Laundryman: What can I do for you?

Benjamin: I've got a suit, a woolen sweater and a white shirt to wash.

Laundryman: OK, let me see. This white shirt can be washed in water with hands, but this suit and the woolen sweater should be dry-cleaned.

Benjamin: That's OK. But that must be costly.

Laundryman: Yes, the cost for dry-cleaning is three times of that for ordinary laundering. But for suits and sweaters, you can only take them to the dry cleaners'.

Benjamin: Oh, my wife just threw them into the washer.

Laundryman: Did it ever shrink or fade? Generally speaking, the dark-colored clothes always fade away gradually.

Benjamin: I see. The woolen sweater shrunk in the wash.

Laundryman: Never mind. You can leave them to me.

Benjamin: Oh, thanks. You know, I know little about this, so please tell me something that I should pay more attention to when I do washing.

Laundryman: It's very simple. Divide the clothes by the colors, and wash them in cold water. If you've got some special stains on them like sugar, coffee or something else please let the dry cleaner know.

Benjamin: I'll keep that in mind. And how much is it altogether?

Laundryman: That will be 80 Yuan altogether. Here is your invoice.

Benjamin: It's a bit too expensive.

Laundryman: It's worth every cent.

Benjamin: That's fine. Now, when shall I pick them up?

Laundryman: Usually it takes three days to have laundry done. Please pick them up on Friday.

Benjamin: OK, thanks.

聽看學(xué)

洗衣工：能為你做點什么？

本杰明：我有一套西服、一件羊毛衫和一件白色襯衣要洗。

洗衣工：好的，我看看。白色襯衣可以用水受洗，但這西服和羊毛衫得干洗。

本杰明：好的，但是那肯定很貴。

洗衣工：是的，干洗的價錢是普通洗衣的三倍，但是西服和羊毛衫你只能干洗。

本杰明：噢，我妻子就只是把它們放洗衣機里洗。

洗衣工：那縮水或退色了嗎？一般來說，深色衣服是會慢慢退色的。

本杰明：哦。羊毛衫洗后縮水了。

洗衣工：不用擔心。交給我就行了。

本杰明：哦，謝謝。你看，我對此了解很少，請告訴我一些洗衣服時需要注意的事項吧。

洗衣工：很簡單。把衣服按顏色分類，在冷水中洗。如果上面有特殊的污漬，像咖啡或是其他什么，干洗時要說明。

本杰明：我會記住的。一共多少錢呢？

洗衣工：一共80元。這是發(fā)票。

本杰明：有點太貴了。

洗衣工：很值得了。

本杰明：好吧，我什么時候來取呢？

洗衣工：一般洗衣需要三天，請星期五來取吧。

本杰明：好的，謝謝了。
