Victor: Hi,大家好,我是Victor,
Nancy: Nancy!
Victor: 今天我们讨论的Topic是:
Nancy:The air conditioner isn't working.
Victor: 空调不工作了。
Nancy:This is something you can tell the reception desk at the hotel, or your landlord if it's your apartment
Victor:当你的空调不好用的时候,这句话可以对宾馆前台说,也可以跟你的房东说。
Nancy:Remember, that in western countries, air conditioner is only for cool air, not for hot air, that's called a heater. If you say, “my room is too cold, turn on the air conditioner,” people will have no idea what you're talking about.
Victor:但是呢,在西方国家,air conditioner只是用来制冷的,如果用来取暖的,他们用另外一个词叫heater.所以如果你和他们说我的air conditioner没有暖风,他们会觉得很奇怪。
Nancy:The air conditioner isn't working.
Victor:The air conditioner isn't working.
Nancy: That's all for today. See you!
Victor: See you!
