社交生活篇：找物业（3）

（单词翻译）

A: This is Janet Smith in apartment 23. May I speak to the apartment manager?

B: Speaking. What can I do for you?

A: Something happened to my window. It's broken.

B: That doesn't sound good. Do you know how it happened?

A: I don't know the exact details.

B: Do you have an idea who might be responsible¹ for the window?

A: I'm almost sure it is the local kids in the apartments.

B: How did you come to that conclusion?

A: There was a baseball in my living room along with the broken glass.

B: Well, at least there's no mystery about how it happened.

A: I saw a group of them playing in the lot just before I went out to my car.

B: Can you tell me which ones you recognized?

A: I just looked at them for a second.

B: I'll call a repairman, but it might take two days.

A: How about if I call a friend of mine who is a repairman?

B: That's no problem. I'll come by right now to look at the damage.

A: Okay. Come on over. But tell me, who pays for this?

B: You can pay for it, and I can reimburse² you. Or he can bill me directly³.

A: I'm glad to hear that. I didn't want to get stuck with the bill.

B: I will bill the kid's parents if I ever find out which kid did it.

 

A:我是23号公寓的珍妮特·史密斯。我可以和公寓经理通话吗？

B:我是。我能为你做些什么？

A:我的窗户出毛病了。它坏了。

B:听起来不太好。你知道这是怎么发生的吗？

A:我不知道确切的细节。

B:你知道谁会对窗户负责吗？

A:我几乎可以肯定是公寓里的当地孩子。

你是怎么得出这个结论的？

A:我的客厅里有一个棒球和碎玻璃。

B:嗯，至少事情是怎么发生的并不神秘。

A:就在我开车出去之前，我看到他们在停车场玩。

B:你能告诉我你认识哪些吗？

A:我只是看了一会儿。

B:我会打电话给修理工，但可能需要两天时间。

A:如果我给我的一个朋友打电话，他是修理工，怎么样？

B:没问题。我马上过来看看损坏情况。

A:好的。过来。但是告诉我，谁来付钱？

B:你可以付钱，我来报销。或者他可以直接给我开账单。

A:听到这个消息我很高兴。我不想被账单缠住。

B:如果我知道是哪个孩子干的，我会给孩子的父母开账单。
