Hello, I lost my cell phone. What should I do?
B 先把卡号挂失吧。如果还想用这个号,就补办一张。手机密码是多少?

First report the lost number. If you still want to use this number, then you can reapply for it. What is your cell phone password?
A 不记得了。

I can't remember.
B 卡是用本人身份证办理的吗?
kǎ shì yòng běnrén shēnfènzhèng bànlǐ de ma?
Did you use your own ID card to apply for the SIM card?
A 不是。我是在小店买的,不用身份证。
bù shì. wǒ shì zài xiǎodiàn mǎi de, bùyòng shēnfènzhèng.
No. I bought it in a small shop. I didn't need an ID card.
B 那你有密码卡吗?
nà nǐ yǒu mìmǎ kǎ ma?
Then, do you have the password card?
A 密码卡?没有。
mìmǎ kǎ? méiyǒu.
Password card? No.
B 那我们没办法帮你挂失。
nà wǒmen méi bànfǎ bāng nǐ guàshī.
Then there is no way we can help you.
A 啊?那小偷可以用我的卡?
ǎ? nà xiǎotōu kěyǐ yòng wǒ de kǎ?
Huh? Then the thief can use my SIM card?
B 对。您的心情我理解,但没有密码,我也没办法。
duì. nín de xīnqíng wǒ lǐjiě, dàn méiyǒu mìmǎ, wǒ yě méi bànfǎ.
Yes. I understand how you feel, but if you don't have the password, there's nothing I can do.
A 那我充的钱、卡里的信息都没了?
nà wǒ chōng de qián, kǎ li de xìnxī dōu méi le ?
So the money I put on the card, all the information on the card--it's all gone?
B 这样吧,你填一下这张表,填对了也可以拿回密码。
zhèyàng ba, nǐ tián yīxià zhè zhāng biǎo, tián duì le yě kěyǐ náhuí mìmǎ.
How about this--fill out this form. If you fill it out correctly, you can get back your password.
A 啊,这么多东西,我怎么想得起来?
ǎ, zhème duō dōngxi, wǒ zěnme xiǎng de qǐlai?
Huh? All of these things--how can I remember them all?
B 所以说,买了卡,最好来营业厅做个实名登记。
suǒyǐ shuō, mǎi le kǎ, zuìhǎo lái yíngyètīng zuò ge shímíng dēngjì.
That's why I said, when you buy a card, it's best to come to the company offices and formally register your name.
A 唉!
āi!
Ah.
