實用口語
When you go abroad, what's the thing you need most? Money, of course! You'll need to go to the bank to buy some traveler's checks. Then when you arrive at your destination, you'll have to go to a bank to cash the checks. Every bank has a foreign exchange department. However, you'll have to speak with the teller in English because he or she will probably not understand Chinese.
你出國的時候最需要的東西是什麼？當然是錢！你得先去銀行買好旅行支票。等你到達目的地，再到當地的銀行將支票換成現金。每家銀行都有外匯部門，但是櫃員可能不懂中文，所以你必須跟他們說英文。
You should, therefore, brush up on some of the words and phrases that are commonly used when changing money at a bank. For example, you might want to know what the day's exchange rate is, or if there are any handling charges, etc. Worried? Don’t be. Our next lesson will give you a good idea of what you need to say and how to say it.
因此你應該把銀行兌換外幣常用的詞和短語溫習一下。比方說,你可能想知道當日的匯率或者銀行是否收取任何手續費等。擔心嗎? 用不著。我們下一課會教你該說什麼和怎麼說。
