1-- Hi, Tom. This is Hannah calling.
2-- Hi, Hannah. What's up?
1-- I think my garbage disposal kicked the bucket.
2-- Is it dying, or is it dead?
1-- Turning on the switch is the same as not turning on the switch.
2-- Did it make strange sounds before it croaked?
1-- Last week I noticed that it sounded strange.
2-- You haven't been putting mango or avocado seeds in there, have you?
1-- I use the disposal rarely. When I do use it, I put only soft food into it.
2-- I think a disposal freezes up when it's not used frequently.
1-- You mean it's sort of like use it or lose it?
2-- Try loosening it up by using the disposal key.
1-- Disposal key? I have a house key and a car key, but no disposal key.
2-- Well, I've got an extra key. I'll bring it over.
1-- Okay, Come on over, and show me how to fix this thing.
2-- Sometimes the key works, sometimes it doesn't. I still might have to call a plumber.
1-- Well, there's no big hurry, as far as I am concerned.
2-- If we don't fix it sometime, your apartment might start to attract bugs or rodents.

1--嗨,汤姆。我是Hannah打来的。
2--你好,汉娜。怎么了?
1--我觉得我的垃圾处理机很糟糕。
2--它是停止运转了,还是不运行了?
1--打开开关和不打开开关是一样的。
2--它沙哑之前发出奇怪的声音了吗?
1--上周我注意到这听起来很奇怪。
2--你没有在里面放芒果或鳄梨籽,是吗?
1--我很少使用这种处理方式。当我用它的时候,我只在里面放软性食物。
2--我认为,如果不经常使用,处理机就会变呆板。
1--你的意思是继续用还是丢了它?
2--试着用报废钥匙将其松开。
1--报废钥匙?我有一把房子钥匙和一把车钥匙,但没有丢弃钥匙。
2--嗯,我有一把额外的钥匙。我会把它带来的。
1--好吧,过来,告诉我如何修理这个东西。
2--有时钥匙有效,有时无效。我可能还得打电话给水管工。
1--嗯,就我而言,太匆忙了。
2--如果我们不改天修复,你的公寓可能会开始吸引虫子或啮齿动物。
