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.

洗衣工:能为你做点什么?
本杰明:我有一套西服、一件羊毛衫和一件白色衬衣要洗。
洗衣工:好的,我看看。白色衬衣可以用水受洗,但这西服和羊毛衫得干洗。
本杰明:好的,但是那肯定很贵。
洗衣工:是的,干洗的价钱是普通洗衣的三倍,但是西服和羊毛衫你只能干洗。
本杰明:噢,我妻子就只是把它们放洗衣机里洗。
洗衣工:那缩水或退色了吗?一般来说,深色衣服是会慢慢退色的。
本杰明:哦。羊毛衫洗后缩水了。
洗衣工:不用担心。交给我就行了。
本杰明:哦,谢谢。你看,我对此了解很少,请告诉我一些洗衣服时需要注意的事项吧。
洗衣工:很简单。把衣服按颜色分类,在冷水中洗。如果上面有特殊的污渍,像咖啡或是其他什么,干洗时要说明。
本杰明:我会记住的。一共多少钱呢?
洗衣工:一共80元。这是发票。
本杰明:有点太贵了。
洗衣工:很值得了。
本杰明:好吧,我什么时候来取呢?
洗衣工:一般洗衣需要三天,请星期五来取吧。
本杰明:好的,谢谢了。
