Hi, I'd like to exchange some Chinese yuan for US dollars.

你好,我想把一些人民币换成美元。

Sure. How much would you like to exchange?

好的。您想换多少?

You

About 5,000 yuan, please.

大概5000元人民币。

Today's rate is 1 dollar to 7.25 yuan. So 5,000 yuan would give you approximately $689. There's also a service fee of $8.

今天的汇率是1美元兑7.25人民币。所以5000元大约能换689美元。还有8美元的服务费。

You

That rate seems a bit low. Is there a better rate somewhere?

这个汇率好像有点低啊。有没有汇率好一点的地方?

💡 机场的汇率通常比市区的银行差。如果不急用,可以到市区再换。但备一点现金在身上以防万一也是好的。

Airport rates do tend to be a bit higher than banks in the city. You might get a slightly better rate downtown, but this is the current rate we can offer.

机场汇率确实比市区银行略高一些。市区可能稍微好一点,但这是我们能给的最新汇率了。

You

Okay, let me just exchange 2,000 yuan for now.

好吧,那我先换2000人民币。

That comes to $267 after the $8 fee. May I see your passport, please? I need it for the transaction.

扣掉8美元手续费后是267美元。请出示您的护照。办理兑换需要用到。

You

Here you go.

给您。

Here's your $267 — two hundreds, three twenties, a five, and two ones. Please count it. And here's your receipt and passport back.

这是您的267美元——两张100的,三张20的,一张5的,两张1的。请数一下。这是收据和护照还给您。

What's your exchange rate for euros today?

今天欧元的兑换汇率是多少?

We're buying euros at 1.05 and selling at 1.12 to the dollar. Which way do you need?

我们欧元买入价是1比1.05美元,卖出价是1比1.12美元。您需要哪种?

You

What's the commission exactly?

手续费具体是多少?

It's a flat fee of $10 per transaction, regardless of the amount.

每笔交易固定收10美元手续费,不论金额多少。

You

Can I get small bills? I'll need change for taxis and tips.

可以换小面额的吗?我打车和给小费需要零钱。

💡 在欧美国家,准备一些小面额纸币(5、10、20)很实用,打车、给小费、买小东西都方便。

Absolutely. I'll give you a mix of twenties, tens, and fives. I'll also include some coins.

当然。我给您一些20、10和5欧元面额的混合搭配。也会给您一些硬币。

Great. Also, can I exchange euros back to dollars on my way home if I have leftovers?

好的。另外,回国时如果有剩余的欧元,可以换回美元吗?

Yes, but the rate will be different — it'll be the buying rate at that time. I'd recommend keeping your receipt, some places waive the fee for reverse exchanges.

可以,但汇率会不同——是当时的买入价。建议保留好收据,有些地方反向兑换可以免手续费。

You

Good tip. Let's go ahead with the $500 exchange.

好建议。那就换500美元的吧。
