先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    Good afternoon, council tax team. How can I help with your account today?

    下午好，这里是市政税团队。今天关于你的账户有什么可以帮忙？

    中文提示

    I've received a council tax letter, but I've only just moved in, and I'm not sure whether the bill is based on two adults.

    我收到一封市政税的信，但我刚搬进来，不确定账单是不是按两个人算的。

    I can look into that. Could you give me the account number at the top right of the letter?

    我可以帮你查一下。你能告诉我信右上角的账号吗？

    中文提示

    Yes, it's 71450. I moved in on the first of this month, and the landlord may not have updated the details yet.

    可以，是 71450。我是这个月一号搬进去的，房东之前可能还没更新信息。

  3. 对话 3

    The account still shows two residents, so the single person discount has not been applied yet.

    账户上仍显示有两名住户，所以单人折扣还没有应用。

    中文提示

    I see. I'm the only person living there now, so can I apply for that discount?

    明白了。现在只有我一个人住，那我可以申请这个折扣吗？
