场景 1：酒店插座与插头不匹配，游客求助

游客：The plug of my device has two prongs, but the socket here is for three. What can I do?

导游：You need an adapter. Without it, you can't plug your device in. Also, never try to plug directly, or it might fry your device.

场景 2：游客询问是否需要转换器

游客：I have a dual voltage shaver. Do I need a converter or transformer?

导游：For dual voltage devices, you usually don't need a converter or transformer. But you may need an adapter for the socket. Just check if the cord is frayed and the outlet is grounded.

场景 3：游客发现电器电线破损

游客：The cord of this hair dryer looks frayed. Is it still safe to use?

导游：No, it's not. A frayed cord can cause a short circuit and blow a fuse. It could even get you electrocuted or singed. Don't use it.
