SANDY: Can I help you?
DEREK: Yes, I need to apply for a parking permit.
SANDY: Are you a professor?
DEREK: What? Are you kidding? I’m only 22 years old!
SANDY: Yes, I am kidding.
But don’t you know only professors and students with disabilities
can apply for parking permits?
DEREK: Yes, I know. I have a disability.
My hip was broken last year. And I can’t walk well.
SANDY: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.
DEREK: It’s alright. You didn’t see me walk to the desk.
SANDY: Here is the application form.
I also need to see your student ID and your permission letter from the university.
DEREK: My permission letter?
SANDY: Yes, the letter that certifies you have a disability.
And it must certify your disability entitles you to a parking place.
DEREK: I was told I should have the letter sent directly to your office.
SANDY: Yes. Or you can bring it yourself.
DEREK: But I asked them to send it to you directly.
SANDY: Let me look in the file then. Maybe we received it.
DEREK: My name is Derek Schneider, S - C - H - N - E - I - D - E - R.
SANDY: Yes, here it is.
Alright. Then I just need your completed application form,
and I will be able to process your request.
DEREK: Good. I will sit over there and fill out the form.
I will give it to you in a few minutes.
Oh, by the way, can I apply for any parking lot I want?
SANDY: The form has a map on the back. You may specify your top four choices.
We will give a spot in the lot that has an opening.
DEREK: I see. Thank you.
SANDY: You’re very welcome.
珊蒂：我能帮你吗?
迪瑞克：是的，我需要申请一张停车许可证。
珊蒂：你是教授吗?
迪瑞克：什么?你在开玩笑吗?我才二十二岁。
珊蒂：对，我是在开玩笑。
但是难道你不知道只有教授和有残疾的学生
才可以申请停车许可证吗?
迪瑞克：是，我知道。我有残疾。
我的骨盆去年裂开。我走得并不好。
珊蒂：喔，我很抱歉。我不知道。
迪瑞克：没事的。你没有看到我走到桌子前。
珊蒂：这里是申请表。
我同时需要看你的学生证明以及学校的许可信。
迪瑞克：我的许可信?
珊蒂：是的，许可信是证明你有残疾。
而且必须证明你的残疾让你有需要使用一个停车位。
迪瑞克：我被告知我的许可信是直接寄到你们的办公室。
珊蒂：是的，你也可以自己带来。
迪瑞克：但是我请他们直接寄到你们这里。
珊蒂：让我查看一下档案，或许我们已经收到了。
迪瑞克：我的名字是迪瑞克·施奈德尔：S - C - H - N - E - I - D - E - R。
珊蒂：是的，在这儿。
好，我只需要你填好的申请表，
我就可以处理你的申请。
迪瑞克：很好。我会坐下来填好表格。
我会在几分钟内给你。
喔，顺便问问，我可以申请任何我想要的停车位吗?
珊蒂：表格的後面有一张地图。你可以指明四个最喜欢的选择。
我们会把空缺的位子给你。
迪瑞克：我知道了。谢谢你。
珊蒂：不要客气。
