CARL: Hello. Excuse me.
SALLY: Yes. Can I help you?
CARL: Do you remember me? I just had lunch here a half hour ago.
SALLY: Of course I remember you.
CARL: I think I lost my wallet here.
SALLY: Oh, no. Really? I didn't see anything.
CARL: Really? You didn't find a wallet?
SALLY: No, I didn't. Would you like to go look by the table with me?
CARL: Yes, I would. It's not here. And it's not on the floor.
Has anyone sat at this table since we left?
SALLY: No. It's been empty the whole time.
CARL: Hmm. I don't know how it could have happened.
SALLY: I remember, sir, that your friend took the bill.
You didn't pay for the lunch yourself, did you?
CARL: No. My friend did.
SALLY: Then are you sure you took your wallet out of your pocket while you were here?
CARL: No, I'm not sure. But I usually take out my wallet when I sit down.
It's un#fortable to sit on it. So I usually put it next to me on the table.
SALLY: Maybe you lost it before you came here. Or maybe you left it at home.
CARL: I don't think it's at home. I think I had it when I left the house.
But what should I do?
SALLY: Well, the first thing you should do is make sure it's not at home.
Then, if it isn't, you need to call your credit card #panies and cancel your cards.
Next, you need to replace whatever you lost , your driver's license, things like that.
CARL: Should I call the police?
SALLY: You can if you want. But the police usually don't do anything about lost wallets.
CARL: Hmm. I'll go home and check. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's at home.
SALLY: I'm sorry we couldn't find it, sir.
CARL: Thanks for your help.
卡尔:哈啰,请问一下。
莎莉:请说,我能帮你吗?
卡尔:你记得我吗?刚刚一小时前我在这里吃午餐。
莎莉:当然我记得你。
卡尔:我的皮夹掉在这里。
莎莉:不会吧,真的吗?我没有看到。
卡尔:真的吗?你没发现到皮夹?
莎莉:没有。你要跟我到桌子那边看看吗?
卡尔:好的。不在这里,也不在地上。
我们走后这一桌有人坐吗?
莎莉:没有,一直是空着的。
卡尔:我不知道怎么会这样。
莎莉:先生,我记得是你朋友付帐的。
你没有付自己的午餐钱,不是吗?
卡尔:是的,是我朋友付的。
莎莉:那么你确定在这里你曾从口袋拿出皮夹来吗?
卡尔:我不确定。但是通常我坐下来时,会把皮夹拿出来。
坐在上面很不舒服,所以通常我把它放在桌子上的旁边。
莎莉:可能你来这里之前就掉了,或是你遗忘在家里。
卡尔:我想不会在家里,我记得出门时带着。
我该怎么办呢?
莎莉:首先你要确定不是放在家里。
如果不是,你要打电话到信用卡公司取消信用卡。
接下来你要重办遗失的证件,像是驾照之类的东西。
卡尔:要报警吗?
莎莉:如果你要的话可以。但是警察通常不处理皮夹遗失的案件。
卡尔:我会回家找找看。也许你是对的,也许是放在家里。
莎莉:很抱歉,我们没有找到,先生。
卡尔:谢谢你的帮忙。
