Elouise receives a gift blender from her aunt. She already owns the exact same blender. She decides to return it for store credit.
埃卢伊丝收到姑姑送的一台搅拌机作为礼物。她已经有一台一模一样的了。她决定把它退掉,换成店内购物额度。
She checks every drawer at home. She finds no receipt anywhere. She drives to the store anyway.
她翻遍了家里的每个抽屉,哪儿都没找到小票。她还是开车去了店里。
"I don't have a receipt," Elouise tells the clerk. A woman named Selby looks at the box.
“我没有小票。”埃卢伊丝对店员说。一位名叫塞尔比的女士看了看盒子。
"That's okay," Selby says. "I can look it up with your card." Elouise hands over her credit card.
“没关系,”塞尔比说,“我可以用您的卡查一下。”埃卢伊丝递过了她的信用卡。
Selby types the card number into the computer. The purchase appears on the screen right away. "Found it," she says.
塞尔比把卡号输入电脑。这笔购买记录立刻出现在屏幕上。“找到了。”她说。
"Great," Elouise says. "What happens now?" Selby prints a new receipt and hands it back.
“太好了,”埃卢伊丝说,“接下来怎么办?”塞尔比打印了一张新小票,递了回来。
"I can give you store credit today," Selby says. Elouise nods and picks a new item instead.
“今天我可以给您退成店内购物额度。”塞尔比说。埃卢伊丝点点头,改选了别的东西。
She chooses a set of kitchen towels. Selby scans the new item. The store credit covers the whole cost.
她挑了一套厨房毛巾。塞尔比扫描了这件新商品。店内购物额度刚好付清了全部费用。
Elouise thanks Selby and walks out with her towels. She leaves the blender box at the counter. Her aunt never learns about the switch.
埃卢伊丝谢过塞尔比,拿着毛巾走了出去。她把搅拌机的盒子留在了柜台上。她姑姑永远不会知道这次调换。
