His First Bank Card

Heading to the bank alone for the first time to get his first bank card, Xiao Zhang fumbles and forgets his ID, but a patient teller helps him get it done.

Walking into the bank

上午九点,小张走进银行。

shàngwǔjiǔdiǎn,xiǎozhāngzǒujìnyínháng。

At nine in the morning, Xiao Zhang walked into the bank.

这是他第一次自己来卡。

zhèshìtādìyīcìzìjǐláibànkǎ。

It was the first time he had come on his own to open a card.

银行里人不多,他坐下来,手里拿着一张纸。

yínhánglǐrénbùduō,tāzuòxiàlái,shǒulǐnázheyìzhāngzhǐ。

The bank wasn't crowded, so he sat down, a slip of paper in his hand.

He forgot his papers

Teller

您好,请问您要什么?

nínhǎo,qǐngwènnínyàobànshénme?

Hello, what can I help you with today?

Xiao Zhang

我想一张。

I'd like to open a bank card.

Teller

好的。您的了吗?

Of course. Did you bring your ID card?

Xiao Zhang

啊……我放在家里了,怎么呢?

a……wǒfàngzàijiālǐle,zěnmebànne?

Oh... I left it at home. What should I do now?

Finally done

Teller

别,您家远吗?回去拿一下吧。

biézháojí,nínjiāyuǎnma?huíqùnáyíxiàba。

Don't worry. Do you live far? Just pop home and grab it.

半个小时以后,小张跑回来了,脸红红的。

bàngèxiǎoshíyǐhòu,xiǎozhāngpǎohuíláile,liǎnhónghóngde。

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhang came running back, his face all red.

Teller

这是您的新卡,一定要啊。

zhèshìníndexīnkǎ,mìmǎyídìngyàojìzhùa。

Here's your new card. Be sure to remember your PIN.

Xiao Zhang

谢谢您!下次我不会再忘了。

xièxiènín!xiàcìwǒbúhuìzàiwàngle。

Thank you! I won't forget again next time.
