美語情景對話 第152期:郵局 Post Office

Todd: OK, Laura, I'm going to ask you questions about the post office in Hong Kong. OK, or just sending letters. How often do you write letters?

Laura，我想問你些關於香港郵局的問題，嗯，或者說就是寄信。你多久寫一次信？

Laura: Well, when I was young, I wrote quite often to my pen pals, but right now, instead of sending a letter I usually send my friends e-mails.

嗯，在我小的時候，我經常跟我的筆友寫信，但現在，我們通常是互發電子郵件。

Todd: Yeah! Me, too. How much does it cost to send a postcard in Hong Kong overseas?

對呀！我也是。在香港向海外寄張明信片要花多少錢？

Laura: Well, to Asian countries, it costs about two dollars, two Hong Kong dollars. To European countries it costs about three dollars.

嗯，寄向亞洲國家，要花兩港幣。寄向歐洲國家要花三港幣。

Todd: OK, and when you send mail in Hong Kong, do you send it from your house, or do you..

好的，那在香港寄郵件的時候你是從你家寄過去還是……

Laura: Well, we have to go the post office in order to send letters or parcels.

寄信寄包裹的話我們只能去郵局。

Todd: Really, OK! Cause it's so crowded in Hong Kong that...

是嘛！那好！因爲香港人真的是太多了……

Laura: Well, Yes, Yes!

恩，是，是！

Todd: OK, and in Japan do you receive a lot of mail?

那你在日本收過信件嗎？

Laura: Right now, no. Well, because it's so convenient to use the e-mails or instant communication or telephone.

還沒有。因爲使用電子郵件或即時通信再或電話會很方便。

Todd: Yeah, OK last question. What time do post offices open and close?

是的，好，最後一個問題。郵局的工作時間是幾點到幾點？

Laura: Well, it depends on the size of the post office. For large one, so, they work longer. Like from nine in the morning until six, so for a smaller one, from nine to five.

嗯，那要取決於郵局的規模了。大一些的，工作時間會長一點，大概是從早九點到晚六點；然後小一點的是從早九點到晚五點。
