《我的第一张借书卡》，作者：奈杰尔·佩珀豪斯 思考小问题 什么是借书卡？我们要怎么使用它呢？

At the library, I've always checked out books with mom's card. Today, I'm getting my own card, though. Any kid can get one.

以前去图书馆，我一直用妈妈的借书卡借书 不过今天，我就要有属于自己的借书卡啦 每个小朋友都可以办理哦

We walk up to the librarian at the counter. I tell her my name, address, and phone number. I tell her my birth date too.

我们走到柜台前的图书管理员身边 我告诉她我的名字、住址还有电话号码 我还告诉了她我的出生日期

I promise to return everything I borrow. If I lose something, we have to pay for it. I promise to try to return things on time, too.

我保证会归还我借的所有东西 如果我把东西弄丢了，我们就得照价赔偿 我还保证会尽量按时归还所有物品

Then the librarian hands me a card.

然后图书管理员递给我一张借书卡

I sign my name on the line. Now the card is really mine.

我在横线上签上了自己的名字 现在这张卡真的属于我啦
