Reporting a Lost Item · 报告遗失物品
basicHi, I checked out this morning from room 512, and I think I left my phone charger and a pair of reading glasses in the nightstand drawer. Could you check for me?
你好,我今早从512房间退房,我觉得我把手机充电器和一副老花镜忘在床头柜抽屉里了。能帮我查一下吗?
💡 退房后发现遗落物品应尽快联系酒店。说明房间号、退房日期和物品具体位置能帮助工作人员更快找到。酒店通常会保管失物30-90天。
Of course, let me check with housekeeping right away. Can you describe the charger — is it a white cable or a black one? And are the glasses in a case?
当然,我马上联系客房部确认。能描述一下充电器吗——是白色线还是黑色线?眼镜有眼镜盒吗?
The charger is a white USB-C cable with a small white charging brick. The glasses are gold-rimmed, no case — I probably set them on top of the nightstand or in the drawer.
充电器是白色USB-C线配小白充电头。眼镜是金色镜框,没有眼镜盒——可能放在床头柜上或者抽屉里。
💡 描述物品时越具体越好:颜色、品牌、大小、有无标记。这样能避免和其他客人遗落的同类物品混淆。
Great news — housekeeping found both items! The charger was in the drawer and the glasses were on top of the nightstand, just as you described. We've logged them in our lost and found. Would you like to pick them up, or shall we ship them to you?
好消息——客房部两样都找到了!充电器在抽屉里,眼镜在床头柜上,和您说的一样。已经登记到我们的失物招领处了。您想来取还是我们寄给您?
I've already left the city, so shipping would be great. How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
我已经离开这个城市了,所以寄给我吧。需要多少钱,多久能到?
💡 酒店寄回失物通常收取运费(shipping fee),国内一般$10-20。国际邮寄费用更高。有些高档酒店提供免费寄回服务。
Domestic shipping is $12 via USPS Priority Mail — typically 2 to 3 business days. We just need your mailing address and a credit card for the shipping fee. I'll pack everything securely and send you a tracking number by email.
国内USPS优先邮件运费12美元——通常2到3个工作日送达。只需要您的邮寄地址和一张信用卡支付运费。我会安全包装好,邮件发给您快递单号。
Valuable Item Recovery · 贵重物品遗失处理
intermediateI'm calling about something more serious — I think I left my passport and a gold bracelet in the room safe. I checked out of room 720 yesterday morning. Can you please check urgently?
我打电话是关于一件比较严重的事——我觉得我把护照和一条金手链落在了房间保险箱里。我昨天早上从720房间退房的。能紧急帮我查一下吗?
💡 护照是最重要的旅行证件,遗失后要尽快找回。room safe(房间保险箱)退房时如果忘记清空,酒店工作人员通常会在清洁房间时发现并存入失物招领。
I understand the urgency. Let me contact security and housekeeping right now. When the safe is left locked after checkout, only our security team can open it. Can you confirm — did you set a code on the safe, or was it left open?
我理解事情的紧急性。我马上联系安保和客房部。退房后保险箱如果是锁着的,只有安保团队能打开。您确认一下——您设了密码还是保险箱开着的?
I honestly can't remember if I locked it or not — I was rushing to catch a flight. The passport is a blue US passport, and the bracelet is 18-karat gold with a small diamond clasp.
说实话我不记得有没有锁——当时赶着去赶飞机。护照是蓝色美国护照,手链是18K金的,扣子上有一颗小钻石。
💡 描述贵重物品时要尽量详细。珠宝类说明材质(gold/silver)、克拉数和特征(diamond clasp)。护照说明颜色和国籍。这样方便确认是你的物品。
Security just opened the safe — both items are here. Your passport and gold bracelet are safe and accounted for. We'll store them in our secure vault at the front desk. Given the value, I'd recommend picking them up in person with photo ID, or we can arrange insured shipping.
安保刚打开了保险箱——两样东西都在。护照和金手链都安全,已经确认。我们会把它们存放在前台的保险库里。鉴于物品价值,建议您本人带证件来取,或者我们可以安排保价邮寄。
Oh, thank goodness! I'll have my sister pick them up — she lives in the city. Can she collect them on my behalf with a letter of authorization?
太好了,谢天谢地!我让我姐去取——她住在那个城市。她能拿着授权书代我领取吗?
💡 让他人代取贵重物品通常需要 letter of authorization(授权书),写明授权人和被授权人的信息、物品描述和签名。代领人还需要出示自己的证件。
Absolutely. We'll need a signed letter from you with your sister's full name and ID number, a description of the items, and your signature. Your sister will need to show her photo ID when picking up. You can email the letter to our front desk, and we'll verify everything before release.
当然可以。我们需要您签名的授权书,写明您姐姐的全名和证件号、物品描述以及您的签名。您姐姐领取时需要出示带照片的证件。您可以把授权书发邮件到前台,我们会在交付前核实一切。
