ing-bottom: 66.67%;">月話費最高的人:美國弗某女話費20多萬美元

A South Florida woman got a shock when she opened a recent cell phone bill: she owed $201,000.
一位南福羅裏達州女性收到近期話費賬單時震驚了:她欠電信公司20萬零1千美元。

It was no mistake.
這不是話費公司搞錯了。

Celina Aarons has her two deaf-mute brothers on her plan. They communicate by texting and use their phones to watch videos. Normally, that's not a problem. Aarons has the appropriate data plan and her bill is about $175.
欠下如此高額話費不是Celina Aarons一個人乾的,還有她的兩個聾啞人兄弟。他們用短信聯繫,並且用他們的電話看視頻、一般來說,這也不是什麼大問題。所以Aarons的正常話費應該是175美元。

But her brothers spent two weeks in Canada and Aarons never changed to an international plan. Her brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 in data charges.
但是她的兄弟們在加拿大待了兩星期卻沒有換國際套餐。她的兄弟們發了2000多條短信,還下了視頻,所以這部分的通訊費達到了2千美元。

When Aarons read the bill -- all 43 pages of it -- she realized she owed $201,005.44.
當Aarons看到賬單——整整43頁的賬單——她發現自己欠了20萬1千零5塊44美分。

"I was freaking out," Aarons told the news station WSVN. "I was shaking, crying, I couldn't even talk that much on the phone. I was like my life is over!"
“我當時嚇壞了,”Aarons接受WSVN新聞採訪時說。“我嚇得發抖、大哭,在電話裏我都說不出話來了。我覺得我的生活都玩完了。”

Thankfully, T-mobile agreed to lower the bill to a more manageable $2,500 and gave Aarons six months to pay up, WSVN reports.
據WSVN報道,幸好T-mobile公司同意將花費減少到比較能接受的2千5百美元話費,並讓Aarons在六個月內還上這筆錢。
