Then I'll get it signed for you. 　　B: When will I be able to pick up the money? 　　A: If you come back after lunch I should be able to give it to you. 　　B: Great. I'll see you then. Bye.

[图片0] 　　单词过关 　　reimburse 报销 　　expense 费用;开支 　　policy 政策
　　语言贴士 　　(1) do some sight-seeing游览;观光，还可以说成go sight-seeing. 　　(2) expense和cost都有消费;费用的意思，但expense还有预算、开支、结算的专门用途，而cost还可用于吃亏、损失的特除用途。expense多用于正式场合，而cost多用于口语。
