Benjamin: Could you please help me to check out the book?

Librarian: Sure, what's the author's name, please.

Benjamin: I can't remember that clearly. It probably be Charles…

Librarian: Charles Dickens?

Benjamin: No, no, no. I'm not interested in literature.

Librarian: OK, do you know the title of the book?

Benjamin: Oh, sorry. I'm always absent-minded. I remember that I've put a note in my pocket.

Librarian: So, show me the note please.

Benjamin: I can't find it now.

Librarian: Oh, such bad luck, sir. Can you please name the category of the book?

Benjamin: Let me see. It's not fiction. It's biography.

Librarian: OK, I'll search it for you. A moment, please.

Benjamin: Thanks.

本杰明：你能幫我查一本書嗎？

圖書員：當然可以啊，請告訴我作者的名字。

本杰明：我記得不太清楚了。好像是查爾斯……

圖書員：查爾斯?狄更斯嗎？

本杰明：不不不，我對文學不是很感興趣。

圖書員：好，那你知道書名嗎？

本杰明：對不起，我總是很健忘。我記得我放了個便條在我的口袋里。

圖書員：那把便條給我看看。

本杰明：我現在找不到了。

圖書員：那真是倒霉啊，先生。那你知道書是哪一類的嗎？

本杰明：讓我想想啊，不是科幻小說。是自傳。

圖書員：好的，我幫你搜索一下。請等一會兒。

本杰明：謝謝。

Librarian: I am a librarian in our city library. My job calls for great patience because there are so many people with a poor memory. They would always ask you to check out a book without telling you the author's name or even the title of the book. Anyway, I still like my job.
