在日本與銀行員工交流語言不通該怎么辦
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Hey, Michele.
 
嗨，米歇爾。
 
B: Hi.
 
嗨。
 
A: You don't look very happy. What happened?
 
你看起來不太高興。發(fā)生什么事了？
 
B: Oh, well, I'm a little bit frustrated.
 
哦，我有些沮喪？
 
A: Why?
 
為什么？
 
B: Well, I went to the bank today and I couldn't communicate well because my Japanese wasn't good enough and the bank teller didn't speak English.
 
我今天去銀行了，可是我的日語不太好，銀行職員又不會說英語，所以我們的溝通不好。
 
A: What were you trying to do?
 
你去銀行做什么？
 
B: Well, I've ordered a ticket to go to Australia and I have to send the money to the travel agency and they only accept one form of payment. They want me to send a bank transfer.
 
我訂了張飛澳大利亞的機票，我要把錢匯給旅行社，那家旅行社只接受一種付款方式。他們讓我通過銀行轉賬。
 
A: OK.
 
好。
 
B: So, I have a post office account and I can't do it through the post office, so I went to the bank and I started to explain that I want to send.... do a bank transfer.
 
我有郵局賬戶，可是不能通過郵局匯款，所以我去了銀行，試圖和銀行職員說明我要轉賬。
 
A: Right.
 
嗯。
 
B: And because I'm a foreigner, I think she thought I wanted to send money abroad and she was saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, you can't do that here" but I had to explain, "No, no. I just want to send it within Japan," but I don't know, because I don't have an account at that bank there was some sort of problem and she wanted me to fill out a form and I didn't really understand it.
 
因為我是外國人，我想她可能認為我要往外國匯款，所以她說：“抱歉，在這里你不能這么做”，然后我解釋說，“不是，我只是想在日本境內(nèi)轉賬”，可能因為我沒有在那家銀行開設賬戶，所以有一些問題，她想讓我先填表，可是我看不懂那張表。
 
A: Right, and then the form is in Japanese.
 
好，那張表上是日語。
 
B: Yes, so now I have the form. I guess I'll have to go find a friend to help me with...
 
對，我把那張表拿回來了。我想我要去找個朋友幫我……
 
A: You never solved the problem.
 
你沒有解決問題。
 
B: No, no. I just took the form and said, "OK, I'll take it and come back."
 
不是。我拿了表以后，跟她說：“表我拿走了，我很快回來。”
 
A: How long were you there?
 
你在銀行待了多長時間？
 
B: Not too long, maybe five or ten minutes. There weren't many people in the bank but I still felt like, oh I'm taking up too much time here or something.
 
時間并不長，可能也就五到十分鐘。當時銀行里人不多，不過我還是覺得我占用了太多時間。
 
A: So, you just gave up and...
 
所以你就放棄了……
 
B: Yes.
 
對。
 
A: Well, I'll have to take you over to my landlord here. This Japanese woman is really nice and she'll... I'm sure she'll help you fill out the form.
 
我?guī)闳フ椅业姆繓|吧。我的房東是名日本女性，她人非常好，我確定她會幫你填表。
 
B: Oh, really.
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
A: And take care of you. Yeah.
 
她會幫你處理。對。
 
B: Oh, that's great.
 
哦，那真是太好了。
