在英語(yǔ)里，關(guān)于旅行有三個(gè)常見的單詞：
? travel
? trip
? journey

travel

泛指一般意義的旅行，主要用作動(dòng)詞，當(dāng)然也有例外，如business travel、travel arrangements、travel agents等。需要注意的是：
不要說Did you have a good travel?
正確的說法是Did you have a good journey / trip / flight?

journey

通常指單程較遠(yuǎn)距離的旅行。如：
I wish you a pleasant journey. 祝你一路順風(fēng)。

trip

是指有特定目的的、短暫的旅行，且往往會(huì)回到出發(fā)點(diǎn)，如business trip。但有時(shí)，trip也可以與journey換用，指遠(yuǎn)距離的長(zhǎng)途旅行。如：He’ll make a round-the-world trip. 他要去周游世界。

了解了這些單詞，下面我們就進(jìn)入正題吧。去國(guó)外出差，如何使用英語(yǔ)順利地辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)是一項(xiàng)最基本的技能。Joseph正在機(jī)場(chǎng)辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)，讀對(duì)話，看看你能學(xué)到哪些有用的詞語(yǔ)和句型吧。

Dialogue 1

A: Hello. Where are you flying today?
B: Hi, I’m flying to Los Angles.
A: Can I see your ticket and your passport, please?
B: Sure. Here's my passport. And here's my e-ticket.
A: Thank you. Would you like a window seat?
B: No, I'd like an aisle seat please.
A: OK, and is the luggage yours?
B: These two bags are mine.
A: All right. One of your bags is overweight... I'm going to have to charge you for the excess weight.
B: I see. How much extra do I have to pay? And can I pay by credit card?
A: $30 dollars more, sir, and yes, we do accept credit cards.

在辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)時(shí)，機(jī)場(chǎng)工作人員通常會(huì)問到以下問題：

? Where are you flying today?
? Can I see your ticket and your passport, please?
? Would you like a window seat (or an aisle seat)?
? Is the luggage yours?
? Do you have any check-in baggage / hand-baggage?

你可以回答：

? I’m flying to…
? Sure. Here's my passport. And here's my e-ticket.
? I think I will go for the / I’d like an aisle seat this time.
? These two bags are mine.
? Yes, I have one suitcase, and I am carrying my backpack into the cabin.

此外，教研君還整理了一些在機(jī)場(chǎng)會(huì)經(jīng)常看到和用到的單詞和短語(yǔ)。

幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，飛機(jī)順利到達(dá)洛杉磯，來接機(jī)的是Dan。不管你是來訪者、還是接機(jī)人員，都要做好準(zhǔn)備、和對(duì)方進(jìn)行一番small talk。這是讓彼此熟絡(luò)起來的最好方式，也避免了在去酒店過程中陷入無話可說的尷尬境地。下面我們就來看看Joseph和Dan都聊了些什么吧。

Dialogue 2

A: Excuse me. Are you Joseph Chen?
B: Yes, I am. And you must be Dan Ford.
A: That’s right. Pleased to meet you, Joseph.
B: Nice to meet you, Dan.
A: So, did you have a good flight, Joseph?
B: Hmm, it was delayed for half an hour, but apart from that, everything was fine.
A: Well, I suppose half an hour isn’t so bad. Do you often travel abroad on business?
B: Probably about once a month.
A: Really? Do you enjoy travelling for business?
B: Yes, although I prefer staying in the office.
A: What do you like most about travelling?
B: I like visiting new cities and trying out new food.
A: Well, here are the taxis. Let’s get in the queue.

在彼此打過招呼后，Dan的第一個(gè)問題就是Did you have a good flight? 這也是在接機(jī)時(shí)必問的一個(gè)問題。我們還可以這樣說：How’s your flight? 一般情況下，來訪者可以講一些旅途中發(fā)生的故事；但要注意，如果雙方是第一次見面，不要太多抱怨旅途中發(fā)生的種種不愉快的事情。比如遇到飛機(jī)延誤的情況，可以簡(jiǎn)單地說：It was delayed for (half an hour), but apart from that, everything was fine. 在寒暄的過程中，還有一些常見的問題，如：

? Do you often travel abroad on business?
? Do you enjoy travelling for business?
? What do you like most about travelling?
? Have you ever been here before?
? What did you think of it (the place)?

大家可以假設(shè)自己在機(jī)場(chǎng)受到接待，接機(jī)人問到以上的問題，你想好要怎么回答了嗎？知道答案的小伙伴們快來和教研君分享哦！

好啦，今天教研君和大家講的是如何用英語(yǔ)辦理登記手續(xù)、以及如何與接機(jī)人或來訪者進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)暮?、建立友好的關(guān)系。希望大家能夠勤學(xué)勤練，在下次出差時(shí)把這些短語(yǔ)和句型運(yùn)用到實(shí)際的對(duì)話中，那么教研君的目的也就達(dá)到啦。

如果大家對(duì)于出差商旅等方面的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)還存在疑問，或者希望在大量、真實(shí)的場(chǎng)景中鍛煉提升自己的口語(yǔ)能力，那么有針對(duì)性地選取一些經(jīng)典教材進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)無疑是最好的選擇，如【滬江?牛津】商務(wù)英語(yǔ)步入商界全程班。希望大家都能夠?qū)W有所成，成為職場(chǎng)精英！我們下期再見~
