Benjamin: That was really a nightmare 1!


Shirley: Honey, what's up?


Benjamin: I was stuck between 15th and 16th floors in the elevator.


Shirley: Oh, really? I know that telephone signal must have been shielded 3 in the elevator shaft 4, so what did you do then?


Benjamin: I pressed the emergency button! And then I stayed in the elevator waiting for the rescue.


Shirley: Did you panic at the time?


Benjamin: A little bit, but I know that the elevator isn't enclosed 5; at least I wouldn't be smothered 7 there.


Shirley: Was there anyone else with you?


Benjamin: Of course, there are 6 other people in the elevator; they were so scared that someone even started crying.


Shirley: So you mean that you were the only brave one there?


Benjamin: Yes. I have to call the property management.


Shirley: For what? Complaining about what happened in the elevator?


Benjamin: Yes. They should check the elevator regularly. I have to give them something to remember about, and they should also equip fire extinguishers in the building.


Shirley: That was just an accident; you are worried too much about it. I think the property management will check the elevator and improve their service from now on.


Benjamin: I know what you mean, but I'd better remind them again, and also remind them to repair the button in the elevator for the disabled people. That has brought the disabled people lots of inconvenience.


Shirley: OK, OK, you are always so caring for all the people.

本杰明:那简直就是场噩梦!


雪莉:怎么了,亲爱的?


本杰明:我乘坐的电梯在15层与16层之间卡住了。


雪莉:噢,是吗?我知道在电梯里,电话的信号会被屏蔽,那么你是怎么做的呢?


本杰明:我按了警铃。然后就待在电梯里等待救助。


雪莉:你那时惊慌吗?


本杰明:有一点儿,但是我知道电梯不是封闭的,至少在里面我不会窒息。


雪莉:那电梯里还有其他人吗?


本杰明:当然有啊,还有另外6个人在电梯里。他们非常害怕,有些人甚至被吓哭了。


雪莉:那你的意思是说你是电梯里最勇敢的人?


本杰明:当然了。我要给物业打电话。


雪莉:为什么啊?去抱怨电梯里发生的事儿?


本杰明:对啊。他们应该经常对电梯进行修检。我要让他们记住这个教训,还要让他们给大楼安装一些消防设施。


雪莉:那只是一场意外,你太多虑了。我认为物业从现在开始会经常检修电梯,而且也会改善他们的服务的。


本杰明:我知道你的意思,但是我最好还是再去提醒他们一下,还得提醒他们去修一下电梯里残疾人用的按钮。那给残疾人带来很多不便。


雪莉:好好好,你总是对所有人的事都那么关心。


Recitation 经典背诵



Benjamin: That's really a nightmare! I came across an elevator fault today. But I didn't feel panic in the elevator. Because I know that elevator is not the enclosed equipment, and I won't smother 6 there. Instead, all people around me worried that so much, and some even cried. I think the best way is to stay calm. Crying can't solve the problem. Also, I have to call to remind the property management to check the elevator regularly.
