Calling Home Collect | 对方付费电话

English Original

My wife was away all weekend at a business conference.

During a break, she decided to call home collect. Our six-year-old son picked up the phone and heard a stranger's voice say, "We have a Betty on the line. Will you accept the charges?"

Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming, "Dad! They've got Mom! And they want money!"


中文翻译

我妻子整个周末都在外地参加一个商务会议。

会议间隙,她决定打一个对方付费电话回家。我们六岁的儿子接了电话,听到一个陌生人的声音说:"我们这边有一位贝蒂。您愿意支付这次通话的费用吗?"

他一下子慌了神,扔下听筒就冲出门外大喊:"爸爸!他们抓走了妈妈!他们还想要钱!"
