L: You can fill in this lost property report, and I'll keep my eye out for it. Those kinds of things usually turn up eventually, but I suggest you contact your embassy and tell them about your situation, so they can issue you a new passport in case it doesn't show up.

管理员：你来填这张遗失报告表，我会替你留意的。像这样的东西，最后总是会出现的。但我建议你跟你们的大使馆联系并把你的情形告诉他们。万一你的护照找不到的话，他们会给你补发新护照的。

Guǎnlǐyuán: zhè shì.
