Police officer: Good morning, sir. May I help you?

Benjamin: Good morning. I need a new identification card.

Police officer: Why?

Benjamin: My ID card is lost.

Police officer: OK, did you bring your household register or residence booklet?

Benjamin: I only have my household register.

Police officer: It doesn't matter, they are the same thing.

Benjamin: Here you are, sir. What do I do next?

Police officer: OK, I will register you in our database system. What's your name, please?

Benjamin: Benjamin.

Police officer: Please get a mug shot in the next room.

Benjamin: I've brought with me some of old ones.

Police officer: But we need them taken with digital cameras.

Benjamin: OK, what's next then?

Police officer: That's all. Come here a week later and get your ID card.

警察：早上好，先生。我能帮您做点什么吗？

本杰明：早上好。我想办一张新的身份证。

警察：怎么啦？

本杰明：我的身份证丢了。

警察：好的，您带户口簿或是户口本了吗？

本杰明：我只带了户口簿。

警察：没关系，它们是一回事。

本杰明：这就是，警官。我下面做什么？

警察：好的，我把您登记在我们的数据系统。您的名字叫什么？

本杰明：本杰明。

警察：请在隔壁房间照一张脸部照 片。

本杰明：我带来了几张我的旧照片。

警察：但我们需要几张用数码相机照的。

本杰明：好的，然后呢？

警察：就这些了。一星期后来拿你的身份证。

Benjamin: To get a new ID card is not a very complicated thing. You can just go to the police office and take a mug shot on digital camera, then just wait till it's done. The only thing to care about is that don't forget to bring the household register with you, without which they can't get it done.
