丹尼尔：爸爸，我们的洗衣机坏了，好多衣服要洗呢。怎么办呢？
Daniel: Dad, something wrong with our washing machine and a lot of clothes need to be wash. What should I do about it?
爸爸：恩，我在忙我的工作呢。一楼有一个投币洗衣机，我们去吧。
Dad: Ur, I am busy with my work. There is a coin-operated washing machine on the first floor. Let’s go.
丹尼尔：投币洗衣机？听起来很有趣。
Daniel: Coin-operated washing machine? That sounds interesting.
爸爸：你只需按照说明，投三个硬币在洗衣机的投币孔里就行了。
Dad: You just have to follow the instructions and put three coins in the slot of that washing machine.
丹尼尔：这么简单！我需要加洗衣粉进去吗？
Daniel: So easy! Do I need to put some washing powder in?
爸爸：不，不需要。那是自动洗衣机，我们需要做的是就是把衣服放进去，然后按电源按钮。
Dad: No, you needn’t. That’s an automatic washer; all we need to do is just put the clothes in and then press the power button.
丹尼尔：它也能甩干衣服吗？
Daniel: Does it dry the clothes too?
爸爸：是的。它旋转甩干衣服，然后对其进行消毒。带上衣服，我们走吧。
Dad: Yes, It spins and dries the clothes and also sterilizes them after that. Pick up the clothes. Let’s go.

(A short while)
丹尼尔：爸爸，投三个硬币在这个投币孔里对吧？如果我投两个它会转吗？
Daniel: Dad, put three coins in this slot, right? Does it work if I put in two?
爸爸：如果你投两个硬币，它不会转；如果你投投四个，它会退一个。信不信由你，试一试吧。
Dad: If you put two, it doesn’t work; and if you put four, it will refund one. Believe it or not, see for yourself.
丹尼尔：爸爸，我像你说的投了四个硬币，但是没有退啊。坏了吗？
Daniel: Dad, I put four in as you said but it doesn’t refund anything. Something wrong?
爸爸：噢，吞币了。我来看看。恩，按下按钮，接着退币。好了，试试吧。
Dad: Oh, the coin gets snapped. Let me see. Ur, press the button and then refund. OK, have a try.
丹尼尔：还是没退币啊。恩，这有个标志牌上写着如果不退币请拨打80081234。我们试试吧。
Daniel: It still doesn’t work. Ur, there is a sign that says we can call this number 80081234 if the coin couldn’t be refunded. Let’s have a try.
爸爸：噢，算了吧。
Dad: Well, forget it.
丹尼尔：但是它现在不转啊。我们洗不了衣服了。
Daniel: But it doesn’t work now. We couldn’t do our laundry.
爸爸：噢，天哪。你愿意自己动手洗吗？
Dad: Oh, my God. Would you like to wash them with hand?
丹尼尔：不愿意。
Daniel: I’m afraid not.
