公交卡不见了
今天早上我准备去上班，出门的时候才发现我的公交卡不见了。我在桌子上找了找，又去包里翻了翻， 还是没找到。我想：可能昨天坐公交的时候掉了。
因为没有公交卡，所以我先用手机买了地铁票，坐地铁到公司附近。下班以后我去地铁站的服务中心问能不能补办。 我对工作人员说：“不好意思，我的公交卡丢了，怎么补办？”
工作人员问我：“你记得卡号吗？里面还有多少钱？”我说我不记得卡号，但是里面应该还有一点儿钱。 他告诉我：“你可以先办一张新卡，旧卡找到了再来退。”
我觉得这个办法不错，就办了新卡。回家的路上我一直想：下次我一定把卡放在同一个地方，这样就不会再丢了。

My Transit Card Is Missing
This morning when I was about to go to work, I realized my transit card was missing. I searched the table and my bag but still couldn’t find it. I thought I might have dropped it yesterday on the bus.
Because I didn’t have the card, I bought a subway ticket on my phone and took the subway to near my office. After work, I went to the station service center and asked how to get a replacement.
The staff asked if I remembered the card number and how much money was on it. I didn’t remember, but I thought there was still some money left. He suggested getting a new card first and returning later if I found the old one.
On the way home, I kept thinking I should always put my card in the same place.

一直 can mean an action continues or keeps happening.

Cultural Insights
When you lose something in a public service setting, a common polite approach is “不好意思…怎么…？” to ask for the procedure without sounding demanding.[4]
Many service centers will suggest a practical “temporary solution first” approach (get a new card first, handle the old one later), which matches how people often solve daily problems.
