如果某人打你电话，你拿起电话，然后开始对话(除非你有自动答录机、语音邮件或者你本来就是一个“大老粗”)。

If someone calls you on the telephone, you pick it up (unless you have an answering machine, voice mail or you are just plain rude) and the conversation begins.

只有在美国，人们用电话答录机甄选来电和电话自动等候功能为了我们不错过任何一个电话，甚至是从一个我们起初并不想说话的家伙那里打来的。

Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
