Dan: Hello, I’m Dan. I’m here to fix your heating system.
丹：你好，我叫丹。我來為您修理制熱設備。
Janice: Oh, when I put in the service call, I didn’t expect a repairperson to come out the same day.
賈尼斯：哦，我撥打客服電話的時候，沒想到修理員當天就到了。
Dan: I just finished another repair in the neighborhood and the company told me to come by. How long has it been on the fritz?
丹：我剛剛完成附近的修理工作，公司就派我過來看看。這樣的故障多久了？
Janice: Well, the boiler hasn’t worked for two months. We used it to heat the basement.
賈尼斯：鍋爐壞了有兩個月了。我們用這個給地下室供暖。
Dan: But you just called for repairs today.
丹：可是你今天才叫人來修理。
Janice: I didn’t call about the boiler. I called about our radiators. The radiators heat the original part of the house. But we’re also having problems with the furnace for our central heating system, which heats the extension.
賈尼斯：我打電話不是為了修理鍋爐。我想要修理散熱器。散熱器負責為房子的部分房間供暖。但是為分支提供熱能的集中供暖系統的鍋爐也出現了問題。
Dan: You mean you have two different heating systems in one house?
丹：你是說這件房子有兩處不同的供熱系統？
Janice: It’s an old house. Each system was installed at a different time.
賈尼斯：這是一棟老式住宅。每個供暖系統都是在不同的時期安裝的。
Dan: So you could have problems with more than one thermostat, heating element, fan, or set of ductwork.
丹：所以你家里不止一臺恒溫器故障，加熱裝置，風扇和管道系統都出現了問題。
Janice: I know that we should install one system for the whole house, but that would be expensive.
賈尼斯：我知道房子應該安裝一處供熱系統，但是那樣的話價格太高了。
Dan: More expensive than fixing two separate systems?
丹：難道能比修理兩個不同的供暖系統的費用還高嗎？
Janice: Is this going to cost a lot?
賈尼斯：這種修理費用很高嗎？
Dan: I’m afraid so.
丹：恐怕是這樣的。
Janice: Well, we can’t afford expensive repairs. I guess we’ll have to use these.
賈尼斯：這么高的維修費用我們負擔不了。我想我們還是用這些吧。
Dan: What are those?
丹：這些是什么？
Janice: Space heaters.
賈尼斯：小型暖爐。
