today we’re going to go through the airport step by step, learning important vocabulary and useful phrases along the way.
conversation #1 – at the check-in desk 换登机牌
dan is flying from new york to los angeles. when he arrives at the airport, he goes to the check-in desk. listen to the conversation he has with the agent:
agent: good afternoon! where are you flying to today?
dan: los angeles.
agent: may i have your passport, please?
dan: here you go.
agent: are you checking any bags?
dan: just this one.
agent: ok, please place your bag on the scale.
dan: i have a stopover in chicago – do i need to pick up my luggage there?
agent: no, it’ll go straight through to los angeles. here are your boarding passes – your flight leaves from gate 15a and it’ll begin boarding at 3:20. your seat number is 26e.
dan: thanks.
下面就让我们熟悉一下在换登机牌时经常会用到的单词和句型
conversation vocabulary and phrases
· instead of “where are you flying today?” the agent may ask “what’s your final destination?” the answer will be the same!
请问您的目的地是哪里?
· you can say “here you go” anytime you give something to somebody
当你出示你的证件或交给他人东西时使用，表示礼貌!
· to check your bags(托运行李) means to put them on the airplane inside the cargo compartment. the small bag you take with you on the airplane is called a carry-on(手提行李). you need to put your carry-on bags through the x-ray machine at security.
· the scale(称) is the equipment that tells you the weight of your luggage (45 kilograms, for example)
· a stopover or layover(中转) is when the airplane stops in a different city before continuing to the final destination
· if the agent says that your luggage will go straight through(直达) , it means it will go directly to the final destination (and you don’t need to pick it up during your stopover)
在国际旅行中，我们经常会遇到转机的问题，由于每家航空公司的服务和商业伙伴不同，这时我们就应该问清楚我们的托运行李是直达目的地还是需要提出，以避免不必要的麻烦!
· boarding passes(登机牌) are the tickets that permit you to enter the airplane
· when a plane begins boarding(登机), it means that the passengers start to enter the plane. usually boarding time is 30-60 minutes before takeoff (when the plane leaves)
下面是我们在机场经常会问到的问题
例如询问不同航空公司的服务窗口，可以托运几个行李，如果超重，费用多少等等。
other questions & phrases for the airport
· “excuse me, where is the american airlines check-in desk?”
· “how many bags can i check?”
· “will my luggage go straight through, or do i need to pick it up in [chicago]?”
· “how much is the fee?” if your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay extra. an oversized baggage fee(大件行李费) or overweight baggage fee(超重行李费) (this can be $75 to $300).
另外需要注意的是在国外有很多廉价航空，机票不包含行李，所有的行李都需要额外付费!
some airlines in the united states also charge a fee for all checked bags (usually $15 to $30).
· “please mark this bag as ‘fragile(易碎).’” say this if you have fragile or sensitive items in your bag that might break
· “is the flight on time?(飞机准点吗)” the agent will respond either “yes” if the flight is on time, or “there’s a 20-minute delay” (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.
extra questions in the u.s.
on flights going to or inside the u.s., you will probably be asked some extra security questions before or during check-in. here are some sample questions:
answer yes to these questions:
· did you pack your bags yourself?
· has your luggage been in your possession at all times?
· are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on?
answer no to these questions:
· are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?
· have you left your luggage unattended at any time?
· has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?
你的行李离开过你的视线吗?
你亲自打包的行李吗?
你知道随机携带液体的标准吗?
你携带有任何易燃物品吗?
有人让你帮忙携带物品登机吗?
以上是一些安全问题你很有可能被问到，大家需要认真对待，以免造成不必要的误会!
conversation #2 – goinng through security 过安检
there are two pieces of equipment in security: you put your bags through the x-ray machine, and you walk through the metal detector. the x-ray machine has aconveyor belt that moves your bags automatically through the machine. you can put small items like keys or money into plastic bins.
agent: please lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for small objects.
dan: do i need to take my laptop out of the bag?
agent: yes, you do. take off your hat and your shoes, too.
(he walks through the metal detector)
[beep beep beep beep]
agent: please step back. do you have anything in your pockets – keys, cell phone, loose change?
dan: i don’t think so. let me try taking off my belt.
agent: okay, come on through.
(he goes through the metal detector again)
agent: you’re all set! have a nice flight.
the phrase“you’re all set” is a common expression that means “you’re finished and everything is ok.”
phrasal verbs: set off and go off
when the alarm sounds, we say “the alarm went off.” to describe what caused the alarm to sound, we say “set off” – for example, “my keys set off the alarm” or “my keys set off the metal detector.”
announcements at the gate 登机口广播
airports are divided into terminals (the major sections of the airport) and each terminal has many gates. the gate is the door you go through to enter the airplane. here are a few announcements you might hear while you are at the gate, waiting for the plane to board.
· “there has been a gate change.” 登机口变更
(this means the flight will leave from a different gate)
· “united airlines flight 880 to miami is now boarding.” (this means it’s time for passengers to enter the plane)
联合航空880航班现在登机了
· “please have your boarding pass and identification ready for boarding.”
请准备好你的登机牌和证件，准备登机
· “we would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board.”
头等舱的旅客开始登机
· “we are now inviting passengers with small children and any passengers requiring special assistance to begin boarding.”
带有幼小儿童和有需要帮助的旅客开始登机
· “we would now like to invite all passengers to board.” (this means everyone can enter the plane)
所以的旅客开始登机
· “this is the final boarding call for united airlines flight 880 to miami.” (this means it is the final opportunity to enter the plane before they close the doors)
只是联合航空880航班的最后登机广播
· “passenger john smith, please proceed to the united airlines desk at gate 12.”
某某旅客请赶快到12号登机口
conversation #3: on the plane 飞机上
the people who work inside the airplane serving food and drinks are called flight attendants(空乘人员). both men and women who have this job are called flight attendants. listen to this conversation that dan has with the flight attendant when dinner is served on the flight.
flight attendant: chicken or pasta?
dan: sorry?
flight attendant: would you like chicken or pasta?
dan: i’ll have the chicken.
flight attendant: anything to drink?
dan: what kind of soda do you have?
flight attendant: coke, diet coke, sprite, orange, and dr. pepper.
dan: a diet coke, no ice, please.
flight attendant: here you go.
dan: thanks.
conversation tips:
if you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can saysorry?orpardon?to ask him or her to repeat it.
如果没听清，可以说 sorry or pardon ,请对方重复一遍。
if you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “can i have…?” or“could i have…?”
当你需要东西时，你可以礼貌的使用以上两个句型。
· “can i have a pillow(枕头)?”
· “can i have a blanket(毯子)?”
· “can i have a pair of headphones(耳机)?” / “could i have a headset?”
· “could i have some water/coffee/tea?”(水、咖啡、茶)
· “could i have some extra napkins(纸巾)?”
finally, if you need to stand up, but there is a person sitting between you and the aisle, you can say excuse me and make a motion to start standing up. the person sitting next to you will understand and stand up to let you get out of your seat.
如果你是靠窗或中间位置，需要出去，可以简单的说声劳驾，再做一个起身的动作就可以啦，你身边的乘客就会让你出去。
