A：On a cell phone?用手提电话?

B：Yes, I was using a cell phone. I just bought it, so I decided to give my friend a phone call to tell him about it. While I did that I also turned on the radio and was listening to one of my favorite songs, and eating some food I had bought at a fast food restaurant, and, um…… guess I had too many distractions.是的，我在用手提电话。我刚买的，所以我决定给我的朋友打个电话，告诉他这件事。与此同时，我还打开了收音机，正在听一首我特别喜欢听的歌，吃一些我在速食店买的食物，还有，嗯……我想我分心的事太多了。
