It is sometimes difficult to get change without buying something, so it's a good idea to carry change with you at all times. If you need change, you can buy something inexpensive like candy or a newspaper and ask for the coins you need.
没有买东西的时候通常很难换零钱，所以最好的办法是总带着零钱在身边。如果你需要找零，你可以买一些诸如糖果或者报纸之类的便宜的东西，并且要求找你需要的硬币。
