　　下面是學習啦小編整理的旅游英語口語：換錢， 希望對大家有幫助。

　　DEREK: You won’t believe what just happened.

　　KELLY: What?

　　DEREK: I went down to change some money, right?

　　KELLY: Yes. We need some. How much did you change?

　　DEREK: I wanted to change around 5000 dollars. And you know the exchange rate.

　　KELLY: Yes, it’s about 35 pesos for every Taiwan dollar, right?

　　DEREK: Not today.

　　KELLY: What do you mean?

　　DEREK: I went into the bank with my money, and I looked at the exchange board.At first I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was reading the board wrong or something.

　　KELLY: Why?

　　DEREK: Because the board said 60 pesos for every Taiwan dollar.

　　KELLY: Sixty? That’s too much. How can that be?

　　DEREK: I thought it was wrong too. It didn’t make sense.

　　KELLY: Just two days ago it was 35. How can it be 60?

　　DEREK: So, I went up to the teller and started to exchange the money. And it’s true.They really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar.

　　KELLY: That’s amazing! Really? How could it change so much in two days?

　　DEREK: I tried to ask the bank teller why it changed,but she didn’t speak English well enough.So I decided to go to the magazine shop. The one around the corner.And I bought an American newspaper.

　　KELLY: What happened?

　　DEREK: It seems that yesterday the Mexican government declaredit wouldn’t pay back the loans it got from the World Bank.The government declared a default on the loans.

　　KELLY: That’s serious.

　　DEREK: I know. The economy here is having serious problems.But because the government declared a default, the currency value went way down.

　　KELLY: So now Mexican pesos are worth about half as much.

　　DEREK: Yes, it’s an amazing drop.

　　KELLY: Wow. I feel sorry for the Mexicans. But it’s good for us.

　　DEREK: Yes, it’s very good. We suddenly have twice as much money to spend here.Our hotel is now half as expensive as when we got here! Isn’t that strange?

　　KELLY: Yes, and you know what?

　　DEREK: What?

　　KELLY: I don’t really like this hotel that much.So tonight, now that we are so rich,tonight why don’t we stay in the most expensive hotel in town?

　　DEREK: Why not? We should do it. Because now we can afford it.

　　參考譯文：

　　戴瑞克：你不會相信剛剛發生的事。

　　凱莉：什么事?

　　戴瑞克：我去樓下換錢，對不對?

　　凱莉：對啊，我們需要一些，你換了多少?

　　戴瑞克：我想要換五千元左右，而且你很清楚匯率。

　　凱莉：是啊，大概是三十五披索等于一塊臺幣，對不對?

　　戴瑞克：今天不是。

　　凱莉：什么意思?

　　戴瑞克：我帶了錢去銀行，然后看著匯率表。一開始，我真不敢相信，我想我讀錯了或什么的。

　　凱莉：為什么?

　　戴瑞克：因為匯率表上說六十披索等于一塊臺幣。

　　凱莉：六十?太多了吧，怎么會這樣呢?

　　戴瑞克：我也以為錯了，這樣不太合理。

　　凱莉：就在兩天前是三十五，怎么變成六十了呢?

　　戴瑞克：于是我走向出納員要求兌換錢，原來是真的。他們真的讓我用一塊臺幣換六十披索。

　　凱莉：太神奇了!真的嗎?兩天內怎么會改變這么多呢?

　　戴瑞克：我試著問銀行出納員為何匯率改了，但是她的英文說得不太好。所以我決定去雜志店，街角那家，買了一份美國報紙。

　　凱莉：發生什么事了?

　　戴瑞克：好象昨天墨西哥政府宣告不償還向世界銀行借的貸款，他們宣稱不履行債務。

　　凱莉：那很嚴重喔!

　　戴瑞克：我知道，這兒的經濟有很嚴重的問題，但是因為政府宣稱不履行債務，幣值頓時跌落。

　　凱莉：所在現在墨西哥披索只值原來的一半。

　　戴瑞克：是啊，真驚人的下跌。

　　凱莉：哇，我真是替墨西哥人感到遺憾，但是這種情況對我們是有利的。

　　戴瑞克：是啊，蠻好的，我們突然有二倍的錢來花。旅館費現在只有剛到時的一半貴，那不是很怪嗎?

　　凱莉：嗯，你知道嗎?

　　戴瑞克：什么?

　　凱莉：我不太喜歡這間旅館，所以今晚，既然我們有錢了，為什么不去住鎮上最貴的旅館?

　　戴瑞克：有何不可呢?我們應該的，因為現在我們可以付得起了。
