Dialog Ⅱ At the Lost-and-Found Office在失物招领处

At the lost-and-found office of a deportment store,a traveler is reporting the loss of his passport.

Tourist:Excuseme,could you help me?

Staff:Yes.What's the problem?

Tourist:Well,Iwaswondering if anyone has turned in a passport.

Staff:I'm afraid not.Have you lost your passport?

Tourist: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.

Staff:Where exactly did you use your passport in the store?

Tourist:In the suit-dress department.Ihad to show it to pay for these dresses with my traveler's check.

Staff:Well,letme call the suit-dress department to see if they've found a passport.

(Aminute later)

Staff:Sorry,your passport has not been turned in there,either.

Tourist:Then what should Ido?

Staff:You can fill in this lost property report,and I'll keepmy 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.

Tourist:You're right.Do you have a pen?

Staff:Here you are.

Tourist:Oh,it seems that I lose something every time I travel.

Staff:We'll let you know as soon as your passport is turned in.

Tourist:Thank you.
