Tom:
Hey Hong, I really need to call back to the UK but I can’t afford to pay for the roaming charges.
嘿,Hong。我急需往英国打长途电话,但国际长途的话费实在是太贵了。
Hong:
Well, why don’t you use a local SIM card?
你为什么不用当地的手机用户识别卡呢?
Tom:
Can I do that?
我可以吗?
Hong:
Yes. Just go to the convenience store and ask for a SIM card. Then insert it into your phone.
当然了。便利店里就能买到,把它插进你的手机里就可以用了。
Tom:
I see. How much will that cost?
我知道了。那买这种卡要花多少钱呢?
Hong:
Well it’s 100 RMB for the SIM card then it will cost you about 10 RMB per minute to call the UK.
买卡只要100块钱,打电话去英国大约每分钟10块钱吧。
Tom:
Wow, that is cheap. Thank you very much.
真的吗?这是够便宜的。非常感谢你。
