身临其境练一练

Gossip Girl,《绯闻女孩》

A:Can I come in? Our flight leaves in a few hours. I wanted to say goodbye. Please forgive me，Blair. I should have told you that I was bringing Roman. I knew that having him here would be hard for you. But I love you so much, and I love Roman, and I was hoping that if we were all thrown together, something perfect would happen, and that you would love him, too.

甲:我能进来吗？飞机几小时后就要起飞了。我想来说声再见。请原谅我，布莱尔。我 该告诉你我会带罗曼来。我知道有他在这儿会让你难过的。但是我很爱你，我也爱罗曼，我希望如果我们能和平相处，能够有美好的事情发生，而你也会爱他。

B:I was gonna convince you to move back to New York. But you bought a vineyard in France with Roman. What's next, a commitment ceremony? Great. There is no room in your life for me anymore.

乙:我本来想说服你搬回纽约的。可你却买了一栋庄园跟罗曼待在法国。接下来怎么 样？承诺仪式吗？好极了，你的生命里不再有我的位置了。

A:Sweetheart, there is always room for you. No matter where I am, no matter who I'm with. I，uh... This is part of your Christmas gift.

甲:亲爱的，我心里一直有你。不管我在哪儿，不管我和谁在一起。我，嗯……这是 你圣诞礼物的一部分。

B:Your house in France. It's very nice, daddy. I，m sure you and Roman will totally enjoy it.

乙:你在法国的家。这个礼物真好，爸爸。我相信你和罗曼会很开心的。

A:And so will you. Because this is...your room.

甲:你也会很开心的。因为这是…你的房间。

B:It's beautiful.

乙:好漂亮。

A:We're having it decorated just for you.

甲:我们是专门为你装饰的。

B:A cat.

乙:一只猫。

A:A cat named “cat”，like in your favorite movie. It was Roman's idea. So.. ? Merry Christmas, sweetheart. We're hoping that you'll spend the whole summer with us.

甲:一只叫“猫”的小猫，就像你最喜欢的那部电影里的猫。是罗受的主意。所以…圣诞快乐，亲爱的。我们希望你整个夏天能和我们一起过。

生活口语

When will flight AA3367 take off?

AA3367航班何时起飞?

Wait a moment, please.

请稍等。

重点讲解:

What's the departure time of flight AA 3367?

When will flight AA 3367 take off?

询问飞机起飞时间时，用departure time来表达固然没错，但是更简单的表达是用take off这个短语，该短语就可以表示“起飞”，所以可以说：When will flight...take off? flight后面可以加具体的航班号。
