第四日:轻松寄信好心情
http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/11/03 14:30  洋话连篇

  Amber goes to the Post Office to buy stamps for the letter she has just written. It's really not so different from what she is used to back home!

  Clerk: Good afternoon, miss. How can I help you?

  Amber: Good afternoon. I'd like to send a letter to China. How much does it cost?

  Clerk: We'll need to weigh it first. (Weighs the letter) It would be $2.10. Would you like insurance on the contents of your letter?

  Amber: No, this letter is nothing special. Just a letter to my mom. Here's a 5. (Hands the clerk the money) About how long do you think it'll take to get to China?

  Clerk: About a week. Your change is $2.90.

  Amber: thank you very much.

  Clerk: Thank you for choosing the United States Postal Service. Have a nice day.

  Amber刚写完一封信,她来到邮局买了些邮票准备把信寄出去。这和她所习惯的中国邮寄方式并没有太大的区别。

  Clerk:下午好,小姐,我可以帮助你吗?

  Amber:下午好,我想寄封信到中国要多少钱?

  Clerk:我们要先称一下。(称了一下信)是两美圆十美分。你想不想加保?

  Amber:不用了,也不是很重要,只不过是给我妈妈而已。给你五美元。(把钱递给服务员)大概多久才能到?

  Clerk:大概要一个星期。这个是你的零钱是2美元90美分。

  Amber:谢谢你

  Clerk:感谢你使用"美国邮政",祝你今天过得愉快。
