怎么了，Jim?

Wife:Twenty minutes just to find out what their business hours are?
二十分钟才查出他们的营业时间？
Husband:yes.They have some sort of digital receptionist.So when I called in ,a machine told me to push a button for the department I wanted to be transferred to.
是的。他们使用的是数字语音服务。我打进电话后，机器告诉我按一个键接通要找的部门。
Wife:Oh,I hate getting voicemail instead of a person.What did you do?
我不喜欢语音服务。你当时是怎么办的？
Husband:I just kept pushing buttons.I was transferred to customer service,but there a machine told me to choose between technical help,warranty information,or price information.
我不停地（根据提示）按键。先是接通的客户服务部，可机器让我按键选择技术服务，保修信息或是价格信息。
Wife:Couldn’d you choose to be transferred to a real person?
难道你就不能选择接通服务人员？
Husband:Eventually I did get to a real person.I found out the closing time,but by then the store had already closed!
最后，终于有个人接了我的电话。我知道了关门时间，但是那时已经关门了。
