荧屏情景

第9周 打电话

荧屏情景：

星期四 打电话给家人 片段选自《生活大爆炸》 第4季第12集 The Big Bang Theory S04E1 00:02--01:38

Howard: Ma, Ma, calm down. Listen to me. I know it says click with the mouse, but on a laptop, the trackpad is the mouse. Now, put your finger on it. Doesn't matter which finger. Good Choice. Now move it down to your e-mail icon. Yeah, the little envelope. What do you mean, "What does it look like?" It looks like an envelope! Fine, you don't like the computer, don't use it! Sure, we can exchange it for a salad spinner. Good-bye!
霍华德：妈，妈，淡定，听我说。我知道它说让你点击鼠标，但是在笔记本电脑上，触摸板就是鼠标。好了，现在把手指放上去。用哪根手指不重要啦！不错。好，现在移动到电子邮件图标上。对，那个小信封。什么叫“它长得什么样？”它长得像个信封样！算了，你要是不喜欢电脑就别用！好，把它退了再换个沙拉搅拌机也成。再见！
