Larry和李華正在電影院外面等朋友。電影都快開場了，可是朋友還沒到。Larry 決定用手機給這個朋友打電話。
LL: Darn! My cell phone is out of juice. Can I use your cell phone to call Bob and Lisa and find out why they’re late?
LH: 你的手機怎麼啦？Out of juice, juice是果汁。哎噢！該不是你的電話掉到果汁裡啦？難怪不能用啦！
LL: No, my cell phone is out of juice. "Juice" is slang for "power". I meant that the battery in my phone is out of power.
LH: 噢，原來juice在這裡是指電池裡的電啊！所以out of juice就是沒電的意思。既然你的手機沒電了，你可以用我的，我昨晚才充過電，so it has plenty of juice.
LL: That’s fortunate. At least one of us has a functioning phone.
LH: 對了，Larry你前些天不是說你的車有毛病嗎？現在怎樣啦？
LL: Yes, my car wouldn’t start because the battery was out of juice. I had to go to the mechanic and get a new battery.
LH: 原來是車子裡的電池也沒電啦！看來這juice還真少不了，否則什麼也幹不了。昨天，我的'鐳射唱機沒有電。噢，沒有juice了，偏偏我又找不到電池，害得我什麼也聽不了。
LL: Yeah, I hate it when that happens, too. The other day, I was in the middle of typing a report on my laptop, when the battery ran out of juice. I almost lost the whole report.
LH: 哇，你可得特別小心電腦的電池呢。如果電腦沒電了，你輸入的報告還有檔案都可能會泡湯。那可就嚴重了！
LL: I know! I’ve had some awful experiences with that. Fortunately, now computer companies are making laptops with batteries that hold more juice.
LH: 就是，現在的電腦用的都是容量比較大的電池，所以打到一半沒電的情況比較少了。Larry, 你還是快點兒給他們打電話吧！電影很快就要開始了。
