Attendant: What about this one? This one’s got a label.
Mr Hall: Let me see it.
Attendant: What’s your name and address?
Mr Hall: David Hall, 83, Bridge Street.
Attendant: That’s right. D.N.Hall. 83.Bridge Street.
Attendant: Three pound and fifty pence please.
Mr Hall: Here you are.
Attendant: Thank you.

1. I left a suitcase on the train to London the other day. 几天前我把一只手提箱忘在开往伦敦的火车上了。
   句中left是leave的过去式。leave在这里表示“遗忘”、“丢下”，通常可与表示地点的短语连用。又如：

   I left my glasses in the library.
   我把眼镜忘在图书馆里了。
   the other day表示“几天前”。the other +表示时间的名词通常只与过去时态连用。类似的短语有：the other morning/afternoon/evening/night（几天前上午/下午/晚上/夜里），the other week/ month/ year（几周／月／年前）。

2. There's a label on the handle with my name and address on it. 箱把上有一标签，上面写着我的姓名和住址。句中介词with在这里可理解为“有”的意思。

3. fifty pence, 50 便士。pence是penny（便士）的复数形式，表示币值。
