John (Male)
Excuse me, I need some help. I just started washing my car, but the timer seems to be counting down really fast.
打扰一下,我需要一些帮助。我刚刚开始洗车,但是计时器好像走得特别快。

Lisa (Female)
Oh, really? Let me check the display. Did you select the basic wash or one of the upgraded packages?
哦,是吗?我看看显示屏。您是选择了基础洗车,还是升级套餐?
3
John (Male)
I chose the standard wash, which I thought gave me enough time. Now it's showing an extra charge too. What does 'Pro Wash Add-on' mean?
我选的是标准洗车,我以为时间够用。现在还显示一笔额外费用。‘专业洗车附加项’是什么意思?
4
Lisa (Female)
Ah, I see. Sometimes the touch screen is a bit sensitive. The 'Pro Wash Add-on' usually activates if your finger lingers too long on that option, or if you accidentally double-tap it during selection.
啊,我明白了。有时候触摸屏有点太灵敏了。‘专业洗车附加项’通常是在您手指在这个选项上停留时间过长,或者不小心双击选择时激活的。
5
John (Male)
So I accidentally paid for something extra? And that's why my time is running out so quickly?
所以我是不小心多付了钱?这就是为什么我的时间过得这么快吗?
6
Lisa (Female)
Precisely. The Pro Wash includes extra features like undercarriage wash and paint protection, which also means a shorter cycle time for the basic wash features to accommodate everything.
正是如此。专业洗车包含底盘清洗和车漆保护等额外功能,这也意味着基本清洗功能的时间会缩短,以便容纳所有这些功能。

John (Male)
Is there a way to extend my wash time for the standard features, or get some credit back?
有没有办法延长我标准功能的洗车时间,或者退还一些钱?
8
Lisa (Female)
I can definitely add some complimentary time for you now so you can finish cleaning. For the accidental charge, please come inside after you're done and I can process a refund for the Pro Wash add-on.
我现在可以给您加一些免费时间,让您能洗完。至于意外扣费,您洗完后请到里面来,我可以为您办理专业洗车附加项的退款。

John (Male)
That would be great! Thank you so much for your help.
那太好了!非常感谢您的帮助。

Lisa (Female)
You're welcome! Just give me a moment to key that in for you.
不客气!请给我一点时间为您输入。
