Using Battery Power

使用电池供电

Luisa: The battery on my computer is almost out of juice.

路易莎：我电脑的电池快没有电了。

Allesandro: Did you bring a spare?

亚历山大：你带备用电池了吗?

Luisa: It’s a rechargeable battery, so instead of replacing it, I need to plug it in, but there are no outlets in here.

路易莎：这是可充电的，所以不用换电池。只需要充电就行，可是这里没有电源插座。

Allesandro: I don’t see one either.

亚历山大：我也没有看到。

Luisa: Forget it. I’ll just finish watching the movie on my phone. Oh no, my phone battery is running low, too. It’s a high-capacity battery and is supposed to discharge slowly, giving me a full day of power. I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

路易莎：算了。我就在手机上把这部电影看完吧。天啊，不是吧!我的手机也快没电了~这个电池的容量比较高，不太费电啊，应该是可以用一整天的。不知道出什么问题了。

Allesandro: Do you want to borrow my radio? At least you can listen to music for a while.

亚历山大：要么我把收音机借给你，至少，你可以听会音乐。

Luisa: A radio? You mean an old-fashioned radio?

路易莎：收音机?你说的是老式的收音机?

Allesandro: Yeah, it uses disposable batteries and I brought plenty.

亚历山大：对啊，它使用一次性电池，我可以买很多的电池啊。

Luisa: No, thanks. I don’t think a radio will do me any good. Maybe there’s an emergency generator around here. I just need enough electricity to finish watching my movie.

路易莎：还是不要了，谢谢啊。我认为收音机也帮不了大忙。可能周围有什么应急的发电装置，我只需要电量能支撑我看完这部电影就行。

Allesandro: I don’t think that will do you any good, and plus, the emergency generator is supposed to be used for emergencies and only in the event of a power failure.

亚历山大：我也认为起不了太大的帮之。还有，那个紧急的发电装置时是用于紧急情况的。只有在电源故障的时候，才会使用的。

Luisa: Exactly! What can be more of an emergency than not knowing how a movie ends?

路易莎：对啊!有什么比不知道一部电影的结局更让人着急的呢?
