英语PK台 第126期:你知道哪些手机使用的礼仪?(2)

 Dialogue:

JJ:Hello?
京晶：喂？
XG:Hey, Jing Jing. It’s me,Xiao Gao!
小高：喂，京晶啊，是我，小高！
JJ:Xiao Gao! Why are you calling me? I　just sent you a text message! You just breached 2 an inexcusable cellphone etiquette 3 rule!
京晶：小高！你给我打电话干啥？不是刚给你发了条短信吗？你太不讲究手机使用礼仪了！
XG:Are you kidding me? There’s actually such　a thing called cell phone etiquette? Go on, tell me some of them!
小高：你…开什么玩笑呢？这世上还真有个叫“手机礼仪”的东东？说说吧，都有些什么规矩？
JJ:Well, you already know one　of them, never call someone after they sent you a text message. If　they wanted to talk on the phone, they would’ve called you. I was in an　important meeting just now and you totally embarrassed me.
京晶：喏，你已经知道其中一条了，如果某人给你发了一条短信后就不要再给他打电话，因为如果对方想跟你通话，他们会打给你的。我刚才正在开一个重要的会议，你（的来电）让我很尴尬。
XG:Geez, I’m sorry about that. What are some　other rules?　
小高：哇哦，那真是很抱歉，还有些什么其他的礼仪吗？
JJ:If you do actually send　me a text message, you shouldn’t take forever to do it! It seems　like I’m always waiting hours for you to respond. And you shouldn’t use your　phone or send messages when you’re at a restaurant with someone. Does　that ring a bell?
京晶：如果你给我发短信，就别花那么长时间，弄得好像我总是在等你的回复似的。还有当你在餐馆与别人在一起的时候，不要用手机或发短信，这个有提醒作用吗？
XG:Oh, yeah I guess I’m guilty of that one.You know what I don’t like? Is when someone responds with just “ok”in　their text message. It makes me feel like I’m not important enough　for them to write a longer message. And you know what really irks me　the most? When people talk on their cellphones at the movie theaters!
小高：哦，是的，这一点我还挺不好意思的，你知道我特别不喜欢什么行为吗？就是当有人只用短信给你回复一个“好的”时，这会让觉得我在对方眼中不够重要以致于不值得回复我一条长一点的信息。你知道我最抓狂的是什么吗？当有人在电影院里打电话！
JJ:Yeah, tell me about it! But do　you know what gets under my skin even more? When people talk　on their cellphones on the subway and on the bus! It’s so annoying!
京晶：完全同意！那你知道我更受不了什么吗？那些在地铁上，公车上打电话的人！简直太让人无法忍受了！
XG:Yesterday at lunch, Veronica made usall wait for her to take a picture of our food and upload it to　WeChat beforewe could start eating. I thought I was going to go crazy staring at the　food.
小高：昨天午餐的时候，薇若尼卡让我们干等着她给食物拍完照上传微信才让我们开始吃。我觉得让我盯着食物都要发疯了。
JJ:Oh, one other thing that drives me　nuts is when people speak too loudly into their phones. Hint 4 hint!
京晶：还有一件事让我无法忍受的是有些人很大声地讲电话，某人自觉啊！
XG:Oh, sorry, I’ll speak more quietly…
小高：哦，不好意思，我这就小点儿声说…
