1-- Tom, are you there? It's Hannah from 4C.
2-- Hey, Hannah. Long time no hear from.
1-- My garbage disposal refuses to work.
2-- What happens when you turn on the switch?
1-- When I turn on the switch, nothing happens.
2-- When did you first notice this?
1-- A week ago it started sounding different.
2-- Did you put something in it that you shouldn't have?
1-- I use it rarely. When I do use it, I put pasta or other soft food into it.
2-- Maybe you haven't been using the disposal enough.
1-- Sort of like an air conditioner in your home or car?
2-- Exactly. However, sometimes you can get it going again by using the key.
1-- What key?
2-- A disposal key. I've got a spare one, so I'll come over to show you.
1-- Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.
2-- If the key doesn't correct the problem, I'll have to call someone.
1-- Well, like I said, I rarely use it so it won't be a problem.
2-- Well, it's my nature to fix things as soon as I can.

1-- 一周前,情况开始有所不同。
2-- 你放了什么不该放的东西吗?

2-- 也许你对垃圾处理机的使用还不够。
1-- 有点像你家里或车里的空调?
2-- 确实,然而,有时你可以通过使用钥匙让它重新启动。
1-- 什么钥匙?
2-- 处置机的钥匙。我有一个备用的,所以我会过来给你看。
1-- 好吧,现在过来,告诉我如何使用它。
2-- 如果钥匙不能解决问题,我就得打电话给别人。
