Dialogue Script 對話原文

Inspector: Do you have anything to declare?

Tom: No, I don't think so.

Inspector: Well, would you mind opening this bag?

Tom: I guess not, although I might not be able to close it again.

Inspector: Aha, what are these magazines?

Tom: Oh, dear, I didn't realize I still had those.

Inspector: Well, sir, since we are very strict about pornography, I will have to confiscate them.

Tom: Certainly.

Inspector: And what's this? Three bottles of whiskey.

Tom: That's the legal limit.

Inspector: Yes, but what about these two six packs of wine spritzers?

Tom: Oh, , it's just a fun drink, it's not really alcohol.

Inspector: Says here 4%. I'm afraid you'll have to choose.

Tom: OK, take the spritzers.

Inspector: And what's this?

Tom: An aloe, plant good for the health.

Inspector: It's illegal to bring it into the country, sorry. Well, I guess that about takes care of everything.

Tom: You are not kidding! You've taken most of my souvenirs from the States.

Inspector: Well, think of it this way, now you'll be able to shut your bag, no problem.講解：

1.這段對話說的是Tom在美國旅行結束後回國時在機場海關遇到檢查的事。無論在什麼時候出境，在機場你都會遇到海關的檢查。所有國家的海關都會規定各自國家的禁入或者禁出物品（forbidden items or restricted items），其中包括各種可能帶菌的植物、水果、肉類、酒類、毒品以及武器彈藥自然都在違禁之列。日用品象摩絲、剃鬚膏等根本就不能帶上飛機。海關人員一般都是非常友好的。可是如果遇到什麼緊急情況，比如美國在911之後，對海關的檢查就非常非常的嚴格。不過不用擔心，只要你在出國或回國時搞清楚這個國家海關的規定就不會有問題了。

2.海關人員一般會這樣問你：Do you have anything to declare? 或者Anything to declare?你是否帶有需要申報納稅的物品？如果你不知道哪些東西需要納稅，就可以問一句，Could you tell me what things have duty on them? 你能告訴我哪些東西需要納稅嗎？

3.一些在海關常會用到的表達方式：

Any arms，munitions, living plants, or animals?
有武器彈藥和活的動植物嗎？

Do you have to pay duty on the liquor and cigarettes?
煙和酒要交稅嗎？

All this luggage is mine.
這些行李都是我的。

I have a suitcase and a traveling bag.
我有一個手提箱和一個旅行包。

Take a look, please.
請檢查吧。

I have a few things to declare.
我有一些東西需要申報。

I don't think I have anything to declare.
我沒什麼東西要申報的。

These items are for personal use.
這些東西都是私人物品。

How long will it take us to get through the customs.
通過海關檢查要多長時間。

Where should I go through the custom?
海關在哪？

I only have shirts and things like that.
我只有襯衫一類的東西。
