White-chan and those nuisance calls



白-chan整天都接到一些莫名其妙的推销电话,有时是硬要塞给我一笔贷款,有时是要我卖屋子,有时要我买保险,超烦的!而且白-chan发现最近的这些telemarketer的英语怪怪的,好像都不是本地人哦!

通话(1)

Telemarketer 1: Hi, we are here to inform you that we will be doing a community service at your block this weekend, can our representative come over to do a presentation?
(所讲的是赶着去搭火车的中国腔英语,害白-chan有听没有懂)
白-chan: Sorry? What community service?
Telemarketer 1: We will be doing a community service at your block this weekend, and our representative will like to come over to do a presentation.
白-chan: Which government body are you from?
Telemarketer 1: No, we are not from government, we are here to do a community service at your block this weekend.
白-chan: Okay... so which government body is your company collaborating with?
Telemarketer 1: No, we are here to do a community service at your block this weekend.
白-chan: And so which government body is your company collaborating with?
Telemarketer 1: No, we are here to do a community service at your block this weekend.
(感觉上白-chan再问下去她还是会把同样的话重复十次)
白-chan: Okay, which company are you calling from?
Telemarketer 1: We are calling from Prudential Insurance, and we will come over this weekend to help you to upgrade your Medishield plan.
白-chan: Oh, no I am not interested.
Telemarketer 1: We will come over this weekend to help you to upgrade your Medishield plan, and it is a free service.
白-chan: No, I am not interested.
Telemarketer 1: So can our representative come over this weekend to give you a presentation on how to upgrade your Medishield plan?
白-chan: No! I am not interested!

放下电话后,白-chan老妈问:“电话坏了吗?是不是听不到?我看你一直重复你的话...”

通话(2)

Telemarketer 2: Hi, is that 白-chan?
白-chan: Yes, where are you calling from?
Telemarketer 2: I'm calling from DBS. We would like to offer you an exclusive loan from the bank...
(所讲的是赶着去搭飞机的印度腔英语,而且是一口气没有逗号的讲了一大段。由于白-chan没有当过秘书,只听得进大概50%,所以没办法把所有的话再度写在这里。)
Telemarketer 2: Is it convenient to talk?
白-chan: Sorry I'm not free now.
Telemarketer 2: Oh, in that case can I call you back later?
白-chan: No, it's okay, I'm not interested.
Telemarketer 2: Or how about I call you back later to explain to you about this loan...
白-chan: No! I'm really not interested!

哇咧!不是说没兴趣了吗?

通话(3)

白-chan: Hello?
Telemarketer 3: 喂,你会讲华语吗?
白-chan: Can you speak English?
Telemarketer 3: (嘟...)

没礼貌!竟然挂白-chan的电话!
