Lesson Three Explaining Charge for Call that Never Went through
第三课 向客人解释没有打通电话收费的原因

G：There seems to be a mistake here on my phone bill. I did try to make a phone call to Malaysia on this date,but I never got through. I was charged for one minute,but I never talked to anyone.
旅客：我的电话账单好像搞错了。在这天，我确实想要往马来西亚打一个电话，但是没有打通。张单上却记录了一分钟的费用，可是我并没有和任何人通话。

C：Yes,I seeI can explain that. I'm afraid there is a charge just for using the overseas line even if you don't get through/even if the call doesn't go through. If you use the line for more than six seconds,the minimum charge is one minute.
店员：是的，我明白。我可以给您解释一下。这是收取越洋电话线路的费用，即使您没有打通电话。如果您使用电话线路超过秒钟，最低的费用是按一分钟计算的。

G：WowAll rightI guess I'll have to pay it then.
旅客：噢，那好吧。我想我得付费了。
