跟我一起去留学之在飞机上
活泼、漂亮的女生罗琳(英文名)要去美国留学了,因为她的男友——热情、聪明的马克(英文名)比她先去一年,在美国等着她呢。罗琳在国内成绩就很好,可就是说英文时张不开嘴;马克呢,正好相反,他思维活跃,性格外向,但在学习上缺少一些计划性。留学征程犹如去西天取经,坎坷多多,困难重重,罗琳和马克会遇到哪些困难呢?最后又怎样解决的呢?
从本期开始,我们就跟随罗琳和马克,开始我们的异国求学之路吧。
首先,我们和罗琳一起,登上前往美国的飞机……
美国联合航空公司的UA888航班就要从北京首都国际机场起飞了。罗琳走进机舱,找到自己的座位,将手提行李放入座位上方的行李柜后,坐了下来。这时,她发现邻座的女孩儿也刚刚坐好,于是主动打招呼,两人攀谈起来。
场景一 与邻座乘客聊天
(Talking to a Fellow Passenger on the Airplane)
Luo Lin: Hello, my name is Luo Lin.
Charlotte: Hi. I'm Charlotte.
Luo Lin: Nice to meet you, Charlotte. Are you from the United States?
Charlotte: Yes, I'm coming home from a vacation in Beijing. What about you?
Luo Lin: I'm moving to the United States to go to college.
Charlotte: That's great. What college will you be going to?
Luo Lin: The University of California at San Diego. I'm going to get an MBA there. What part of the United States are you from?
Charlotte: I'm originally from New York, but I'm living in San Diego now. UCSD is a beautiful school.
Luo Lin: I haven't seen the campus yet, but I've heard it's very nice. How do you like San Diego?
Charlotte: I like it a lot. There are so many outdoor activities available.
Luo Lin: That's nice. What do you like best?
Charlotte: Oh, the San Diego beaches, of course!
提示:
在飞往留学目的地的飞机上,你的留学征程就已经开始了。旅途漫漫,时光难熬。一人独自乘坐飞机时,最好能主动结识邻座旅客,大家聊聊天,互相认识一下,既消磨了时间,又可演练一下口语,说不定还可以结交一个当地朋友呢。
实用表达:初次与陌生人聊天时可以谈及的话题:
工作:What kind of work do you do?
How do you like your work?
What are the interesting things about your work?
学习:Do you (or Did you) go to college?
What college do/did you attend?
What are you studying/did you study?
What is/was your major?
爱好:Do you travel much?
Have you ever traveled to China?
Where else have you traveled?
What are the best parts of California that I should see?
How long have you lived here?
飞机终于起飞,冲上云端。罗琳突然感到有些头晕恶心,于是向正在送饮品的空中小姐寻求帮助。
场景二 请求空中小姐帮助
(Getting Help from the Flight Attendant)
对话一:索取晕机药品(Requesting Medicine for Airsickness)
Attendant: Excuse me, miss. What would you like to drink? We have coffee, water, orange juice, and Chinese tea.
Luo Lin: Nothing right now, thank you. But could you please give me a medication for airsickness? I'm not feeling well.
Attendant: Okay, I'll get something for you right away. Here's some motion sickness medication and a cup of water. Also, this cool towel might help you feel better.
Luo Lin: Thank you very much. You're really helpful.
Attendant: My pleasure. You'd better have a rest and sit still for a while. You'll be feeling better soon.
Luo Lin: Yes, I think so, too. But could you please get an airsickness bag for me? I'm afraid I might be sick.
Attendant: You can find one in the pocket of the seat in front of you.
Luo Lin: Can I? Let me have a look. Oh yes, here it is.
Attendant:If you need any more help, feel free to ask me.
Luo Lin: Fine. Thank you again.
备注: motion sickness medication:晕车(机)药。
罗琳吃了一些晕机药,感觉舒服多了。于是,她戴好耳机,打开座位上的收音机,想听一会儿音乐。但是,她发现耳机有些问题,于是叫住了一位从旁走过的空姐。
对话二:更换问题耳机(Problem with the Head Set)
Luo Lin: Excuse me? Can you help me? I'm having some trouble with my head set.
