今天的这段对话，在讨论寄包裹，
 
如何跨国寄包裹？平邮和空邮有什么区别
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: How can I help you?
 
我可以帮您什么？
 
B: I'd like to send this package to China.
 
我想把这个包裹寄到中国去。
 
A: Would you like to send it surface or airmail?
 
您想平邮还是航空？
 
B: What's the difference between surface and airmail?
 
平邮和空邮有什么区别？
 
A: If you send the parcel with surface mail, it will take about two months to arrive. Whereas with airmail, it will arrive in 7-10 days.
 
如果您用平邮寄包裹，大概需要两个月左右。空邮的话七到十天就能到。
 
B: That's a big difference. I suppose airmail will be much more expensive.
 
差别还是挺大的，我猜空邮会贵很多吧。
 
A: That depends on the weight.
 
价钱是按重量计算的。
 
B: How much will it cost to send it airmail?
 
用空邮寄要多少钱？
 
A: Place it on the scale, please.
 
请把包裹放在称上。
 
B: Okay.
 
好的。
 
A: That's 500 grams. It will cost 10 pounds for airmail.
 
500克。空邮要十英镑。
 
B: That's not bad. I'll do that, then. Does that include insurance on the contents of the parcel, or is that a separate fee?
 
还不错，我就选择空邮寄包裹了。这里面包括包裹的保险费吗，还是价钱要另外算？
 
A: That's separate. It's another 50 P.
 
单算的，再加50便士。
 
B: Ok.
 
好的。
 
A: Just fill in this customs form. Make sure you press hard so that the information transfer to all three papers.
 
您需要把这个客户表格填好，写的时候多用点力，才能保证填的内容三张复写单子上都能看清楚。
 
B: Alright. Do I need to put a return address on the package?
 
好了，我需要在包裹上写回邮地址吗？
 
A: Yes, that would be ideal. If the package doesn't make it to the recipient's address, then it will be sent back to the sender.
 
写吧，最好写上。如果包裹没有寄到收信的地址，还能寄回给发信人。
 
B: Okay. Thank you very much.
 
好的，非常感谢。
 
A: You're welcome.
 
不客气。
