6) Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding(墙板,壁板), windows, or a hot tub(浴盆), and their carpets are clean. They give to charity(慈善团体) through their office and do not need their picture taken. If youre still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you.

7) Hi. I am probably home. Im just avoiding someone I dont like. Leave me a message, and if I dont call back, its you.

8) This is not an answering machine -- this is a telepathic(心想法应术) thought- recording1 device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling and a number where I can reach you, and Ill think about returning your call.
注:tone:与对第3)句beep 的注解含义完全一样,主人的Answer讲完将来,Answer Machine会发出一声beep, 这个时候来电话者就能开始留言了。

9) Hi, this is George. Im sorry I cant answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back.

10) If you are a burglar, then were probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and cant come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably arent home and its safe to leave us a message.

11) Youre growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You feel very sleepy now. You are gradually losing your willpower and your ability to resist suggestions. When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly compelled to leave your name, number, and a message.

12) Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent. Everything you say will be recorded and will be used by us.
注:you have the right to remain silent:电影电视里警察出示逮捕令时常讲的一句话。西方社会讲究人权,任何疑犯在未审判之前不能觉得有罪,因而不可以逼供、更不可拷打:他们有权维持沉默。

13) Hello, youve reached Jim and Sonya. We cant pick up the phone right now, because were doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right ... real slowly. So leave a message, and when were done brushing our teeth, well get back to you.
