L=Laundress J=Joey

L：Hi, what can I do for you

J：Hi! I need to have this tuxedo dry cleaned, and have the sweater, the shirt, and the pants laundered.

L：Is it O.K.to have this sweater laundered Aren't you worried that it will shrink

J：No problem, it's not real wool. It's made of synthetic fiber, and I've already had it washed many times.

L：O.K. As you wish. So, let me give you a receipt: one tuxedo dry cleaned, and one sweater, one shirt, and one pair of pants laundered. Your total will be $30 even.

J：Oops, I didn't bring enough money. What are your terms of payment

L：Sir, you need to pay at least half of the price.

J：Good, that helps. Here's a twenty.

L：Let me write down you've paid $20. O.K.! Here is the receipt. You can use it to get your clothes back after 6 pm tomorrow.

J：Thanks.

洗衣員：嗨！需要什麼服務嗎？

喬伊：你好！我這件燕尾服要乾洗，這件毛衣、襯衫和褲子要水洗。

洗衣員：這件毛衣水洗沒問題嗎？您會不會擔心縮水？

喬伊：沒問題，它不是真毛衣，它是合成纖維，而且我已經用水洗過好幾次了。

洗衣員：好吧，就照您所說的。那讓我給您一張收據：一件燕尾服乾洗，一件毛衣、一件襯衫和一件褲子水洗。總共30元。

喬伊：喔！我沒有帶夠錢。你們接受哪些付款方式？

洗衣員：至少要付一半的錢。

喬伊：好的，那可以。這裡是20元。

洗衣員：讓我記下來，您已經付了20元。好了，這是您的收據。明天六點後，麻煩您帶著收據來拿衣服。

喬伊：謝謝。
