旅游英语实用口语：失物招领

　　Tom: Excuse me, could you help me?

　　Lost Property clerk (L): Yes. What seems to be the problem?

　　Tom: Well, I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport.

　　L: I'm afraid not. Have you lost your passport?

　　Tom: I think so. I can't find it anywhere in my hotel room, and I remember the last place I used it yesterday was in this department store.

　　L: where exactly did you use your passport in the store?

　　Tom: In the suit-dress department. I had to show it to pay for these dresses with my traveler's checks.

　　L: Well, let me call the suit-dress department to see if they've found a passport.

　　(A minute later)

　　L: Sorry-your passport's not been turned in there, either.

　　Tom: Then what shall I do?

　　L: You can fill in this lost property report, and I'll keep my eye out for it. Those kinds of things usually turn up eventually, but I suggest you contact your embassy and tell them about your situation, so they can issue you a new passport in case it doesn't show up.

　　Tom: You're right. Do you have a pen?

　　L: Here you are.

　　Tom: Oh, I seem to lose something every time I travel.

　　在百货公司的失物招领处

　　汤姆：对不起，能不能帮我一个忙?

　　失物管理员：好的。有什么问题吗?

　　汤姆：我想知道是否有人交来一本护照。

　　管理员：恐怕没有。你遗失了护照?

　　汤姆：我想是的。我在饭店的房间里都找不到。我记得昨天最后用护照的地方是在这百货公司。

　　管理员：你在百货公司什么确切的地方用过护照呢?

　　汤姆：在女装销售部。我用信用卡买衣服的时候必须给他们看护照。

　　管理员：这样的话，我打电话给该部门，看看他们有没有捡到护照。

　　(一分钟之后)

　　管理员：对不起——你的护照也没被交到那边。

　　汤姆：那我该怎么办呢?

　　管理员：你来填这张遗失报告表，我会替你留意的。像这样的东西，最后总是会出现的。但我建议你跟你们的大使馆联系并把你的情形告诉他们。万一你的护照找不到的话，他们会给你补发新护照的。
