Lesson 55—Overdue
第五十五課 過期
◎ Dialogue
Clerk : Your total comes to NT$300.
Ivy : What are you talking about? I only rented one DVD.
Clerk : Yes, but you had NT$200 in late fees on your account.
Ivy : Can you tell me which movies they were?
Clerk : Sure. Gladior and Shark Tale were both four days late.
Ivy : Now I remember. I let my cousin Dave borrow those
movies. But he told me he brought them back on time.
Hold on. Let me give him a call.
Clerk : Sure. Take your time.
Ivy : OK. He told me he returned the movies, but he
actually forgot them in the back of his car for a couple
days. Here is the NT$300. Sorry about that.
◎ 會 話
店員:總共是三百元。
艾薇:你在說什麼?我只租了一片DVD。
店員:沒錯,但是您的帳戶裡有逾期未還的罰款兩百
元。
艾薇:你可以告訴我是哪幾部電影嗎?
店員:當然!《神鬼戰士》和《鯊魚黑幫》這兩部片
都晚了四天。
艾薇:我現在想起來了,我借給大衛堂哥了,但是他
跟我說他已經準時還了。等一下,我打個電話給他。
店員:沒問題。您慢慢來。
艾薇:好,他說他已經還了,但事實上他把片子忘在
後座好些天,這裡是三百元。抱歉!
