人在江湖走,在美国到处跑哪可能不用到英文,去世界各地趴趴走当然也要会英文才能通(此处排除比手画脚及有中文标示的情形);虽然搭飞机令人雀跃,可是想到不知道怎么用英文开口、只能鸭子听雷般的比手画脚就好囧!
别囧别囧,今天小鲁妹就要教大家从机场报到 Check-in、过安检、机场广播、飞机服务到下机领行李的一条龙情境英语会话,希望大家在有需要时,只要拿出这篇就可以横行无阻啦!
出国必会的海关英文对话!一篇掌握不担心:
这篇整理了美国海关对话句式,让你掌握海关官员们会问的问题和模板回答,以及要记得避免的地雷误区。我敢保证,搞懂以下海关基本对话就不用怕,让你入境美国有个 Happy Start!
在找机场柜台报到之前,可能会问的问题:
Which terminal is (航空公司名) in? (XX在哪一栋航厦)
Where is the (航空公司名) check-in desk? (XX报到柜台在哪里)
找到报到柜台之后排队等候。轮到你的时候,直接拿护照 (passport) 出来给地勤人员,若有印出来的电子机票 (e-ticket) 也可以一起给,但不一定需要。地勤人员的问题通常包含:
Agent: Where are you flying/traveling to today? / What's your final destination?
You: (目的地地名)
👉 若有转机情形,可以回答 I'm flying to (最终目的地) and I have a layover/stopover in (转机地). (layover 通指转机情形;而如果是国际线的话,转机等待时间超过24小时则称为 stopover)
Agent: Are you checking any bags? How many bas are you checking in? (有托运行李吗/要托运几件)
You: Just one. / Two. (或者看你有几个就回答几个)
Agent: Is there any prohibited and restricted item in there? (行李里有任何违禁品吗?) --> 通常会给你看一张表,上面画了各种违禁品
You: No, there isn't. (没有)
Agent: Okay, please put them on the scale. (请拿上来秤重)
👉 Luggage 通常指托运的大行李;Carry-on 登机/随身行李
Agent: Do you have a seating preference? (你有座位偏好吗)
You: Aisle seat / Window seat, please. (靠走道/靠窗)
👉 若已事先划位的话就不用特别选,若想确认可以主动问: I would like to reconfirm my seat, please.
Agent: Here is(are) your boarding pass(es) -- your flight leaves from gate XX and it’ll begin boarding at XX:XX. Your seat number is 29A window seat. (这是你的登机证 -- 你的登机门为XX,登机时间XX:XX,座位 29A 靠窗)
若飞机延误/取消
Agent: I'm sorry to inform you that your flight has been cancelled/delayed. (很抱歉通知您,您的班机已被取消/延误)
You: When is the next flight available? (下一班还有空位的班机几点?)
Agent: The next flight available is leaving tonight at XX:XX (下一班还有空位的班机是今晚XX:XX)
You: I see. Please book the flight for me and I need the proof of trip delay/trip cancellation. (了解。请帮我订班机,我还需要飞机延误/取消的证明)
若飞机超卖 (Overbook/Oversell)
Agent: I'm sorry, your flight has been overbooked. (很抱歉,您的班机已超卖) Are you willing to give up your seat? (您愿意放弃您的座位吗?)
You: Uh...Okay, I think that's fine with me, as long as I can get a nice compensation. (呃,好吧,我是OK啦,只要我能拿到不错的赔偿)
Agent: We will offer you a $XXX voucher and a free stay at XXX hotel. (我们会给你 $XXX 的消费券和免费住宿 XXX 酒店一晚)
You: Yay! (耶)
或是
You: No, I do not want to give up my seat! It's not my problem when you should be responsible for overselling the flight seats. (我不要放弃我的座位!你们超卖座位你们该负责,又不是我的问题)
Agent: Sure, no problem. I believe I can re-accommodate you to a seat in our new passenger class - the fight club. (好的没问题,我想我可以帮您安排座位到我们的全新舱等 - 斗阵舱哦)

完成之后,时间允许的话你可以在外面继续晃悠,或者就直接过安检然后逛逛免税店 (duty-free)。过安检之前会被 TSA 先查看护照 (Passport) 和登机证 (Boarding Pass)。
各机场的安检的规格不同,通常从美国机场出境飞国际线的话,会比较严格。通常会要求:
脱大衣 take off the jacket/coat
清空口袋 empty pockets
脱掉鞋子和帽子 remove shoes and hats
👉 身上也不要有金属制品,像是硬币、发夹、皮带、手表等等 remove anything that will set off (触发警报) the metal detector(金属探测器), like coins(硬币), cell phone(手机), wallet(皮夹), belt(皮带), watch(手表)...etc
大件的随身行李、个人包可直接放在输送带上,较小件的个人物品必须放在 TSA 提供的篮子 (bin) 里。另外大型的电子用品,像是笔电、平板电脑、相机等若放在随身行李里面,必须特别拿出来并放到篮子里。
Agent: Lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for your smaller items (把包包平放在输送带上,把小件物品拿到篮子里)
You: Do I need to take my laptop out of the bag? (我需要把笔电从包包拿出来吗)
Agent: Yes, laptops, cameras, tablets.....(笔电、相机、平板电脑都要)
👉 通常安检人员都是对所有人吼着说这些,不会特别对你耐心回答,不要觉得受伤😂
过金属探测门时警报器响起
Agent: Please step back. Do you have anything in your pockets – keys, cell phone, loose change? (请后退。你口袋里有任何东西吗?钥匙、手机、零钱⋯⋯)
You: Let me see...(我看看) --> 找找看身上有没有什么金属物品,很常被遗忘的是皮带、手表和首饰类
Agent: Okay, come on through. (再走一次)
👉 没有通过的话,可能会被安检人员亲自接触检查 (physical inspection)。
Agent: Please lift your arms. (请把手举起来) You’re all set. (没事了,你可以走了)
随身行李里面有可疑物品
Agent: What is in there? (这里面是什么)
You: Oh it is just water. I forgot to take it out. (只是水,我忘记拿出来了)
Agent: Liquids more than 100ml are not allowed. You need to throw it away. (超过100ml的液体不能带上飞机,你得把它扔掉)
👉 大家容易忘记的都是超过100ml的液体,尤其是饮用水。
登机广播
PA: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the pre-boarding announcement for flight (班机号) to (目的地). (女士们、先生们,搭乘XX航空编号XX前往XX的旅客,即将准备登机)
PA: (班机号) to (目的地) is now boarding at Gate (登机门号). Please have your boarding pass and passport ready for boarding. (搭乘XX航空编号XX前往XX的旅客开始在X号登机门登机。请准备好您的登机证与护照)
有顺序的登机
PA: We are now inviting passengers with small children and any passengers requiring special assistance to come forward and begin boarding first. (我们现在请有小孩的旅客和需要特殊协助的旅客登机)
PA: We would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board. (我们首先请头等舱与商务舱的旅客登机)
PA: We are now boarding seats (座位排). (我们现在邀请__排到__排的旅客登机)
PA: We would now like to invite all passengers to board. (我们现在请所有旅客登机)
针对还没登机的旅客所进行的最后广播
PA: This is the final boarding call for (航空公司名&班机号) to (目的地). Would all remaining passengers for this flight please report to gate (登机门号). (这是XX航空公司XX号班机最后一次登机广播,请所有尚未登机的旅客前往X号门登机)
PA: Attention -- This is the final boarding call for passenger (乘客名) booked on flight (班机号) to (目的地). Please proceed to gate (登机门号) immediately. (注意 -- 这是最后一次登机广播,搭乘XX航空公司编号XX班机前往XX的旅客XXX,请尽速前往X号登机门登机)
👉 Final boarding call 代表最后一次登机机会,飞机就要起飞不等你了。我一直以为广播名字不会发生在自己身上,直到有一次发现登机广播真的是在叫我前往登机口处柜台,因为出现了重复 check-in 的情况⋯⋯
登机门有异动
PA: Attention -- there has been a gate change. Passengers taking (班机号) to (目的地) will now be boarding at Gate (登机门号). (各位旅客请注意,登机门有异动。搭乘XX航空公司XX号班机的旅客请改前往X号登机门登机)
