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
