純正地道美語 第274期(外教講解):修理工
A: The air conditioning is not working! We need to call a handyman before we start to fry in here!
B: Dan is on top of that. I think they are also getting the handyman to fix the bathroom toilet that keeps clogging up.
A: That would be convenient. They might as well ask him to fix the electrical wiring. The circuit breakers keep going out all the time. It’s really annoying!
B: Yeah you are right. This office is falling apart! Frank told me the other day that the gutters outside were clogged and that’s why the parking lot was flooded.
A: I know! I was in ankle deep water trying to get to my car that day! The handyman definitely has his work cut out for him.

A: 空調不工作了。我們開始在這裏工作前，我們得給修理工打電話。
B: 除此之外。我想他們也得讓修理工修下衛生間的馬桶，馬桶總是堵塞。
A: 那樣就方便多了。他們也許會讓修理工裝好電線。總是發生短路。真煩人。
B: 你說得對。這個辦公室正在一點點瓦解。有天Frank告訴我排水溝堵了，那就是停車場經常被淹的原因。
A: 我知道。那天我在齊腳深的水中試圖發動車子。修理工肯定偷懶了。
