Clerk: Can I help you, sir?
Tom: Oh, yes. This is a traveler's check of four thousand. I'd like to
cash this check, please.
Clerk: Do you have an account with us, sir?
Tom: No, I don't. Is that going to be a problem?
Clerk: Never mind. The check that you have is drawn off of this bank. May
I see your driver's license, please?
Tom: I don't have a driver's license. Will a passport be all right?
Clerk: That's fine. How would you like this cash back?
Tom: I want twenty hundred-dollar bills and the rest in fifties, twenties
and tens, please.
Clerk: Four thousand. Please check it, sir. Thank you and have a good day.
Tom: Thank you. Bye-bye.
(Tom forgets changing some coins. Then when he meets trouble in the course
of touring he has to turn to the passerby.)
Tom: Excuse me. Could you please break this five into some coins for me?
I want to make a call.
Passerby: Sure. What would you like?
Tom: How about two dollars in quarters and the rest in dimes and nickels?
Passerby: Let me see...Good, I happen to have enough. There you go.
Tom: It's so kind of you.
Passerby: Not at all.
换现金、零钱
职员：我能为您效劳吗，先生？
汤姆：是的。这是一张四千元的旅行支票。我想把它换成现金。
职员：您和我们有帐务往来吗？
汤姆：没有。这会有什么问题吗？
职员：没关系。您这张支票是从我们银行开出的。我可以看一下您的驾驶证吗？
汤姆：我没有驾驶证。护照行吗？
职员：可以。您要换成什么样的现金？
汤姆：我想要20张一百元的钞票，其余的换成五十元，二十元和十元的。
职员：四千元。请点一下。谢谢光临。祝您旅行愉快。 （汤姆忘记换一些硬币。于是在他旅游遇到麻烦时他不得不求助于路人。）
汤姆：对不起，打扰一下。您能帮我把这张五元钱换成零钱吗？我想要打个电话。
路人：可以。您想要怎么换？
汤姆：二十五美分的换两元，其余的换成十美分和五美分的。
路人：让我看看，也许…还行，我正巧有这些硬币。给你。
汤姆：非常感谢。
路人：不客气。
