地道美语听力练习:电力耗光 动应急发电机的歪脑筋

Luisa:The battery on my computer is almost out of juice.

Allesandro:Did you bring a spare?

Luisa:It's a rechargeable battery, so instead of replacing it, I need to plug it in, but there are no outlets in here.

Allesandro:I don't see one either.

Luisa:Forget it. I'll just finish watching the movie on my phone.

Oh no, my phone battery is running low, too.

It's a high-capacity battery and is supposed to discharge slowly, giving me a full day of power.

I don't know what's wrong with it.

Allesandro:Do you want to borrow my radio?

At least you can listen to music for a while.

Luisa:A radio? You mean an old-fashioned radio?

Allesandro:Yeah, it uses disposable batteries and I brought plenty.

Luisa:No, thanks. I don't think a radio will do me any good.

Maybe there's an emergency generator around here.

I just need enough electricity to finish watching my movie.

Allesandro:I don't think that will do you any good, and plus, the emergency generator is supposed to be used for emergencies and only in the event of a power failure.

Luisa:Exactly! What can be more of an emergency than not knowing how a movie ends?
