Haveyougotanythingtodeclare?是否要申报？ 这句话多半是海关人员在看申报单之前或看申报单空白时会询问的话；目的是提醒旅客填表时有否遗漏之处，免得待会儿受罚。其他说法尚有： Areyoubringinginanythingthatmustbedeclared? Doyouhaveanythingthatmustbeclaimed? Areyoucarryinganyitemsthatneedtobedeclared?2. Inthatcase,justputdown“personaleffects〞 “effects〞在这指“动产;所有物〞，与“realestates〞—“不动产〞意思相反，为专用语，特指“私人用品〞，通常不作为馈赠的礼物，因此也不必课税。 IhavetoleavesoquicklyonthisbusinesstripthatIdidn’thavetimetopackallofmypersonaleffects. 这次出差，我仓促动身，没有时间将所有的私人用品都打包好。3.
