社交生活篇：垃圾处理系统（5）

（单词翻译）

A: Hi, Tom. This is Hannah from apartment 4C.

B: Oh, hi, Hannah.

A: There is something wrong with my garbage disposal¹.

B: Exactly what's going on?

A: When I turn on the disposal switch², all I get is silence.

B: When did this happen?

A: Well, about a week ago is when it started sounding strange.

B: Did you accidentally³ drop something in the disposal?

A: No. I only use it about once a week. I hardly ever put anything into it.

B: Actually, I've heard that too little use is bad for a disposal.

A: Well, no one ever told me that.

B: Did you try to turn it with the disposal key?

A: I don't have a key.

B: Well, I've got a spare key, so I'll come over to show you how to use it.

A: Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.

B: If the key doesn't work, I'll have to call the repairman.

A: Well, if it doesn't work, it's no big deal.

B: Yes, but if something's broken, I like to get it fixed⁴ ASAP.
