在英語里，關于旅行有三個常見的單詞：
? travel
? trip
? journey

travel

泛指一般意義的旅行，主要用作動詞，當然也有例外，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

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

trip

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

了解了這些單詞，下面我們就進入正題吧。去國外出差，如何使用英語順利地辦理登機手續(xù)是一項最基本的技能。Joseph正在機場辦理登機手續(xù)，讀對話，看看你能學到哪些有用的詞語和句型吧。

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.

在辦理登機手續(xù)時，機場工作人員通常會問到以下問題：

? 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場會經(jīng)?？吹胶陀玫降膯卧~和短語。

幾個小時后，飛機順利到達洛杉磯，來接機的是Dan。不管你是來訪者、還是接機人員，都要做好準備、和對方進行一番small talk。這是讓彼此熟絡起來的最好方式，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的第一個問題就是Did you have a good flight? 這也是在接機時必問的一個問題。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。比如遇到飛機延誤的情況，可以簡單地說：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)?

大家可以假設自己在機場受到接待，接機人問到以上的問題，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辦理登記手續(xù)、以及如何與接機人或來訪者進行適當?shù)暮?、建立友好的關系。希望大家能夠勤學勤練，在下次出差時把這些短語和句型運用到實際的對話中，那么教研君的目的也就達到啦。

如果大家對于出差商旅等方面的英語表達還存在疑問，或者希望在大量、真實的場景中鍛煉提升自己的口語能力，那么有針對性地選取一些經(jīng)典教材進行學習無疑是最好的選擇，如【滬江?牛津】商務英語步入商界全程班。希望大家都能夠學有所成，成為職場精英！我們下期再見~
