假期即将来临,很多朋友们都开始忙着制定假期旅行计划,当然订机票是不可少的。虽然现在多数情况下都是在网上预订,但是有时候如果能直接打电话给航空公司是可以在票务紧张(代理商显示没票)的时候订到想要的机票的。因此,学会用英语打电话订机票还是很有必要的。胡椒网小编在此分享一段预定机票的情景对话供大家参考学习。原对话来自BBC English,由小编翻译整理。

Tim: | Ah yes, hello. I’d like to enquire about flights to Hong Kong from Kennedy Airport in New York, please. I’m off to a conference at the end of the month - Thursday 22nd until Tuesday 27th. Could you tell me about the flight availability and prices? |
Dolores: | Certainly. Do you want to go economy, business or first class? |
Tim: | Well, I’d like to go first class, but unfortunately I’ll have to go economy - company rules, you see. |
Dolores: | Yes, sure, I understand. How many of you will be travelling? |
Tim: | Ah, it’s just me. |
Dolores: | Okay, so that’s one seat … economy … New York - Kennedy to Hong Kong Airport. |
Tim: | And how much will that be? |
Dolores: | Let me see … to qualify for the discount rate, you need to stay over a Saturday, which you are doing … Yes, that’ll be $830. |
