玛丽亚:我想把这个包裹寄到利物浦。

杰基:里面装的是什么?

玛丽亚:一个花瓶。

杰基:航空还是平寄?

玛丽亚:航空吧,虽然比平寄要贵一些。

杰基:您希望保险吗?

玛丽亚:因为它容易打破,我愿意投保。请给它保100美元。

杰基:好的。请您填写这份表格并清楚地注明包裹内装有何物及其价值。

玛丽亚:好的,我要付多少钱?

杰基:我首先得称一下包裹重量。哦,邮资是70美元。

玛丽亚:给你钱,谢谢。

Notes 注释

package [p 8kid] n. 包裹

insure [inu] v. 投保

ordinary [dinri] a. 普通的

小叮咛

①Since it can be broke easily, I would like to insure it. 因为它容易打破,我愿意投保。since侧重主句,从句表示显然的或已为人所知的理由,常译为“因为”、“既然”,语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首,表示一种含有勉强语气的原因。例如:Since you have finished the work, let’s go to the park. 既然你已把工作做完了,我们去公园吧。
