58 Listen to whom 聽(tīng)誰(shuí)講
Our flight was about to take off when the passenger behind me launched into a loud and annoying conference call on his cell phone. “Sally, get the customer lists. Charlie, pull all the data together we have. Bob, can you bring us up to date” and on and on. As the flight attendant began the preflight safety instructions, the executive's voice was drowned out by the PA system. I heard him mutter into the phone, “Hold on a second. Some people just like to hear themselves talk.”
我們的飛機(jī)剛要起飛,坐在我后面的乘客用他的手機(jī)開(kāi)起了電話會(huì)議,聲音又響又煩人。“莎麗,拿來(lái)客戶名單。查理,把我們現(xiàn)有的數(shù)據(jù)都調(diào)出來(lái)。羅伯特,你講一講最近的情況。”沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地講。當(dāng)空中小姐開(kāi)始起飛前的安全講解的時(shí)候,這位老板的聲音被廣播聲音壓過(guò)了。我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他對(duì)電話里嘀咕說(shuō):“等一會(huì)兒。有的人只想讓別人聽(tīng)他們講。”
