We have a lesson that's talking about something that goes wrong in the office.

我們有個課程是關於辦公室裡會發生的問題。

Yes, something that I can really understand well, but we'll talk about that later.

對，這是我很能理解的問題，但我們晚點再說。

So let's take a look at this word in vocabulary preview.

那麼，我們就來看看這個單字在單字預覽的部分。

All right, so a photocopier makes copies.

好的，所以影印機就是用來影印的。

We often call it a copier, or a copy machine.

Yeah, so you can call it a photocopier, copy machine, or copier.

We can talk about that a little bit later because that's an interesting story.

這個我們可以晚點再聊，因為那有個有趣的故事。

All right, let's take a look at our next word: toner.

好的，那我們來看看下一個詞：碳粉。

So toner is what the copy machine uses to make copies.

所以碳粉就是影印機用來影印的材料。

It's a powder, so you don't want to get that all over you.

它是一種粉末，所以你絕對不想弄得到處都是。

And our last word in vocabulary preview: malfunction.

然後我們最後一個單字是：故障。

I guess mal maybe comes from Latin or something because in Spanish we say mal, which is something evil or not good.

我猜 Mal 可能來自拉丁文之類的，因為在西班牙文裡，我們說 mal，意思是邪惡或不好的東西。

Okay, so I think we can understand malfunction is.

好的，所以我想我們可以理解故障是什麼了。

Okay, well, why don't we listen to the dialogue and find out what isn't working properly.

好的，那我們就來聽聽對話，看看是什麼沒有正常運作。

Hey, Carl, can you make a copy of this contract for me, please?

嘿，Carl，可以幫我影印這份合約嗎？

And when you have it ready, send it out ASAP to our sub-branch.

然後準備好之後，盡快寄給我們的分部。

On your way up, can you fax this while I try and fix this thing?

你上去的時候，可以順便幫我傳真這個，我試著修好這個東西。

Everything in this office seems to be breaking down.

這間辦公室的東西好像都壞光光了。

Is someone playing a practical joke on me?

The elevator has some sort of malfunction.

Okay, so this copy machine is definitely not working properly.

好吧，這臺影印機顯然是故障了。

All right, very dramatic here at English Pod, but we have fun, right?

好了，在 English Pod 這裡很戲劇化，但我們玩得很開心，對吧？

Okay, let's take a look at some of the great language that we saw in language takeaway.

好了，我們來看看語言學習重點裡一些很棒的說法。

All right, three words for you here in language takeaway.

好了，在語言學習重點這裡有三個詞要跟你分享。

And we heard all of these in the dialogue.

我們在對話裡都聽到這些說法了。
