在外国出差旅行，不想带那么多现金累赘，您可以选择旅行支票或是双币信用卡。使用旅行支票就涉及到一个支票兑换的问题。下面我们就来看看来中国旅游的T女士是怎么兑换她的旅行支票的吧。

T: Hello! May I help you?
您好，您有事需要帮忙吗？

C: Yes, I hope so. I need some more cash for my visit in China. May I cash a traveler's check here?
哦，是这样。我需要些现金，在中国游览时使用。我能在这儿兑现旅行支票吗？

T: Of course. We'd be happy cash it for you.
当然，我们很乐意为您兑现。

C: I was going to cash it at the hotel, but one of my friends said that banks always give better exchange rates.
我原本打算在旅馆兑现，但我朋友说银行的兑现率通常会高一点。

T: Well, any bank will cash it at our present traveler's check-buying rate, which are somewhat¹ better than at hotels because of the service charge. You see, hotels aren't really in the money exchange business although they will cash traveler's checks for their guests.
任何银行都是按现时买入旅行支票的兑换率来兑现的。因为手续费的差异，我们的兑换率比旅馆的稍高些。您知道，旅馆虽然为客人兑换旅行支票， 但他们并不是专门从事兑换业务的。

C: You mean there's really not much of a difference?
您是说，实际上银行与旅馆的兑换率差距并不大。

T: No, madam, not very much.
是的，夫人，没多大差距。

C: Well, may I cash these three checks for $100 each? I think that will be enough.
那么，麻烦帮我兑换三张100美圆的支票吧，我想该够用了。

T: Yes, I'll be happy to cash these for you. Would you please countersign² them here?
好的，我很乐意为你兑换。请您将支票复签一下。

C: There you are.
签好了。

T: And will you please sign this foreign exchange request? I've already written down your name and address for you, but I will need your passport number.
请签一下这张外币兑换申请表。我已经写好了您的名字地址，还需要您的护照号码。
