年底到了,不少人都計畫出國旅遊,但你了解一般機場的規定了嗎?如果還沒度房一起閱讀本篇,復則因搞不懂規定讓美好的旅行被破壞,不單單浪費了金錢與時間,還超級鬧心的啊!讓我們一起來看看在機場裡會發生什麼令人生氣的事情,可能會用到什麼樣的機場英文吧!
狀況一:搭經濟艙,就沒人權嗎?
大家有沒有因為興奮跟好朋友聊天聊著聊著就走到商務艙櫃台辦理報到的經驗呢?
這個時候就會被後排的商務艙會員表示
:喂!你擋到我的路了。
:Go away. Get out of my way!
被櫃台地勤人員請示
:哈囉!先生/小姐,你排錯隊伍了。請去後面最長的那條隊伍重新排隊。
:Hello, sir/ madam, you’re in the wrong line. Please go back to the longest line and wait in line again.
為了避免不發生這樣的狀況,讓我們來學習各艙等的英文
- 頭等艙(First Class)
- 商務艙(Business Class)
- 豪華經濟艙(Premium Economy Class)
- 經濟艙(Economy Class)
狀況二:沒位子幹麻還賣給我?
航空公司為了保障有些臨時取消的旅客造成的空位,會做超賣的動作,如果你剛好那麼幸運買到超賣的空位,那在報到劃位的時候,航空公司會安排你轉搭其他航空,或開放貴賓室給你進去休息。
In order to protect the vacancies caused by some temporarily canceled passengers, the airlines will do the oversold action. If you’re the lucky one who get the oversold seat. When you check in, the airline will transfer you to another airline or give you permission to rest in the lounge.
【YES~~單字教學】
Overbooking/oversold 超賣
例句: There’s no seat on the plane because the airline oversold it.
(飛機上沒有座位了,因為航空公司超賣了。)
例句: My room was upgraded tonight because this hotel was overbooked.
(今晚我的房間被升等,因為這間飯店超賣。)
Vacancy 空位
例句: My parents wanted to book a hotel room in September but there were no vacancies.
(我的父母九月想預訂一間客房,但已經沒有空位了。)
例句: There is a vacancy for a shop assistant.
(商店的店員有職缺。)
Transfer 轉移、轉乘
例句: As the healthy condition worsen, he has been transferred to another hospital.
(由於病情加重,他被轉移到其他醫院。)
例句: He is going to be transferred to the main office in the U.S next month.
(他下個月將調去美國總辦公室。)
Lounge 貴賓室、休息室
例句: If you purchase business class tickets, you can go resting in the lounge.
(購買商務艙機票可進入機場貴賓室休息。)
例句: Please keep quiet in the lounge, because some people are trying to rest.
(在貴賓室請保持安靜,因為有些人在休息。)
狀況三:行李超重一點點,也要跟我加收錢?
每一家航空公司都有不同的行李、手提限制規定,買不同的票價及地點也都會有所差別,甚至有些乘客開心的通了海關後,就在免稅店大採購。等到了登機門,想要大包小包的上飛機時,被地勤人員給攔了下來,當被收超重的的時候是不是都會氣嘟嘟的希望地勤人員能夠通融,但其實飛機是有載重平衡的唷!如果每一位乘客都想著超重一點不會怎樣,那將會影響到飛航安全的問題。所以大家還是乖乖地照著航空公司的規定走吧!
Each airline has different baggage allowance. Different fares and locations will affect the restriction as well. Some passengers go shopping crazily in the duty-free shop and try to bring many bags on board. Most of the time, you will be stopped by ground staff. And they would ask you to pay for the overweight fee. Therefore, please don’t be mad at them, because every airplane has a load balance. If everyone thinks that being overweight is okay, it will affect the flight safety.
【YES~~單字教學】
Duty-free shop/store 免稅店
例句: Duty-free store normally would provide some items cheaper than department store.
(一般而言免稅店會提供給比百貨公司更便宜的商品。)
例句: Please show me the way to the duty-free shop.
(請告訴我免稅店怎麼走。)
Overweight 過重、超重
例句: If your luggage is overweight, you have to pay the overweight fee.
(如果你的行李過重,你要另外付超重費。)
例句: She didn’t pass the test, because she is overweight.
(由於她超重了,所以沒有通過測驗。)
Load balance 載重平衡
例句: We discussed load balancing in this class.
(在這堂課中我們討論載重平衡。)
例句: The ship must calculate the load balance when it sails.
(船在開航前必須先算過載重平衡。)
Flight safety 飛航安全
例句: Since 2000 , YES airline has maintained a 10-year flight safety record.
(至2000年起,YES航空公司保持了10年的飛航安全紀錄。)
例句: Some people googled the flight safety record of the airline before buying tickets.
