昂贵的手机话费(双语有声)《ESL播客》
Paul:I need a new cell phone plan. These roaming and overage charges are killing me!保罗：我需要一个新的话费套餐。手机漫游，超额收费贵，真是要命！
Shauna:I thought you had a good calling, messaging, and data plan.萨娜：我觉得你的通话，短信还有流量套餐都很实惠啊。
Paul:I do, but I'm still going over each month.保罗：是的，但我每个月还是会用超。
Shauna:Have you thought about a prepaid plan? You'll never be charged extra.萨娜：你有没有想过预付费？这样就永远不会被多收费了。
Paul:That's not an option. I think I need an unlimited plan.保罗：这不是个办法。我觉得我需要一个不限价套餐。
Shauna:Okay, but I don't understand. Why do you have roaming charges? Doesn't your carrier have good coverage all over the country?萨娜：好吧，但是我不明白。为什么你手机会漫游？你用的移动信号难道没有覆盖到全国？
Paul:I've been taking trips to Mexico to see my new girlfriend and the coverage doesn't extend to Mexico.保罗：我去了几次墨西哥，去看我的新女朋友，但是移动信号没有覆盖到墨西哥。
Shauna:Oh, I see. And the overage charges?萨娜：欧，明白了。那么超额收费是什么？
Paul:When you're in a long-distance relationship, you have to do a lot of calling and texting, not to mention updating social media websites to stay in touch. I keep exceeding my allotted 5000 minutes of calling time and 100 megabytes of data.保罗：谈一场异地恋时，肯定会有许多电话和短信，更别提在社交媒体网站更新自己的信息，以保持联系。套餐内有5000分钟的通话，100兆的流量，但我还是一直不够用。
Shauna:What?! To exceed that, you'd have to be on the phone all the time!萨娜：什么？！那么多还不够用，你一定是在一直打电话！
Paul:Not all the time, but I'm talking to her now. Do you want to say “hi”?保罗：不是一直，但现在我是在跟她讲电话。你想打一声招呼吗？
Shauna:You've been on the phone with her the entire time we've been having this conversation?萨娜：在我们谈话的同时，你一直在跟她通话？
Paul:How else can we keep up on everything that's going on in each other's lives?保罗：不然我们怎么与对方分享生活里发生的每件事呢？
