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：你能帮我查一本书吗？

图书员：当然可以啊，请告诉我作者的名字。

本杰明：我记得不太清楚了。好像是查尔斯……

图书员：查尔斯?狄更斯吗？

本杰明：不不不，我对文学不是很感兴趣。

图书员：好，那你知道书名吗？

本杰明：对不起，我总是很健忘。我记得我放了个便条在我的口袋里。

图书员：那把便条给我看看。

本杰明：我现在找不到了。

图书员：那真是倒霉啊，先生。那你知道书是哪一类的吗？

本杰明：让我想想啊，不是科幻小说。是自传。

图书员：好的，我帮你搜索一下。请等一会儿。

本杰明：谢谢。

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.
