   At the lost-found office of deportment store

  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。
