Paul: I need a new cell phone plan. These roaming and overage charges are killing me!
保羅:我需要一個(gè)新的手機(jī)套餐。手機(jī)漫游,超額收費(fèi)太貴了,我受不了啊!
Shauna: I thought you had a good calling, messaging, and data plan.
肖娜:我認(rèn)為你現(xiàn)在打電話,發(fā)短信,和流量套餐都很實(shí)惠啊。
Paul: I do, but I’m still going over each month.
保羅:是很實(shí)惠,但是我每月還是會(huì)超啊。
Shauna: Have you thought about a prepaid plan? You’ll never be charged extra.
肖娜:你想沒想過換一個(gè)預(yù)付套餐,那樣你就永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)再支付額外費(fèi)用了。
Paul: That’s not an option. I think I need an unlimited plan.
保羅:這個(gè)不行,我感覺我需要一個(gè)無限制套餐。
Shauna: Okay, but I don’t understand. Why do you have roaming charges? Doesn’t your carrier have good coverage all over the country?
肖娜:好吧,但是我不知道,你為什么會(huì)有漫游費(fèi)呢?你的移動(dòng)信號未覆蓋全國嗎?
Paul: I’ve been taking trips to Mexico to see my new girlfriend and the coverage doesn’t extend to Mexico.
保羅:我去了幾趟墨西哥,移動(dòng)信號并未覆蓋到墨西哥。
Shauna: Oh, I see. And the overage charges?
肖娜:哦,原來是這樣啊。那超額收費(fèi)又是怎么回事?
Paul: When you’re in a long-distance relationship, you have to do a lot of calling and texting, not to mention updating social media websites to stay in touch. I keep exceeding my allotted 5000 minutes of calling time and 100 megabytes of data.
保羅:當(dāng)你處于一段異地戀中,你就要打很多電話,發(fā)很多短信,更不要提還要一直更新社交網(wǎng)站來保持聯(lián)系啦。我的套餐里有5000分鐘的通話和100兆流量,但是我還是不夠用。
Shauna: What?! To exceed that, you’d have to be on the phone all the time!
肖娜:什么?這都不夠用,你一定是一直在打電話。
Paul: Not all the time, but I’m talking to her now. Do you want to say “hi”?
保羅:不是一直啊,但現(xiàn)在我正在和她打電話。你想打個(gè)招呼嗎?
Shauna: You’ve been on the phone with her the entire time we’ve been having this conversation?
肖娜:我們談話的這整段時(shí)間,你都在和她著打電話啊?
Paul: How else can we keep up on everything that’s going on in each other’s lives?
保羅:要不我們怎么與對方分享彼此生活里的每件事呢?
Paul: I need a new cell phone plan. These roaming and overage charges are killing me!
Shauna: I thought you had a good calling, messaging, and data plan.
Paul: I do, but I’m still going over each month.
Shauna: Have you thought about a prepaid plan? You’ll never be charged extra.
