日常英语口语这么说:第1课 打自动回应的录音电话-3

【场景3：打1-866-310-TIPS（尾数是四个大写字母，而不是数字）】

Sometimes, phone numbers are given with some English letters at the end of the number.
For Example, 1-866-310-TIPS becomes 1-866-310-8477.
This is especially true with business numbers and some government numbers.
Remember that number keys 2 through 9 on telephones also have several letters of the alphabet printed on them.
To dial a phone number that has been given as letters, just look at the telephone keypad and find the number key that corresponds to the letter.
1-866-310-TIPS
905-234-BLUE
409-456-BELL

有时电话号码的后四位数不是数字而是四个大写的英文字母。
例如，1-866-310-TIPS，这实际上是1-866-310-8477.
这种表示法多用于商业电话和政府部门的工作电话。
在电话键盘上数字键2-9上印有按着字母顺序排列的大写英文字母。
拨打带字母的电话，看键盘，找对应字母的数字键。
例如1-866-310-TIPS = 1-866-310-8477
905-234-BLUE = 905-234-2583
409-456-BELL = 409-456-2355
