地道美语听力播客619:手机套餐（双语）

Paul: I need a new cell phone plan. These roaming and overage charges are killing me!

保罗:我需要一个新的手机套餐。手机漫游，超额收费太贵了，我受不了啊!

Shauna: I thought you had a good calling, messaging, and data plan.

肖娜：我认为你现在打电话，发短信，和流量套餐都很实惠啊。

Paul: I do, but I’m still going over each month.

保罗:是很实惠，但是我每月还是会超啊。

Shauna: Have you thought about a prepaid plan? You’ll never be charged extra.

肖娜：你想没想过换一个预付套餐，那样你就永远都不会再支付额外费用了。

Paul: That’s not an option. I think I need an unlimited plan.

保罗:这个不行，我感觉我需要一个无限制套餐。

Shauna: Okay, but I don’t understand. Why do you have roaming charges? Doesn’t your carrier have good coverage all over the country?

肖娜：好吧，但是我不知道，你为什么会有漫游费呢?你的移动信号未覆盖全国吗?

Paul: I’ve been taking trips to Mexico to see my new girlfriend and the coverage doesn’t extend to Mexico.

保罗:我去了几趟墨西哥，移动信号并未覆盖到墨西哥。

Shauna: Oh, I see. And the overage charges?

肖娜：哦，原来是这样啊。那超额收费又是怎么回事?

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:当你处于一段异地恋中，你就要打很多电话，发很多短信，更不要提还要一直更新社交网站来保持联系啦。我的套餐里有5000分钟的通话和100兆流量，但是我还是不够用。

Shauna: What?! To exceed that, you’d have to be on the phone all the time!

肖娜：什么?这都不够用，你一定是一直在打电话。

Paul: Not all the time, but I’m talking to her now. Do you want to say “hi”?

保罗:不是一直啊，但现在我正在和她打电话。你想打个招呼吗?

Shauna: You’ve been on the phone with her the entire time we’ve been having this conversation?

肖娜：我们谈话的这整段时间，你都在和她着打电话啊?

Paul: How else can we keep up on everything that’s going on in each other’s lives?

保罗:要不我们怎么与对方分享彼此生活里的每件事呢?
