Grammar

Usage of Need to（need to 的用法）

We can use two different structures need / needs to and need / needs –ing; we’ll be talking about the former structure, the need to structure.

We use need to when we want to talk about something that‘s necessary for someone to do; and we usually mention who is going to do it. Here’s how you’d form a sentence with need to: subject + need to + verb

Hi, Bruce. I would like to cancel my cell phone contract.
你好Bruce，我想要取消我的手機套餐合約。

I am sorry to hear that. What seems to be the problem, ma’am?
真遺憾，是有什麼問題嗎，女士？

My main complaint is that I can’t get a cell phone signal in my own house! Besides that, my phone is constantly dropping calls.
我最大的問題就是我手機在家收不到信號。除此之外，我的手機打電話老是掉線！

We do apologize for that. We are currently upgrading our cell phone towers and expanding coverage citywide. I see from the address on your account that you live in a rural area. This may explain the spotty coverage and dropped calls. How does everything work for you when you get closer in to town?
我們非常抱歉。我們目前正在升級我們的手機信號塔並擴展全市範圍的信號覆蓋率。我看到您帳號所在的位址是在郊區，這解釋了您信號差和電話掉線的問題。在靠近市區的時候情況怎麼樣？

It’s slightly better. But I work from home, so that’s where I need to make most of my calls from. I’ve been having a lot of problems making and receiving calls, and it’s hurting my business. I don’t really have a choice but to cancel the contract.
稍微好一點點。但是我在家工作，所以我要從家裡打電話。我打出去和接進來的電話都有很多問題，這影響到我的業務了。除了取消合約我別無選擇。

Ma’am, you signed a two-year contract with TalkShop. If you cancel today, there is a $300 early cancellation fee.
女士，您和TalkShop簽了兩年的合約，如果要今天取消合約的話需要支付300美金的違約費。

The contract does not fit my present needs. I simply can’t make calls, and I need more data and texting options.
這個合同沒辦法滿足我目前的需求。我根本沒辦法打電話，而且我需要更多的數據流量及簡訊量。

I can see where you’re coming from, ma’am. But we do have a policy that requires us to charge you a fee for breaking your contract. If you want to avoid that, I could look into upgrading your service plan for you. That way, you don’t have to pay the early cancellation fee and you get a higher level of service.
我理解您的難處，女士。但是我們公司確實有規定如果您違約是要支付一筆違約費的。如果您不想支付違約費的話，我可以幫您看看是不是可以升級您的服務。這樣的話，您就不需要支付違約費，還可以升級您的服務。

Not at this time. I understand your policy, but because of poor service I can’t use my phone when I need it most. So I would appreciate it if you could cancel my contract and waive the early cancellation fee for me.

這次就算了。我知道你們的規定，但是是因為你們服務太差勁，在我最需要的時候根本用不了。所以請你幫我取消合約，也幫我把違約費取消。

Let me talk to my manager and I’ll see what we can do.
讓我和我的經理談談看我們能不能幫您吧。

Thanks. And I’ll also need you to unlock my phone so I can take my business to another carrier.
謝謝。而且我還需要你們把我的手機解鎖了，這樣我可以訂購其他運營商的服務。
