1-- This is Janet Smith in apartment 23. May I speak to the apartment manager?

2-- Speaking. What can I do for you?

1-- Something happened to my window. It's broken.

2-- That doesn't sound good. Do you know how it happened?

1-- I don't know the exact details.

2-- Do you have an idea who might be responsible for the window?

1-- I'm almost sure it is the local kids in the apartments.

2-- How did you come to that conclusion?

1-- There was a baseball in my living room along with the broken glass.

2-- Well, at least there's no mystery about how it happened.

1-- I saw a group of them playing in the lot just before I went out to my car.

2-- Can you tell me which ones you recognized?

1-- I just looked at them for a second.

2-- I'll call a repairman, but it might take two days.

1-- How about if I call a friend of mine who is a repairman?

2-- That's no problem. I'll come by right now to look at the damage.

1-- Okay. Come on over. But tell me, who pays for this?

2-- You can pay for it, and I can reimburse you. Or he can bill me directly.

1-- I'm glad to hear that. I didn't want to get stuck with the bill.

2-- I will bill the kid's parents if I ever find out which kid did it.

1-- 我是23号公寓的珍妮特·史密斯。我可以和公寓经理通话吗？

2-- 说吧。我能为你做什么？

1-- 我的窗户出了点事。它坏了。

2-- 这听起来不太好。你知道事情是怎么发生的吗？

1-- 我不知道确切的细节。

2-- 你知道谁可能负责窗户吗？

1-- 我几乎可以肯定是公寓里的当地孩子。

2-- 你是怎么得出这个结论的？

1-- 我的客厅里有一个棒球和碎玻璃。

2-- 好吧，至少它是怎么发生的并不神秘。

1-- 就在我下车之前，我看到一群人在停车场里玩。

2-- 你能告诉我你认出了哪些吗？

1-- 我只是看了他们一会儿。

2-- 我会叫修理工，但可能需要两天时间。

1-- 如果我打电话给我的一个修理工朋友怎么样？

2-- 这没问题。我现在就过来看看损坏情况。

1-- 可以过来。但告诉我，谁来买单？

2-- 你可以付钱，我可以报销。或者他可以直接给我开账单。

1-- 听到这个我很高兴。我不想被账单卡住。

2-- 如果我发现是哪个孩子干的，我会给孩子的父母开账单。
