物业治理英语第十二讲General Maintenance and Repair
When it becomes necessary to break through walls in order to make plumbing
or electrical repairs, engineers make the subsequent repairs. The engineers
also handle small welding jobs and maintain door hinges and locks. Engineering
staff may also be involved in a wide rang of miscellaneous tasks such as
window replacement, painting, carpet installation and so forth. An outside
firm is usually contracted for the maintenance, repair, and inspection
of major equipment such as elevators.
Maintaining a plumbing system is no small job. Many American communities
often have a large plumbing system. In addition to the circulating hot
water system, properties have a separate and complete cold water system.
A property owner without either hot or cold water wastes no time making
this fact known, and engineers must remedy the situation immediately. Faucet
are bound to wear out, and many hours are spent replacing them. Drains
can become stopped in the course of everyday use, or property owners may
discard objects that plug up sinks or bathtubs. On upper floors, plugged
rains may cause flooding. Even minor flooding can cause extensive damage.
The engineering division also frequently receives calls about toilets.
Basic tools can generally be used to resolve problems, but, in serious
cases, the toilet may have to be removed to let the plumber locate the
source of difficulty. Water - closet valves must be frequently checked
and kept in good working order to avoid noises.
Some plumbing work can be rather messy. One example is cleaning the kitchen
grease traps and the basement grease line. Chemicals can help keep these
lines open, but, occasionally, cleaning must still be done manually. An
additional problem for engineers is the fact that the original plumbing
in most properties probably was not intended for all the use it now gets.
Properties canmodernize systems gradually, but few proferties can undertake
such a job in a short period of time.
A Sample Informing Tenants of Electricity Supply Cut-off
Dear tenants:
Please note that owing to the carrying out of repair work to the electricity
supply system, lift service and public lighting of Block Two and Four will
be suspended from 9 to 20, Nov. 15th.
However, emergency electricity supply will be provided to staircases and
corridors. Should you have any queries, please contact the Manager Office
on 87675274 (telephone number).
We apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused.
Yours sincerely

Notes
1. When it becomes necessary to break through walls in order to make plumbing
or electrical repairs….
此句中，动词不定式to break through walls 是真正主语，it 是形式主语。该句可译为：为了进行管道和电力的维修，必要时要穿墙破壁。
2. Engineering staff may also be involved in a wide range of miscellaneous
tasks such as window replacement…, and so forth.
a wide range of 意为“大范围的”。例如：
The student has a very wide range of interest.
那个学生的爱好非常广泛。
such as 意为“比如，例如”，在as后接名词。例如：
Sara has read many English novels such as Oliver Twist, Pride and Prejudice,
and Jane Eyre.莎拉读过许多英语小说，例如：《雾都孤儿》、《傲慢与偏见》、《简·爱》。
3. An outside firm is usually contracted for the maintenance, repair, and
inspection of major equipment such as elevators.
该句的谓语为被动语态，contract作动词，意为“与……订（……的）合同”。该句可译为：与外面的公司订立合同负责维护、修理和检查主要的设备，如电梯。
4. A property owner without either hot or cold water wastes no time making
this fact known.
介词短语without either…or…作owner的定语，可译为：没有冷水或热水的业主。
Waste no time意为“不要浪费一点时间，赶紧”，making this fact known是一个复合结构，known作宾语fact的补足语，意为“告诉别人”。
5. Drains can become stopped in the course of everyday use.
下水道在每日的使用中有可能堵塞。
6. On upper floors, plugged drains may cause flooding.
