Daniel: Dad, something wrong with our washing machine and a lot of clothes need to be wash. What should I do about it?
Dad: Ur, I am busy with my work. There is a coin-operated washing machine on the first floor. Let’s go.
Daniel: Coin-operated washing machine? That sounds interesting.
Dad: You just have to follow the instructions and put three coins in the slot of that washing machine.
Daniel: So easy! Do I need to put some washing powder in?
Dad: No, you needn’t. That’s an automatic washer; all we need to do is just put the clothes in and then press the power button.
Daniel: Does it dry the clothes too?
Dad: Yes. It spins and dries the clothes and also sterilizes them after that. Pick up the clothes. Let’s go.
(A short while)
Daniel: Dad, put three coins in this slot, right? Does it work if I put in two?
Dad: If you put two, it doesn’t work; and if you put four, it will refund one. Believe it or not, see for yourself.
Daniel: Dad, I put four in as you said but it doesn’t refund anything. Something wrong?
Dad: Oh, the coin gets snapped. Let me see. Ur, press the button and then refund. OK, have a try.
Daniel: It still doesn’t work. Ur, there is a sign that says we can call this number 80081234 if the coin couldn’t be refunded. Let’s have a try.
Dad: Well, forget it.
Daniel: But it doesn’t work now. We couldn’t do our laundry.
Dad: Oh, my God. Would you like to wash them with hand?
Daniel: I’m afraid not.
聽看學(xué)
丹尼爾：爸爸，我們的洗衣機(jī)壞了，好多衣服要洗呢。怎么辦呢？
爸爸：恩，我在忙我的工作呢。一樓有一個(gè)投幣洗衣機(jī)，我們?nèi)グ伞?br />
丹尼爾：投幣洗衣機(jī)？聽起來很有趣。
爸爸：你只需要按照說明，投三個(gè)硬幣在洗衣機(jī)的投幣孔里就行了。
丹尼爾：這么簡單！我需要加洗衣粉進(jìn)去嗎？
爸爸：不，不需要。那是自動(dòng)洗衣機(jī)，我們需要做的就是把衣服放進(jìn)去，然后按電源按鈕。
丹尼爾：它也能甩干衣服嗎？
爸爸：是的。它旋轉(zhuǎn)甩干衣服，然后對(duì)其進(jìn)行消毒。帶上衣服，我們走吧。
（過了一小會(huì)兒）
丹尼爾：爸爸，投三個(gè)硬幣在這個(gè)投幣孔里，對(duì)吧？如果我投兩個(gè)它會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)嗎？
爸爸：如果你投兩個(gè)硬幣，它不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)；如果你投四個(gè)，它會(huì)退一個(gè)。信不信由你，試一試吧。
丹尼爾：爸爸，我像你說的投了四個(gè)硬幣，但是沒有退啊。壞了嗎？
爸爸：噢，吞幣了。我來看看。恩，按下按鈕，接著退幣。好了，試試吧。
丹尼爾：還是沒退幣啊。恩，這有個(gè)標(biāo)志牌上寫著如果不退幣請(qǐng)撥打80081234。我們?cè)囋嚢伞?br />
爸爸：噢，算了吧。
丹尼爾：但是它現(xiàn)在不轉(zhuǎn)啊。我們洗不了衣服了。
爸爸：噢，天哪。你愿意自己動(dòng)手洗嗎？
丹尼爾：不愿意。
