角色扮演练习：有下周二去悉尼的航班吗？

Reservations (airline) 预定航班

Do you have any flights to Sydney next Tuesday afternoon?

Reservations clerk: Northwind Airways, good morning. May I help you?

Mary Jones: Yes, do you have any flights to Sydney next Tuesday afternoon?

Reservations clerk: One moment, please... Yes. There's a flight at 16:45 and one at 18:00.

Mary Jones: That's fine. Could you tell me how much a return flight costs? I'll be staying three weeks.

Reservations clerk: Economy, business class or first class ticket?

Mary Jones: Economy, please.

Reservations clerk: That would be €346.

Mary Jones: OK. Could I make a reservation?

Reservations clerk: Certainly. Which flight would you like?

Mary Jones: The 16:45, please.

Reservations clerk: Could I have your name, please?

Mary Jones: My name is Mary Jones, that's M-A-R-Y J-O-N-E-S.

Reservations clerk: How would you like to pay, Ms. Jones?

Mary Jones: Can I pay at the check-in desk when I pick up my ticket?

Reservations clerk: Yes, but you will have to confirm this reservation at least two hours before departure time.

Mary Jones: I see.

Reservations clerk: Now you have been booked, Ms. Jones. The flight leaves at 16:45, and your arrival in Sydney will be at 9:25 a.m., local time. The flight number is NWA 476.

Mary Jones: Thank you.

Role-play Exercise 角色扮演练习

这段音频中 Mary Jones 的部分被挖去了，现在就由你来扮演一下这个角色吧~

Notes 注释

1. 有没有注意到音频中是如何说18:00的？Eighteen hundred. 这个说法对于我们恐怕比较陌生，看国外网站上怎么说：Both "eighteen o'clock" and "eighteen hundred" are commonly encountered spoken English for 18:00. 和"eighteen o'clock"一样，"eighteen hundred"也是一种很常见的口语说法哦~

2. a return flight 往返航班

3. economy 经济舱 business class 商务舱 first class 头等舱

4. check-in desk 登记台 check in 办理登机手续或旅馆入住手续
