I Forgot My Card

Xiao Hong goes to the library to borrow a dictionary, only to realize she's left her card at home — luckily, a kind staff member steps in to help.

At the library

下午两点,小红走进,里面很。

xiàwǔliǎngdiǎn,xiǎohóngzǒujìntúshūguǎn,lǐmiànhěnānjìng。

At two in the afternoon, Xiao Hong walked into the library; it was very quiet inside.

她想找一本汉语,可是书太多了。

tāxiǎngzhǎoyìběnhànyǔcídiǎn,kěshìshūtàiduōle。

She wanted to find a Chinese dictionary, but there were just too many books.

她想了想,走到前面问。

tāxiǎnglexiǎng,zǒudàoqiánmiànwènfúwùyuán。

After thinking it over, she walked up to the front to ask one of the staff.

Forgot the card

Xiao Hong

您好,我想一本,可以吗?

nínhǎo,wǒxiǎngjièyìběncídiǎn,kěyǐma?

Hello, I'd like to borrow a dictionary — is that okay?

Staff member

可以呀,你的图书呢?

kěyǐya,nǐdetúshūkǎne?

Of course. Where's your library card?

Xiao Hong

啊,我的……在家里了!

a,wǒdekǎ……wàngzàijiālǐle!

Oh no, my card… I left it at home!

Staff member

没关系,告诉我你叫什么名字就行。

méiguānxì,gàosùwǒnǐjiàoshénmemíngzìjiùxíng。

No problem — just tell me your name and that'll do.

Borrowing the book

Xiao Hong

我叫王小红,谢谢您!

wǒjiàowángxiǎohóng,xièxiènín!

My name is Wang Xiaohong. Thank you so much!

在电脑上看了看,找到了她的名字。

fúwùyuánzàidiànnǎoshàngkànlekàn,zhǎodàoletādemíngzì。

The staff member glanced at the computer and found her name.

Staff member

找到啦,这本书可以两个星期。

zhǎodàolā,zhèběnshūkěyǐjièliǎnggèxīngqī。

Found it! You can borrow this book for two weeks.

小红拿着,笑着走出了。

xiǎohóngnázhecídiǎn,xiàozhezǒuchūletúshūguǎn。

Holding the dictionary, Xiao Hong walked out of the library with a smile.
