A:What can I do for you?能为你做点什么?
B:I've got a suit, a woolen sweater and a white shirt to wash.我有一套西服、一件羊毛衫和一件白色衬衣要洗。
A:OK, let me see. This white shirt can be washed in water with hands, but this suit and the woolen sweater should be dry-cleaned.好的,我看看。白色衬衣可以用水受洗,但这西服和羊毛衫得干洗。
B:That's OK. But that must be costly.好的,但是那肯定很贵。
A:Yes, the cost for dry-cleaning is three times of that for ordinary laundering. But for suits and sweaters, you can only take them to the dry cleaners'.是的,干洗的价钱是普通洗衣的三倍,但是西服和羊毛衫你只能干洗。
B:Oh, my wife just threw them into the washer.噢,我妻子就只是把它们放洗衣机里洗。
A:Did it ever shrink or fade? Generally speaking, the dark-colored clothes always fade away gradually.那缩水或退色了吗?一般来说,深色衣服是会慢慢退色的。
B:I see. The woolen sweater shrunk in the wash.哦。羊毛衫洗后缩水了。
A:Never mind. You can leave them to me.不用担心。交给我就行了。
B:Oh, thanks. You know, I know little about this, so please tell me something that I should pay more attention to when I do washing.哦,谢谢。你看,我对此了解很少,请告诉我一些洗衣服时需要注意的事项吧。
A:It's very simple. Divide the clothes by the colors, and wash them in cold water. If you've got some special stains on them like sugar, coffee or something else please let the dry cleaner know.很简单。把衣服按颜色分类,在冷水中洗。如果上面有特殊的污渍,像咖啡或是其他什么,干洗时要说明。
B:I'll keep that in mind. And how much is it altogether?我会记住的。一共多少钱呢?
A:That will be 80 Yuan altogether. Here is your invoice.一共80元。这是发票。
