【在生活中學習語言】Registered Letter 掛號信
2008年10月09日蘋果日報
對話
Customer:I'm calling because I was supposed to get a registered letter in the mail.
顧客︰我打電話來是要查詢我應該要收到的一封掛號信。
Clerk:All registered letters are on the truck which is out doing deliveries until 3:30 PM.
行員︰所有的掛號信均已上車寄送,一直會送到下午 3 點半。
Customer:What should I do?
顧客︰我該怎麼做?
Clerk:Stay home and wait for it to arrive. If you miss the mail carrier in the next few days, there will be a sticker on your mailbox. If there is, come back here to sign for your letter and pick it up.
行員︰請在家等候送信。要是接下來幾天郵差送信時您都不在,就會在信箱上貼一張紙條。倘若如此,請來郵局簽收並領回您的信件。


「句」細靡遺
◎All registered letters are on the truck which is out doing deliveries until 3:30 PM.
所有的掛號信均已上車寄送,一直會送到下午3時30分。
告知顧客掛號信已經上車寄送,而無人簽收的信件會在之後送回郵局的其他說法如下:
.The truck is delivering registered letters until 12:00 PM.
=Until 12:00 PM, the truck is delivering registered letters.(郵件車正在發送掛號信到中午12時。)
.The truck with all the registered letters doesn't get back/return/come back until 5:00 PM.(發送掛號信的車子到下午5時才會回來。)


字字珠璣
◎be supposed to V 應該╱應當……
例:Larry was supposed to help me paint the house, but he canceled at the last minute.
(賴瑞本來應該要幫我粉刷屋子,但他卻在最後一刻取消了。)
◎mail 郵件,信件& vt.郵寄
mail當「信件」、「郵件」時,乃各種郵遞品之總稱,是不可數集合名詞。
例:There isn’t much mail today.(今天信件不多。)
.in the mail收到的信件;信件在郵寄中,已寄出
例:Jim received a package in the mail today.(吉姆今天在送來的信件中收到一份包裹。)
