At the Post Office在郵局
【Conversations】
Sending a parcel to Taiwan from Britain 從英國寄包裹到台灣
Tim：Good morning, I want to send this parcel to Taiwan.
Post officer：Airmail or surface mail?
Tim：How long would surface mail take, compared with airmail?
Post officer：Oh, anything up to 3 or 4 months for surface mail. It depends on the sailing of the ships. Airmail would only take 1 to 2 weeks.
Tim：How much would this parcel cost me by airmail?
Post officer：Just let me weigh it for you. That’s 2 lb. and 6 oz. That’d be £10.
Tim：Thanks. That’ll be OK.
提姆：早安，我想寄這個包裹到台灣。
郵局人員：航空郵件還是普通郵件？
提姆：和航空郵件相比，普通郵件需要花多久的時間。
郵局人員：嗯，普通郵件需要三到四個月，視船的航行情況而定。航空郵件只要花一到兩星期。
提姆：這個包裹的航空郵費是多少？
郵局人員：我來幫你秤一下重量，兩磅六盎司。需要十英鎊。
提姆：謝謝。這樣可以。
