M = Mary　　C = Cindy
M: Cindy, can you show me how to call Connecticut?
C: Who do you know there?
M: A good friend of mine is there on a homestay program, too.
C: I see.
M: Is it expensive to make out-of-state calls?
C: Yeah, but it isn't more expensive than international calls.
M: What do I do here?
C: Easy. Dial the area code for Connecticut; then dial your friend's number.
M: That's it?
C: Check the local time before you call. You don't want to wake your friend up by accident.

玛丽：辛迪，你能教我怎么打电话到康乃狄克州吗？
辛迪：你有什么认识的人在那里吗？
玛丽：我的一个好朋友也参加了那里的一个寄宿游学计划。
辛迪：哦，原来如此。
玛丽：打州际电话很贵吗？
辛迪：是的，可是不会比国际电话贵。
玛丽：那现在我要怎么拨电话呢？
辛迪：很简单。先拨康州的区码，然后再拨你朋友的电话号码。
玛丽：就这样吗？
辛迪：打电话前先查一下当地的时间。你不会想出人意表地吵醒朋友的。
