1.9 Trip Arrangements 旅程安排
M: Well, that's it. 7 appointments in Paris at beginning of next week, and 4 in Frankfurt at the end of the week.
M:好的,就这样了,下周前半部分时间在巴黎有7个会谈,后半部分时间在法兰克福又有4个会谈。
W: It's certainly a tight schedule.
W:日程的确很紧。
M: Now it's a question of getting there. I need a flight to Paris on Sunday evening and a hotel in Paris for 3 nights. I have to be in Frankfurt by 11:00 on Thursday morning. And I will need a hotel for one night. I will head home on Friday.
M:现在的问题是怎么到达那里,我需要坐周日晚上的飞机到巴黎,要在那边的旅馆里住三个晚上,我得在周四上午11:00到达法兰克福,要在那儿住一晚,并于周五返回。
W: At what time?
W:什么时候?
M: My last appointment is at 3:00, so I should be free by 5:00 at the very latest. I think I could get to the airport by 6:00.
M:我最后的会谈是在3点,所以我最迟应该在5点就没事了,我想我应该在6点前到达机场。
W: Do you know how far you will be from the airport at 5:00?
W:你知道5点的时候你距离机场有多远吗?
M: No, not really.
M:不是很清楚。
W: So you are not sure how long it will take to get there?
W:所以你还不能确定到机场需要多长时间吧?
M: No, but I am sure it won't take more than an hour.
M:不知道,不过我确定应该不超过一个小时。
W: Don't forget it's Friday nighty. If Frankfurt's anything like London, everybody will be leaving for the weekend. It will be a rush hour and traffic might be moving very slowly.
W:但是别忘了那是周五晚上,如果法兰克福也像伦敦,每个人都在周末外出,那么那时候肯定是交通高峰时间段,车辆会开得很慢的。
M: You are a pessimist.
M:你是个消极主义者。
W: I am a realist.
W:我只是个现实主义者而已。
