壹苹派生活美语　自动查验通关太便利啦

J: John　　I: Immigration Officer

John is taking a flight at Taoyuan Airport and is about to go through immigration. An immigration officer guides him to use the e-Gate, which John is not familiar with.

J: Excuse me, I’ve never used the e-Gate before. How does it work?

I: It’s a quick and simple process. First, place your passport face down on the reader. The system will read your information and open the first gate.

J: Do I need to remove anything before stepping in?

I: Yes, please take off anything covering your face, such as glasses or a mask. Then, the system will verify your facial image.

J: What should I do if the verification fails?

I: If you registered your fingerprints before, you can use them for verification.

约翰要在桃园机场搭机并即将接受出境检查。一名移民官引导约翰使用他不熟悉的自动查验通关系统。

约　翰： 不好意思，我以前从来没有用过自动查验通关系统。它是如何运作的？

移民官： 这个过程快速又简单。首先，将您的护照照片资料页朝下放在读取机上。系统将读取您的资讯并打开第一道闸门。

约　翰： 进去之前我需要脱掉什么东西吗？

移民官： 需要，请取下遮盖您脸部的任何物品，例如眼镜或口罩。然后，系统将会验证您的脸部影像。

约　翰： 如果验证失败怎么办？

移民官： 如果您之前有登记指纹特征，可以使用它们来做验证。
