Tina: No. Why should I read instructions when I just use a refrigerator?
没有。为什么我只是使用冰箱而已还要看说明书呢？
Manager: I'm sorry we didn't remind you at the very beginning. There is a small button here, which is the power-saving button. If you didn't press it, this is just a normal refrigerator. It is written on the instruction. Now do you prefer to keep it and give it another chance or return it immediately?
抱歉我们开始没有提醒您。这里有个小开关，这就是节能开关。如果没有按下这个开关，这就是一台普通冰箱。这是在说明书上写着的。现在您想要继续留着这台冰箱，再给它一次机会呢，还是立刻退货呢？
Tina: Well, if what you say is true, I'd like to keep it for one more week.
好吧，如果你说的是真的,我还是再留它一个星期吧。
