每日口语| 说走就走的旅行之前,你最需要的英语!
应微信网友Janet的要求,今天讲讲一场说走就走的旅行,英语需要准备些什么。
1. 和飞机相关的英语
首先,get your passport and visa ready,准备好护照和签证,and then book your air ticket,订机票,机票分one way ticket,单程机票,或者single ticket, return ticket是往返机票; what time would you like to depart?飞机什么时候起飞,卖票人通常会这么问你,I would like to have a one way ticket to New York on Friday, and depart time is 5 pm , please, 我想买张这周五下午五点飞往纽约的单程机票;飞机上,有人喜欢靠窗的座位window seat,有人喜欢靠过道的座位aisle seat, may I have a window seat please? 我能选个靠窗的座位吗?等了半天也没起飞,可以问问空乘,when are we going to take off?我们什么时候起飞啊?take off是起飞的意思,如果害怕晚点,可以问空姐,is my flight on time?我们的飞机准点到吗?在飞机上,空乘通常问你喝点什么,会说what would you like to drink? 常用的饮料是coke, orange or apple juice, water, coffee, beer, milk , tea;飞机上吃的东西,以我的经验,一般两个选择,chicken and rice鸡肉饭, 还有omelet蛋卷,I would like to have chicken and rice , and orange juice, please,我想要一份鸡肉饭,还有橙汁;如果想问飞机几点着陆,可以说,when are we going to land?

3. 打出租车
出了机场直接上出租车,拿着你想去的地址,和司机说,take me to this address , please,请带我去这个地址,接着问,how much is it to there? 去哪儿多少钱?
