「句」細靡遺
◎It shows that I have a package that I need to pick up.它上頭說我有個待領的包裹。
以下列舉幾種外國顧客要領包裹或信件時的說法,讓您做出正確的反應。
.I guess I have a package/letter to be picked up.(我想我有個包裹∕有封信待領。)
.It looks like someone sent me a package/letter.(好像有人寄包裹∕寄信給我。)
◎...please sign on the dotted line.……請在虛線處簽名。
要請顧客簽名時,有時還需要告訴顧客該把名字簽在哪裡。以下就為您介紹請顧客在各種不同地方簽名的英文說法:
.Please sign (your name)on the (dotted)line(.請在這條(虛)線上簽上您的大名。)
.Please sign (your name)/write your name/put your signature here.(請在這裡簽上您的大名。)
.Please sign (your name)/write your name/put your signature next to the X.(請在 X 旁邊簽上您的大名。)


字字珠璣
◎pick up + 物取某物
例:I will be back to pick up my clothes later.(我晚點會回來拿我的衣物。)
◎note n. 便條;筆記;注釋
例:Rita always leaves a note for me telling me what I need to do.(麗塔總會留張紙條給我,好讓我知道我該做些什麼。)
◎take notes作筆記
