老王

哎，最近电费怎么涨得这么厉害？

āi, zuìjìn diànfèi zěnme zhǎng de zhème lìhai?

Hey, why have electricity bills gone up so much lately?

老李

是啊，我家的空调也老是开着，费电得很。

shì a, wǒ jiā de kōngtiáo yě lǎoshì kāi zhe, fèi diàn de hěn.

Yeah, our air conditioner is always on, it consumes a lot of electricity.

老王

我最近在研究节能设置，听说冰箱可以调到省电模式。

wǒ zuìjìn zài yánjiū jiéné shèzhì, tīng shuō bīngxiāng kěyǐ diào dào shěngdiàn mòshì.

I've been looking into energy-saving settings. I heard that the refrigerator can be set to energy-saving mode.

老李

真的吗？我怎么不知道？

zhēn de ma? wǒ zěnme bù zhīdào?

Really? I didn't know that.

老王

你看看说明书，一般都有节能设置的介绍，可以根据实际情况调整温度，降低耗电量。

nǐ kànkan shuōmíngshū, yībān dōu yǒu jiéné shèzhì de jièshào, kěyǐ gēnjù shíjì qíngkuàng tiáo zhěng wēndù, jiàngdī hàodiànliàng.

Check the manual. Usually, there's an introduction to energy-saving settings. You can adjust the temperature according to your needs to reduce power consumption.

老李

好主意！我回去试试。还有电视和洗衣机，是不是也有节能模式？

hǎo zhǔyì! wǒ huí qù shìshì. hái yǒu diànshì hé xǐyījī, shì bushi yě yǒu jiéné mòshì?

Great idea! I'll try it at home. Do the TV and washing machine also have energy-saving modes?

老王

对，大部分家用电器都有节能模式，用起来省钱又环保。

duì, dà bùfen jiāyòng diànqì dōu yǒu jiéné mòshì, yòng qǐlái shěng qián yòu huánbǎo.

Yes, most household appliances have energy-saving modes; it saves money and is eco-friendly.
