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(zhuǎn)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(zhuǎn)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(rèn)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(zhuǎn)賬”,可能因為我沒有在那家銀行開設(shè)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(dāng)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。
