聽力每日練習(xí) listen 908 Plumber
1--Good afternoon! Did you call for a plumber?
2--Yes, yes I did. Please come in! I’m so glad you came! This old house is falling apart! Come on into the
bathroom. See, here, there’s water leaking everywhere!
1--I see. Let me have a look. It seems that your toilet is clogged, and that’s why it won’t flush. Let me just get
my plunger. No, that’s not working either. I suspect that there’s some sort of foreign object in the pipes that‘s
causing a blockage. That’s what’s making your toilet overflow.
2--Oh, that must be because of my four-year-old daughter. She is always flushing things down the toilet. You know
how kids are.
1--Yeah, I have a little one myself. Anyway, these water pipes are really rusty, so they also should be changed. That
could be causing water to not drain completely; that might lead to more problems in the future. I would also suggest
fixing this faucet that isn’t shutting off properly. I could have it all finished by today if it’s urgent.
2--That would be great! Is it expensive?
1--Let’s see... I would say about eight hundred dollars.
2--What? That’s more than I make in a day and I’m a heart surgeon!

1--下午好，是你打電話叫水管修理工嗎？
2--是的。請進(jìn)。你能來我很高興。這所老房子在崩塌。進(jìn)盥洗室來看看吧，到處都在漏水。
1--我看見了，讓我檢查一下。看上去你的廁所堵了，那就是不能沖洗的原因。讓我用馬桶搋子試下看。這個也不管用。我想是管道中有異物引起了堵塞。那是馬桶溢水的原因。
2--那是因?yàn)槲宜臍q的女兒。她總是往廁所里扔?xùn)|西。你知道小孩子總是那樣的。
1--使得，我自己也有個小孩子。無論如何，這些水管確實(shí)生銹了，所以應(yīng)該換掉。那就是導(dǎo)致水不能排盡的原因，將來可能會導(dǎo)致更多問題。我建議安裝個不會導(dǎo)致切斷水源的水龍頭。如果很經(jīng)濟(jì)，我今天就能裝完。
2--那太好了，有點(diǎn)貴嗎？
1--讓我算下……大概800美元。
2--什么？那比我一天掙得都多，而且我是個心臟外科醫(yī)生。
2--Yes, yes I did. Please come in! I’m so glad you came! This old house is falling apart! Come on into the
