对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    Thanks for calling before taking it down. Is the alarm beeping once a minute, or is it a full alarm sound?

    谢谢你在拆它之前先打电话。报警器是每分钟响一下,还是完整的报警声?

    中文提示

    It's a short beep about once a minute, not a continuous alarm. There's no smell of smoke either.

    大约每分钟发出一声短促的“哔”声,不是那种连续警报。也没有闻到烟味。

  2. 对话 2

    That usually means a low battery or a fault, but please don't remove the alarm from the ceiling.

    这通常表示电池电量低或有故障,但请不要把报警器从天花板上拆下来。

    中文提示

    Okay, I won't remove it. What should I do if it keeps beeping tonight?

    好的,我不拆。那今晚一直响的话我该怎么办?

  3. 对话 3

    There should be a backup alarm in the hallway cupboard. Test it now, and keep both doors open overnight.

    走廊柜子里应该有一个备用报警器。现在测试一下,今晚把两扇门都开着。

    中文提示

    I'll look for it. If the test button makes a sound, is that enough?

    我去找一下。测试按钮按下去有声音就可以吗?
