我们在外国机场等候登机时,如果遇到航班延误或取消时,我们应该如何运用自己所学的英语知识来进行咨询呢?下面让我们一起来学习吧。
咨询航班延误或取消时可应用以下短句:
Is my flight on schedule? (请问我的航班准时起飞吗?)
What’s causing the delay? (是什么导致了飞机延误?)
How much longer do I have to wait? (我还需要等多久?)
What’s the new departure time? (请问新的起飞时间是什么时候?)
Has my flight been canceled? (我的航班被取消了吗?)
情景对话:
(一)询问航班是否能准时起飞
- 旅客:Excuse me. Is my flight on schedule? (不好意思,请问我的航班准时起飞吗?)
- 机场人员:I'm sorry to tell you that your flight has been delayed. The new departure time is 14:00(我很遗憾地告诉您,您的航班延误了。起飞时间改为下午2点)
- 旅客:Oh, that’s too bad.(太糟糕了。)
(二)询问航班延误的原因
- 旅客:Excuse me. We were supposed to board the plane a half hour ago. What’s causing the delay? (我们本应该半个小时之前登机的。是什么导致了飞机延误?)
- 机场人员:The delay is due to heavy fog. (飞机由于大雾而延误了。)
- 旅客:How much longer do I have to wait? (我还需要等多久?)
- 机场人员:I’m not sure. We will keep you informed. (我也不确定。有消息我们会及时通知您的。)
(三)当得知航班被取消后,询问是否可以改签
- 旅客:Excuse me. My flight has been delay for 5 hours. What’s the new departure time? (我的航班已经延误5个小时了。请问新的起飞时间是什么时候?)
- 机场人员:I'm sorry to tell you that your flight has been canceled.(很抱歉,你的航班被取消了。)
- 旅客:That’s too bad. I must leave today. Are there seats on another airline? (太糟糕了。我必须今天走。其他航班还有座位吗?)
- 机场人员:We can get you on the flight for 21:00. (我们可以帮您安排在晚上9点的航班。)
- 旅客:Do I need to pay extra for the ticket? (我需要再额外支付机票费用吗?)
- 机场人员:Yes. You’ll have to pay an additional 50 dollars. (是的,你需要额外支付50美金。)
(四)询问航班取消后的后续安排
- 旅客:Excuse me. Has my flight been canceled? (我的航班被取消了吗?)
- 机场人员:Yes. Due to the maintenance of the aircraft, your flight has been canceled. (是的。因为飞机机械原因,你的航班被取消了。)
