phone?

bNo. I hate cell phones.But you could go to a neighbor's house and use their phone.
没有，我讨厌移动电话。但是你可以去一位邻居家用他们的电话。
aCan 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.
bYes, of course I can drive you.So you don't want to get your phone fixed right away?
好的，当然我可以载你。那么你不马上叫人修电话吗？
aYes, 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.
