Maybe the signal is bad. See whether you have any signal on your phone.

一点儿信号都没有。在这个房间里总是这样。
No signal at all. It's always like this in this room.

去窗户旁边试试，那里信号好一点儿。
Try by the window; the signal is a bit better there.

能播放了，可是很慢，放一下停一下。
It plays now, but it's slow; it keeps stopping and starting.

I also want to forward the news to Liu Ming. He changed his phone number, so he may not have got it.
王一雪Wang Yixue
对，不告诉他，他周五还会去教室考试。
Right, if we don't tell him, he'll still turn up on Friday for the exam.
An online friend has forwarded Liu Ming a message that asks for a password, and Anne warns him not to enter it.
刘明Liu Ming
我的网友给我转发了一条消息，说点开就能免费看电影。
An online friend forwarded me a message. It says if you open it you can watch movies for free.
安妮Anne
我看看……要先写你的邮箱密码？
Let me see... you have to enter your email password first?
刘明Liu Ming
对，上面说写了密码才能看。
Yes, it says you can only watch after entering it.
安妮Anne
千万别写密码，这种消息很可能有危险。
Whatever you do, don't enter your password. Messages like this are very likely dangerous.
刘明Liu Ming
可是他是我的网友，应该没问题吧？
But he's my online friend. It should be fine, shouldn't it?
安妮Anne
也许他自己也不知道有危险。你别点开，也别再转发给别人。
Maybe he doesn't know it's dangerous himself. Don't open it, and don't forward it to anyone else.
刘明Liu Ming
好，我先回复他，问问他是从哪儿收到的。
Okay, I'll reply to him first and ask where he got it from.
