Part 1 At the Customs and Immigration 在海关入境处

Dialogue Script 1 对话原文1

Officer: Good afternoon, sir. May I see your passport, please?
Peter: Of course. Here you are.
Officer: What is the purpose of your visit? Business or pleasure?
Peter: Pleasure.
Officer: I see. How long will you be staying in the U.S.?
Peter: Two weeks. I'll be leaving on June 10th.
Officer: Where do you intend to visit while in the country?
Peter: LA first; then I'll be heading on to New York city.
Officer: Do you have a return ticket to the P.R.C.?
Peter: Yes; however, I'll be returning via Japan——not going back to the P.R.C. directly.

讲解:

1.这段对话讲的是下了飞机之后, 要到入境处办理一些手续。入境处官员就会要求看你的护照(May I see your passport, please?)。除了验证你的护照,入境处官员(immigration officer)还会顺带问你一些问题,比如你到这个国家来做什么,停留的日期,返回的日期等等。一般就是例行公事,不会太刁难人。

2.What is the purpose of your visit? Business or pleasure? 你此行的目的是什么?出差还是旅游? 注意这里用的是pleasure来回答的,一般回答要简短,不用太详细。

3.Where do you intend to visit while in the country? 这段时间你都打算到哪去?你可以简单地把你的行程告诉他就可以了。总之,态度要大方、友好就行了。

4.head on to 前往某地,一般是说先到某地,然后在从这个地方到另一个地方。 比如:After visiting Aunt Sarah in Paris, I'm heading on to London. 在巴黎看望Sarah姨妈后,我接着就要去伦敦。 head for somewhere去某地,但这个词组表示直接去某地,比如:Where are you heading for? I'm heading for San Fransisco.你要去哪啊?我要去旧金山。

5.a return ticket返程机票,一般如果出国时间比较短的话,可以买two-way ticket,或者 round-way ticket,也就是往返机票。

6. I'll be returning via Japan 中via这个词是经过,经由的意思,这句话也就是说我回去的时候会途经日本,在日本转机。

Dialogue Script 2 对话原文2

(on to Customs) (走向海关)

Inspector: Do you have anything to declare?
Tom: No, I don't think so.
Inspector: Well, would you mind opening this bag?
Tom: I guess not, although I might not be able to close it again.
Inspector: Aha, what are these magazines?
Tom: Oh, dear, I didn't realize I still had those.
Inspector: Well, sir, since we are very strict about pornography(色情刊物), I will have to confiscate(没收) them. Tom: Certainly.
Inspector: And what's this? Three bottles of whiskey.
Tom: That's the legal limit.
Inspector: Yes, but what about these two six packs of wine spritzers(白葡萄酒苏打水)?
Tom: Oh, those-well, it's just a fun drink-it's not really alcohol.
Inspector: Says here 4%. I'm afraid you'll have to choose.
Tom: OK, take the spritzers.
Inspector: And what's this?
Tom: An aloe(芦荟) plant-good for the health.
Inspector: It's illegal to bring it into the country, sorry. Well, I guess that about takes care of everything.
Tom: You are not kidding! You've taken most of my souvenirs(纪念品) from the States.
Inspector: Well, think of it this way, now you'll be able to shut your bag, no problem.

讲解:

1.这段对话说的是Tom在美国旅行结束后回国时在机场海关遇到检查的事。无论在什么时候出境, 在机场你都会遇到海关的检查。所有国家的海关都会规定各自国家的禁入或者禁出物品(forbidden items or restricted items),其中包括各种可能带菌的植物、水果、肉类、酒类、毒品以及武器弹药自然都在违禁之列。日用品象摩丝、剃须膏等根本就不能带上飞机。海关人员一般都是非常友好的。可是如果遇到什么紧急情况,比如美国在911之后,对海关的检查就非常非常的严格。不过不用担心,只要你在出国或回国时搞清楚这个国家海关的规定就不会有问题了。

2.海关人员一般会这样问你:Do you have anything to declare? 或者Anything to declare?你是否带有需要申报纳税的物品?如果你不知道哪些东西需要纳税,就可以问一句,Could you tell me what things have duty on them? 你能告诉我哪些东西需要纳税吗?

3.一些在海关常会用到的表达模式:

Any arms,munitions, living plants, or animals?
有武器弹药和活的动植物吗?
Do you have to pay duty on the liquor and cigarettes?
烟和酒要交税吗?
All this luggage is mine.
这些行李都是我的。
I have a suitcase and a traveling bag.
我有一个手提箱和一个旅行包。
Take a look, please.
请检查吧。
I have a few things to declare.
我有一些东西需要申报。
I don't think I have anything to declare.
我没什么东西要申报的。
These items are for personal use.
这些东西都是私人物品。
How long will it take us to get through the customs.
通过海关检查要多长时间。
Where should I go through the custom?
海关在哪?
I only have shirts and things like that.
我只有衬衫一类的东西。
The custom formalities are simple.
海关检查的手续很简单。
How much duty should I pay?
我该付多少税?

Part 2 At A Hotel 在酒店

Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1   

Ms Lincy: Good morning, sir. May I help you?
David: Yes. I have a room booked with you, for three days starting today. Name of Wang. W-A-N-G.
Ms Lincy: Thank you, Mr. Wang. Please wait one moment while I check our reservations list.(pause) That's Mr. David Wang, from Beijing?
David: Yes, it is.
Ms Lincy: Can I see your passport, please?
David: Sure, here you are.(a moment later)
Ms Lincy: Mr. Wang, everything is O.K. Your booking is from today through Friday. Single room. Your room number is 505. Here's your key.
David: Thanks. Could you point me in the right direction?
Ms. Lincy: Certainly, sir. The elevators are right across the lobby. Second floor to fifteenth are the elevators to the right.

讲解:

来到酒店,首先要到前台去登记入住(check in),顺便说一下,在酒店退房间离开就是check out。如果你事先预定了一个房间,就直接告诉前台服务生,并告诉他你的名字。登记的时候,服务人员会需要你出示你的身份证明,比如护照,驾驶执照之类的东西。另外在宾馆门口,门卫也会向你问候,还有行李工为你搬运行李,当然这些都是要付小费的,比如给行李工的小费至少要一美圆一包。,如果门卫给你叫了一辆出租车,同样你也要付小费的。

Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2

Richard: I'd like to check in, please.
Clerk: Certainly. Do you have a reservation?
Richard: Yes, the name is Lawrence. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence.
Clerk: Here we are. For five nights. Could you fill in the registration card, please?
And I'll need your credit card.
Richard: All right.
Clerk: Thank you. And here's your room key. Room 816.
Richard: Does that room have an ocean view?
Clerk: No. The room with ocean view are $15 more per night. Your room overlooks... the parking lot.
Richard: Well, we'd like a room with an ocean view, please.
Clerk: I'm sorry, those rooms are all taken.

讲解:

1.在这段对话中接待员要看Richard的信用卡,因为在登记的时候即使你用现金付款,也要看你的信用卡,这是一道手续。

2.Those rooms are all taken.房间都定满了。



Dialogue Script 3 对话原文 3

David: (To himself) I really overslept. Oh, boy, eleven o'clock. I need something to eat. I'm starving.
Clerk: Front desk. Can I help you?
David: Yeah, hi. This is room 306. Is your dining room still open?
Clerk: I'm sorry, sir. The dining room closed at 10:30.
David: Oh, no. Well, do you know where I can get something to eat?
Clerk: Just call room service at extension 121. You can order a light mean from them. They'll send it up to your room.  David: Oh, thanks. I'll give them a call.

讲解:

一般宾馆都会有餐厅开放,有的是全天开放,有的是在固定时间开放。入住的时候要搞清楚。如果你错过了就餐时间,也没有关系,因为可以叫房间服务送餐,但是一般价格比较贵,还要额外付小费。

Dialogue Script 4 对话原文 4

Anne: Are those motel lights up ahead? Yes! And the "Vacancy" sign is lit. Thanks heavens.
Clerk: Hi, can I help you?
Anne: Yes, I'd like a room for the night, please. The sign outside says you have vacancies.
Clerk: Yes, but only a couple. I guess nobody wants to drive in this storm.
Anne: I sure don't. How much are the rooms?
Clerk: They're $50 a night.
Anne: That's fine.
Clerk: I can give you Room 118. It's right beside the coffee shop. I just need you to sign the register.
Anne: There you go. I'm awfully hungry. Is the coffee shop still open?
Clerk: Yeah, it's open until nine o'clock. If you want anything after that, there are a couple of vending machines for soft drinks, chocolate bars-things like that.
Anne: Thank you. By the way, is there a television in the room?
Clerk: Yes, there is. We've got cable TV.
Anne: Ok, that's great.
Clerk: Well, here's the key. If you need anything else, more towels or anything, the office is open until midnight.
Anne: OK, thanks again.

讲解:

1.在美国,还有一种汽车旅馆,叫做motel,通常它只提供一张床,一个浴室以及一台电视机。汽车旅馆主要集中在高速公路汇集处,这样,驾车旅行的人在一英里左右距离内就可以有很多选择。一般motel的外面都会立着一些霓虹灯牌子,招揽顾客。如果还有空房间,还可以写上“Vacancy”。motel的周围还会有一些小吃店和便利店,以方便顾客。

2.vending machine,自动售货机,投硬币或塞入纸币就能买到一些零食和饮料,现在在中国也很常见。

3.一些在宾馆常能用到的表达模式:
