地道美語聽力播客870：使用電池供電

Using Battery Power

使用電池供電

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

路易莎：我電腦的電池快沒有電了。

Allesandro: Did you bring a spare?

亞歷山大：你帶備用電池了嗎?

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：這是可充電的，所以不用換電池。只需要充電就行，可是這里沒有電源插座。

Allesandro: I don’t see one either.

亞歷山大：我也沒有看到。

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。我就在手機上把這部電影看完吧。天啊，不是吧!我的手機也快沒電了~這個電池的容量比較高，不太費電啊，應(yīng)該是可以用一整天的。不知道出什么問題了。

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

亞歷山大：要么我把收音機借給你，至少，你可以聽會音樂。

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

路易莎：收音機?你說的是老式的收音機?

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

亞歷山大：對啊，它使用一次性電池，我可以買很多的電池啊。

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：還是不要了，謝謝啊。我認(rèn)為收音機也幫不了大忙。可能周圍有什么應(yīng)急的發(fā)電裝置，我只需要電量能支撐我看完這部電影就行。

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.

亞歷山大：我也認(rèn)為起不了太大的幫之。還有，那個緊急的發(fā)電裝置時是用于緊急情況的。只有在電源故障的時候，才會使用的。

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

路易莎：對啊!有什么比不知道一部電影的結(jié)局更讓人著急的呢?
