331　In case we lose one 万一我们丢了一张

I went to a government office to take care of some business. The clerk there gave me two index cards with identical questions on them. I filled both out, but when I handed them in, I asked the clerk why she needed two cards with the same information. Stapling the cards together, she said, “That's in case we lose one.”

我到一个政府部门去办事。那里的职员给我两张检索卡片，上面问的是一样的问题。我把两张都填了。当我递进去的时候，我问那个职员为什么他们需要两张一模一样的卡片。她一边用钉书器把两张卡片钉在一起，一边说：“万一我们丢了一张的话。”
