The Package Pick-Up (1)

取包裹（1）

The phone rang at 8:15 a.m. It was a recording¹. "A UPS driver will pick up your package today. He will arrive between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m." That's nice, Craig thought. All I have to do is wait for 11 hours. I can't even take a shower. I can't hear the doorbell while I'm in the shower. Craig heard the doorbell at 4:40 p.m. "I'm so glad you're here," he told the driver. "This box has been sitting in my bedroom for two weeks." He handed the box to the driver. The driver said, "Where's the call tag²? I can't take this without the call tag." Craig said, "What? What's a call tag?" The driver said, "A call tag is a return label³. It tells us where to ship the box. Maybe it's inside the box." Craig rolled his eyes. Why was returning a package so difficult?

早上8:15分，电话响了。是电话答录机。UPS快递司机今天会来家里取包裹。他会在8点到晚上7点之间来。克雷格认为非常好。我要做的就是要等待11个小时。我甚至不能洗澡。洗澡时听不到门铃声。下午4:40，克雷格听到了门铃声。他对司机说，很高兴你能来。箱子在我卧室放了两周了。他把箱子递给了司机。司机说：“运费付迄标签在哪？”没有运费付迄标签无法运送。”克雷格问道：“什么是运费付迄标签？”司机说：“它是一个退换商品标签。它能够告诉我们商品往哪运。或许它在箱子里。克雷格不以为然。退还包裹为什么这么困难？
