Front Desk Manners
前台举止
It was a big apartment building. The building was in a big city. Delivery people left packages at the front desk. The front desk held the packages for apartment tenants. Mr. Smith was expecting a package. He stopped at the front desk. Had his package arrived yet? Nora said, "Yes, sir." But only Simon could hand out the packages. "Where's Simon?" Mr. Smith asked. Simon was on break. "He'll be back in 5 minutes, Mr. Smith," said Nora. Twenty minutes later, Simon arrived. Mr. Smith told Simon that he had a package. "Apartment number," said Simon. "3A," said Mr. Smith. Simon went into the package room. He came back about five minutes later. "Sign here," he said. Mr. Smith asked, "Where?" Simon pointed at a blank space in the notebook. Mr. Smith signed in the blank space. Simon gave him the package. Mr. Smith said, "Thank you." Simon said nothing.
这是一栋规模宏大的公寓大楼。大楼矗立在大城市。快递人员将包裹放在前台。前台为公寓住户保存包裹。史密斯先生正在等待着他的包裹。他停留在了前台。包裹来了吗？诺拉称：“是的，先生。但是只有西蒙能够分发这些包裹。”史密斯先生问：“西蒙在哪？”诺拉说：“西蒙正在休息。他将会在五分钟之内回来。”二十分钟之后，西蒙回来了。史密斯先生告诉西蒙说他有一个包裹。西蒙说：“公寓号”。史密斯先生说：“3A”。西蒙进入了包裹室。大约五分钟之后，他回来了。他说：“在这儿签字”。史密斯先生问：“在哪？”西蒙指着笔记本上的空白处。史密斯先生在空白处签了字。西蒙给了他包裹。西蒙先生说：“谢谢”。西蒙说不用谢。
