US Airport Customs-Vacation-Memory
美國機場海關-假期-回憶
Around Christmas one winter,I went to Vancouver with two cousins.I had never been out of the country before.That is why I found out for the first time that we should not take too many things with us when we come back.
在圣誕節前后的一個冬天,我和我的兩位表兄弟(表姐妹)去(加拿大的)溫哥華。之前,我從來沒有出過國。所以這是我第一次了解發現到不應該帶太多的東西回國。
During the vacation,we went to the world famous mall and shopped like crazy.We brought back loads of souvenirs with us.A lot of items were nicely packaged in pretty boxes and gift-wraps. At that time the thought of going through customs never entered my mind.
在假期的期間,我們去了世界著名的購物中心,并且瘋狂地采購。我們買了很多紀念品,其中有很多東西都用漂亮的盒子和包裝紙與彩帶包裝起來。在那個時候,過海關這件事完全不存在我的腦海中。
Before getting out of the airport,the customs inspector checked our bags and told us that we should have filled out a declaration form with a list of the things we bought,along with the value of each item.Now when I go to another country,that experience keeps me from buying too much stuff.
我出機場之前,海關檢查員檢查了我們的箱子,并要我們填寫一份申報表,把我們買的東西(的名稱)及每樣東西的價格都填寫上去。如今,當我去別的國家時,那次的經歷使我不敢(避免)再買太多的東西。
