天天热句【旅游英语系列】：我想知道是否有人交来一本护照【第72期】（10-02-08）

I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport.

我想知道是否有人交来一本护照。

情景模拟：
A: Excuse me, could you help me?
对不起，能不能帮我一个忙？
B: Yes. What seems to be the problem?
好的。有什么问题吗？
A: Well, I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport.
我想知道是否有人交来一本护照。
B: I'm afraid not. Have you lost your passport?
恐怕没有。你遗失了护照？
A: I think so. I can't find it anywhere in my hotel room, and I remember the last place I used it yesterday was in this department store. Oh, I seem to lose something every time I travel.
我想是的。我在饭店的房间里都找不到。我记得昨天最后用护照的地方是在这百货公司.好像我每次旅游都丢东西

失物招领在我国不多见，一般只出现在大型超市或高级宾馆中。而在外国，特别是美国或是英国，失物招领处随处可见。下次东西不见了，记得到A lost and found 找啊。。。
A lost and found (American English and Canadian English), lost property (British English), or lost articles (also Canadian English) is an office in a large public building or area where visitors can go to retrieve lost articles that may have been found by other visitors. Frequently found at museums, amusement parks and schools, a lost and found will typically be a clearly-marked box or room in a location near the main entrance.
Some lost and found offices will try to contact the owners of any lost items if there are any personal identifiers available. Practically all will either sell, give or throw away items after a certain period has passed to clear their storage
