STEVE: Did you smell something out here?

SUE: Yes, I was in the kitchen. I thought I could smell smoke.

STEVE: Me too. Where is it coming from?

SUE: I can't see anything. Wait! What's that over there?

STEVE: It's smoke. Whose house is that?

SUE: That's the Riley's house. They're on vacation.

STEVE: It doesn't really look like it's coming from their house.

It's coming from the back. Is it a barbecue?

SUE: No way. They have a tool shed back there.

It's a fire. I'm going in to call the fire department.

STEVE: Wait. I have my cell phone. I'll dial 911.

Yes, please connect me to the fire department.

VOICEOVER: Fire department. Can I help you?

STEVE: Yes, I want to report a fire.

VOICEOVER: Where are you, sir?

STEVE: I'm at 904 Lincoln Drive. I think there's a fire in one of my neighbor's houses.

VOICEOVER: 904 Lincoln Drive?

STEVE: Yes.

VOICEOVER: Can you see any flames?

STEVE: No, I can't see flames yet.

But there is smoke pouring out of the back of the house.

VOICEOVER: Alright. We'll get someone there right away.

STEVE: There's someone coming.

SUE: It took them four minutes to get here. That was pretty fast.

STEVE: Yes, it's fast. But four minutes is enough to do fifty thousand dollars damage.

SUE: I guess the fire wasn't in the tool shed after all.

It looks like the back of the house was burning.

STEVE: I wonder if anyone can call the Rileys about this. Do you know them well?

SUE: Not really.

STEVE: Do you know where they're vacationing?

SUE: I think they went to Mexico, but I'm not sure.

It's a bad thing to return home to.

They'll come home from their trip, and they'll see half their house burned.

STEVE: Yes, but at least this way no one gets hurt.

It's better to have a fire in your house when you're not home. Don't you think?

SUE: Yes, I suppose. It's a dangerous thing if a fire starts when people are sleeping.

史提夫：你在外面嗅到什么嗎?

蘇：是的，我剛剛在廚房，我好像聞到煙味。

史提夫：我也是。從哪里飄過來的?

蘇：我沒看到。等等，那是什么?

史提夫：是濃煙。那是誰的房子?

蘇：那是瑞里家，他們?nèi)ザ燃倭恕?/p>

史提夫：看起來不像是從屋子里飄出來的。

這是從后面來的，是不是烤肉?

蘇：不可能。他們后面是工具室。

這是火災(zāi)，我要進去打電話給消防局。

史提夫：等等，我有手提電話，我來打 911。

請幫我接消防局。

接線生：消防局。有什么事嗎?

史提夫：是的，我要報火警。

接線生：先生，你的位置是?

史提夫：我在林肯路 904 號，我鄰居的房子失火了。

接線生：林肯路 904 號嗎?

史提夫：是的。

接線生：你看到火焰嗎?

史提夫：我還沒看到火焰。

但是有濃煙從房子后面冒出來。

接線生：好的，我們立刻派人過去。

史提夫：他們馬上來了。

蘇：他們四分鐘就到這里，相當(dāng)快。

史提夫：是很快，但是四分鐘就足以造成五萬塊的損失。

蘇：我猜一定不是工具室起火。

看起來是有東西在房子后面燒。

史提夫：不知道有沒有人可以通知瑞里家的人。你跟他們熟嗎?

蘇：不是很熟。

史提夫：你知道他們?nèi)ツ睦锒燃賳?

蘇：他們?nèi)ツ鞲?，但是我不確定。

要是回來也真掃興。

他們要中途結(jié)束旅行回來，并且看到房子被燒掉一半。

史提夫：沒錯，但是至少這樣沒有人受傷。

失火時最好沒有人在家，不是嗎?

蘇：我想是的。如果正在睡覺時失火，這是很危險的。
