實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：失而復(fù)得 Lost and Found

I'm going to talk a little bit about an embarrassing situation. In Japan, I've lost my wallet four times. The first time I lost my wallet I was in a taxi cab going home late at night and my wallet slipped out of my pocket and I didn't notice. The second time I lost my wallet I went to a night club with my friends and I drank too much and I wasn't paying attention and I left my wallet on the counter of the bar. The third time I lost my wallet I was hiking in a mountain region in Japan and I went into a small convenience store on the way home and I bought an ice-cream and I left my wallet on the counter and forgot about it. The fourth time I lost my wallet I was in Ueno station, a really, really busy station in Tokyo and I left my wallet on the counter at a supermarket, and the most amzing thing is that I still have the same wallet. In each of these instances I got my wallet back. In two of the cases the person at the store called me and I just had to go back to the store and get it. In one instance, the person that ran the convenient store in the mountains mailed me my wallet, and another time I had to go to the police station and pick it up, but I think that says a lot about Japanese people. They're very, very honest and sometimes I think maybe Japan is the only country in the world where you could lose your wallet four times and still get it back.

我要說(shuō)一件有些尷尬的事情。在日本的時(shí)候，我的錢(qián)包丟了四次。我第一次弄丟錢(qián)包是在出租車(chē)上，當(dāng)時(shí)時(shí)間非常晚了我坐出租車(chē)回家，我的錢(qián)包從口袋里滑了出去，我并沒(méi)有注意到。第二次丟錢(qián)包是在我和朋友去夜店的時(shí)候，我喝了太多酒，沒(méi)有意識(shí)到我把錢(qián)包落在了吧臺(tái)上。我第三次丟錢(qián)包是在日本山區(qū)徒步旅行的時(shí)候，我在回家的路上走進(jìn)一家小便利店買(mǎi)了冰激凌，我把錢(qián)包落在柜臺(tái)并完全忘了這件事。第四次是在上野車(chē)站，那是東京一個(gè)非常非常繁忙的車(chē)站，我把錢(qián)包落在了超市的柜臺(tái)，最神奇的事情是現(xiàn)在我仍然在用這個(gè)錢(qián)包。每次這些情況發(fā)生后，我都把錢(qián)包找了回來(lái)。其中有兩次是店員叫住了我，我回到商店找回了錢(qián)包。還有一次是經(jīng)營(yíng)山區(qū)便利店的人把我的錢(qián)包寄還給我，另一次是我去警察局找回了錢(qián)包，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為這很能說(shuō)明日本人的特質(zhì)。他們非常非常誠(chéng)實(shí)，有時(shí)我認(rèn)為日本可能是世界上唯一一個(gè)即使你的錢(qián)包丟了四次也總能找回來(lái)的國(guó)家。
