（单词翻译）

I got two tickets to a show at the last minute and I tried to find someone to go with me. First, I called Amanda. The phone rang and rang and then her answering machine picked up.

"Hi, I'm not in right now. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Amanda wasn't home or she was screening her calls. I didn't want to leave a message and decided1 to try Celia. The phone rang about six times and then I heard,

"This is the voicemail for Celia. Leave me a message after the long beep. Or, you can try my cell2 phone at 213-555-1212. Have a nice day.‚"

By this time, I was starting to feel discouraged3. I didn't want to go to the show by myself, so I tried one last time. I called Leslie at work.

"Hello, you've reached the office of Leslie Munroe. I am in a meeting or with a client4. I'm sorry to miss your call. Please stay on the line and leave a detailed5 message. I will return your call as soon as I can. Thank you for calling.‚"

I decided to leave a message. Leslie called me right back and we made plans for the show. We had a great time.
