Unit 13 - Renting Video Tapes 租录影带-3

CAROL: I see. And when I rent tapes, how long can I keep them? 卡萝:这样啊。当我租了片子,可以保留多久?

LISA: New releases are usually 24 hours. Normal movies are three to five days, depending on the movie. 莉莎:新片通常是 24 小时。 一般的片子是三到五天,要看片子而定。

CAROL: Hmm. If I rent a new release, and I keep it for two days, do I have to pay extra? 卡萝:唔,如果我租新片两天,必须加钱吗?

LISA: Yes, I'm afraid so. The late charges for new releases is 3 dollars a day. 莉莎:是的,新片迟还一天加 收3美元。

CAROL: Wow, that's expensive. 卡萝:哇,好贵喔!

LISA: I'm sorry, Ma'am. The reason we have that policy is because the new releases are very popular. We want to make sure the tape is in stock so all our customers have a chance to rent it. 莉莎:对不起,太太。这个规定是因为新片很受欢迎。我们要确保片子有存货,这样我们所有的顾客都有机会租到。

CAROL: Alright. I guess I'll join. Can you give me a form to fill out?
卡萝:好的,我加入。你可以给我表格填写吗?

LISA: Sure, Ma'am. We'd be happy to have you as one of our members. 莉莎:当然可以,很高兴你成为我们的会员。
