高级英语对话 第 103 课：垃圾处置-2

A: Tom, are you there? It's Hannah from 4C.
B: Hey, Hannah. Long time no hear from.
A: My garbage disposal refuses to work.
B: What happens when you turn on the switch?
A: When I turn on the switch, nothing happens.
B: When did you first notice this?
A: A week ago it started sounding different.
B: Did you put something in it that you shouldn't have?
A: I use it rarely. When I do use it, I put pasta or other soft food into it.
B: Maybe you haven't been using the disposal enough.
A: Sort of like an air conditioner in your home or car?
B: Exactly. However, sometimes you can get it going again by using the key.
A: What key?
B: A disposal key. I've got a spare one, so I'll come over to show you.
A: Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.
B: If the key doesn't correct the problem, I'll have to call someone.
A: Well, like I said, I rarely use it so it won't be a problem.
B: Well, it's my nature to fix things as soon as I can.
