C:We don't deal in coins ,sir .Usually ,we have very little request for coin exchange and it makes it difficult for us to maintain a supply of coins adequate to what may be needed .

职员：我们不买硬币，先生。平时我们这里很少需要兑换硬币，这样，就使我们很难确保存一批足够的硬币应付可能的需要量。

M;Oh,yes,I remember that was true in America ,too.I couldn't get any yen coins before I left .

莫顿：哦，是的，我记得在美国也是如此。看来，在我离开之前，可能是一点日本硬币也弄不到了。

C:Our head office may keep a supply of coins ,but branches rarely do .So we just exchange the bills and make up any difference in Japanese coins.

职员：我们总行可能提供硬币，但是分行很少有这样做的。因此，我们只能兑换纸币并用日本硬币补齐差额。
