Haveyougotanythingtodeclare?是否要申報(bào)？ 這句話多半是海關(guān)人員在看申報(bào)單之前或看申報(bào)單空白時(shí)會(huì)詢問(wèn)的話；目的是提醒旅客填表時(shí)有否遺漏之處，免得待會(huì)兒受罰。其他說(shuō)法尚有： Areyoubringinginanythingthatmustbedeclared? Doyouhaveanythingthatmustbeclaimed? Areyoucarryinganyitemsthatneedtobedeclared?2. Inthatcase,justputdown“personaleffects〞 “effects〞在這指“動(dòng)產(chǎn);所有物〞，與“realestates〞—“不動(dòng)產(chǎn)〞意思相反，為專用語(yǔ)，特指“私人用品〞，通常不作為饋贈(zèng)的禮物，因此也不必課稅。 IhavetoleavesoquicklyonthisbusinesstripthatIdidn’thavetimetopackallofmypersonaleffects. 這次出差，我倉(cāng)促動(dòng)身，沒(méi)有時(shí)間將所有的私人用品都打包好。3.
