B: Yeah, so how does this work exactly?

B: What about all the selections and cycles?

次日,凱文和羅去了街角的自助洗衣店。
A: 噢,伙計,昨天工作后,我衣服就散發(fā)著臭味。
B: 是啊,我的也是。絕對是該洗衣服了。這家自助洗衣店相當(dāng)不錯!很干凈,機器看起來非常新,并且這里的員工相當(dāng)正規(guī)!
A: 是的,希望這的機器不會“吃”光我所有的硬幣。
B: 是啊,這個到底怎么運行?
A: 首先你要把衣服放到洗衣機里。倒進去一些清潔劑,但是要小心別倒太多了!然后,放進去幾個硬幣,按下開始的按鈕。
B: 所有的選項和循環(huán)指令是怎么回事?
A: 嗯,哪種都能洗干凈你的衣服。如果你想要先進的程序,選擇熱水洗白色的衣服,冷水洗有色的衣服。你知道要把淺色的和深色的衣服分開,對嗎?
B: 啊,好了,我開始洗了。
A: 對于棉制的衣服,選擇常規(guī)循環(huán)就可以了。對于亞麻和絲綢之類不錯的織物,你可以選擇柔洗,這樣就不會損壞你的衣服了。
B: 怎么知道應(yīng)該選擇什么樣的水位呢?
A: 你要把所有的衣服都浸在水里,這樣才能把它們都洗干凈。通過嘗試你就能知道放多少水了,但最高的一檔是最保險的了。
