「句」細靡遺
◎I want this package sent to Taichung.我要把這個包裹寄到台中。
顧客到郵局寄送包裹是家常便飯,可是當外國顧客要寄包裹時,他們會怎麼用英文表達呢?以下介紹相關句型:
.I want this package delivered to +地方.(我想要把這個包裹寄到……。)
= I'd like to send this package to +地方.
.This package needs to be sent to + 地方. (這個包裹必須寄到……。)
例:Customer:I want this package delivered to Kaohsiung. (顧客︰我想要把這個包裹寄到高雄。)
Clerk:No problem. Just let me weigh it. (行員︰沒問題。我來秤秤看多重。)
字字珠璣
◎overnight delivery隔日快遞= next-day delivery
快遞的常見種類:
.same-day delivery 當日送達快遞
.cash on delivery 貨到付款(簡稱COD)
.special delivery for local products 特產快遞
◎document .文件
例:There are some confidential documents in the safe. (保險箱裡有一些機密文件。)
