  4.5 Something Lost 丢失物品

W: Excuse me, could you help me?

M: Yes, what seems to be the problem?

W: Well. I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport?

M: I am afraid not. Have you lost your passport?

W: 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.

M: Where exactly did you use your passport in the store?

W: In the shoe department. I had to show it to pay for these shoes with my traveler's cheques.

M: Well, let me call the shoe department to see if they’ve found a passport. Sorry, your passport hasn't turned up there either.

W: Then what shall I do?

M: You can fill in this lost property 1 report and I will keep my eye out for it. These kinds of things usually turn up eventually, but I suggest you contact your embassy 2 and tell them about your situation, so they can issue 3 you a new passport in case it doesn't show up.

W: You are right. Do you have a pen?

M: Here you are.

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

译:

W:打扰一下,能不能帮我个忙?

M:好的,有什么问题吗?

W:我想知道有没有人交过来一本护照?

M:我想没有,你遗失了护照?

W:我想是的,我在饭店的房里都找不到。我记得昨天最后使用护照是在这家百货公司。

M:你在百货公司的什么具体地方用过护照呢?

W:在鞋子销售部,我用旅行支票买这双鞋子的时候必须给他们看护照。

M:对不起,那儿也没有人找到你的护照。

W:那我该怎么办呢?

M:你来填这张遗失报告表,我会替你留意的。像这样的东西,最后还是会找到的。但是我建议你跟你的大使馆联系一下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。

W:你说得对,有没有笔?

M:请用。

W:唉,我好像每次旅行都会丢东西。
