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.

本傑明：你好，我來取我的衣服，這是發票。

洗衣工：好的，稍等。我給您取去。

（過了一會兒）

洗衣工：這些是您的。我們已經熨燙過了。請檢查一下看是否有損壞。

本傑明：恐怕這裏掉了顆釦子。

洗衣工：非常抱歉。您看我們今天太忙了，忘記給您縫上去了。您稍等一下，馬上就好。

本傑明：好的。

洗衣工：您看一下吧，滿意嗎？

本傑明：噢，天哪，恐怕又有一個問題。襯衣上還有個污點呢？

洗衣工：好像不是那樣的。抱歉先生，我們試了所有的方法，但是都不能從襯衣上去除那個污點。我想那應該是糖漬。

本傑明：已經過了很多天了，我不確定。

洗衣工：是的，在乾洗的過程中，糖糊掉了。然後就是這樣了。

本傑明：噢，那太糟了。我不知道會這樣，有什麼可以補救嗎？

洗衣工：非常抱歉。請下次乾洗前告訴我們那是什麼污點。

本傑明：好的，我會的。

洗衣工：這是一張會員卡。下次來能打八折。

本傑明：非常感謝。

洗衣工：下次再來，我們將提供最好的服務。
