导读:出国旅行,我们偶尔会因为英语不流利遭遇尴尬情况,为了能让自己玩得更放心一些,今天,AAE(美国英文学院,American Academy of English,简称AAE)为您分享一些在机场常用的英语口语:
场景一:更改航班
【场景对话】
Receptionist: Good morning, sir. What can I do for you?
Mr. Johnson: Good morning. I booked a flight to San Francisco tomorrow, but unfortunately, I have to change my plan. I would like to cancel my flight① and get my ticket refunded②.
Receptionist: May I have your booking information, please.
Mr. Johnson: Of course.
Receptionist: To complete your request, I need to charge 25 dollars for late cancellation③.
Mr. Johnson: Why should I pay for so much?
Receptionist: It is 10% of your purchasing price.
Mr. Johnson: All right. Please do it and refund the rest for me.
Receptionist: Here is the receipt④. Your refund will be transferred to⑤ the account that you used for the ticket purchase. Please sign your name here.
Mr. Johnson: Thank you. Bye.
【翻译】
接待员:上午好,先生。我能为你做什么?
约翰逊先生:上午好,我订了一张明天去旧金山的机票,由于我改变计划,所以我要退票。
接待员:让我看看您的订票信息。
约翰逊先生:好的。
接待员:因为取消时间很紧,您必须支付25美元的手续费。
约翰逊先生:怎么这么多啊?
接待员:(手续费)需要收取购票价格的10%。
约翰逊先生:好吧,给我退票吧。
接待员:这是您的收据,你的退款将会打入你购票时用的账户,请在这里签个字。
约翰逊先生:谢谢,再见。
【知识点】
① cancel my flight 取消我的航班
② get my ticket refunded 把我的票退了
Refund是退款的意思
③ late cancellation 太迟取消
Cancellation是cancel的名词形式,意为“取消”。
一般来说,要提前24小时告知退票的,对话中的约翰逊先生是明早的航班,但今早才来办理退票,是相当“迟了”。
④ Here is the receipt 这是收据
receipt 是“收据、发票”的意思
⑤ transferred to转移到
场景二:过安全门

Airport screener: Please go through this metal detector.

Airport screener: Please check your pockets again.
Miss Longman: Oh, I got it. It is my keys. Sorry.
