时间：2019-02-06 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
I went to bank this morning. Instead of standing 1 in line to talk to a bank teller 2, I decided 3 to use an ATM, but it wasn’t working.
Robin 4: Excuse me. Could you help me? I’m trying to use this ATM machine, but it stopped working after I put in my PIN and it won’t give me back my ATM card.
Bank clerk: It looks like the machine is jammed. Step over to this teller window and I can help you. What transactions are you trying to make?
Robin: I want to make a deposit, transfer some money between my checking and savings 5 accounts, and make a cash withdrawal 6.
Bank clerk: I can make those transactions for you.
Robin: Okay. Let me take this check out of the deposit envelop 7. And what about my card?
Bank clerk: I’ll call the technician and she should be able to retrieve 8 it for you.
Robin: Thanks a lot. I guess that the machine just doesn’t like me.
Bank clerk: It’s not you. Those machines just act up sometimes.
Robin: In that case, I won’t take it personally.
