Benjamin: Hi, I come to pick up my laundry. This is the invoice.
Laundryman: OK, wait a minute. I’ll get them for you.
(a short while)
Laundryman: Here you are. We’ve ironed them for you already. Please check and see if there is any damage.
Benjamin: I’m afraid that a button is missing.
Laundryman: I’m terribly sorry. You know we are so busy today and we forget to sew the button back on. Please wait a moment. It will be ready soon.
Benjamin: OK, please.
Laundryman: Would you like to have a look? Is it to your satisfaction?
Benjamin: Well, oh my God, there is another problem, I’m afraid. There is still a stain on the shirt.
Laundryman: It doesn’t seem like that. Sorry, sir, we’ve tried everything, but we’re not able to get it off the shirt. It was from the sugar I think.
Benjamin: It’s been several days now; I am not sure.
Laundryman: Yes, the sugar was burnt during the dry-cleaning process. And there you go.
Benjamin: Oh, that’s so bad. I know little about that. Is there a remedy for it?
Laundryman: I am awfully sorry. Please tell us about the stains before the dry-cleaning next time.
Benjamin: OK, I will.
Laundryman: This is a membership card. You can get a 20 percent discount next time.
Benjamin: Thanks a lot.
Laundryman: Hope to see you again. We will provide the best service.

本杰明：你好，我來(lái)取我的衣服，這是發(fā)票。
洗衣工：好的，稍等。我給您取去。
(過(guò)了一會(huì)兒)
洗衣工：這些是您的。我們已經(jīng)熨燙過(guò)了。請(qǐng)檢查一下看是否有損壞。
本杰明：恐怕這里掉了顆扣子。
洗衣工：非常抱歉。您看我們今天太忙了，忘記給您縫上去了。您稍等一下，馬上就好。
本杰明：好的。
洗衣工：您看一下吧，滿(mǎn)意嗎?
本杰明：噢，天哪，恐怕又有一個(gè)問(wèn)題。襯衣上還有個(gè)污點(diǎn)呢?
洗衣工：好像不是那樣的。抱歉先生，我們?cè)嚵怂械姆椒?，但是都不能從襯衣上去除那個(gè)污點(diǎn)。我想那應(yīng)該是糖漬。
本杰明：已經(jīng)過(guò)了很多天了，我不確定。
洗衣工：是的，在干洗的過(guò)程中，糖糊掉了。然后就是這樣了。
本杰明：噢，那太糟了。我不知道會(huì)這樣，有什么可以補(bǔ)救嗎?
洗衣工：非常抱歉。請(qǐng)下次干洗前告訴我們那是什么污點(diǎn)。
本杰明：好的，我會(huì)的。
洗衣工：這是一張會(huì)員卡。下次來(lái)能打八折。
本杰明：非常感謝。
洗衣工：下次再來(lái)，我們將提供最好的服務(wù)。
