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.

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？
