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，我来取我的衣服，这是发票。
洗衣工：好的，稍等。我给您取去。
（过了一会儿）
洗衣工：这些是您的。我们已经熨烫过了。请检查一下看是否有损坏。
本杰明：恐怕这里掉了颗扣子。
洗衣工：非常抱歉。您看我们今天太忙了，忘记给您缝上去了。您稍等一下，马上就好。
本杰明：好的。
洗衣工：您看一下吧，满意吗？
本杰明：噢，天哪，恐怕又有一个问题。衬衣上还有个污点呢？
洗衣工：好像不是那样的。抱歉先生，我们试了所有的方法，但是都不能从衬衣上去除那个污点。我想那应该是糖渍。
本杰明：已经过了很多天了，我不确定。
洗衣工：是的，在干洗的过程中，糖糊掉了。然后就是这样了。
本杰明：噢，那太糟了。我不知道会这样，有什么可以补救吗？
洗衣工：非常抱歉。请下次干洗前告诉我们那是什么污点。
本杰明：好的，我会的。
洗衣工：这是一张会员卡。下次来能打八折。
本杰明：非常感谢。
洗衣工：下次再来，我们将提供最好的服务。
