第二周：星期三　By Ship 搭乘轮船

A：The channel boats are quite fast, aren't they?

B：Yes, very. They make the trip in about an hour.

A：I hope we won't have a rough passage.

B：No, I hope not. I want to have a deck chair and enjoy the crossing.

A：That's a good idea.

B：The sea seems quite calm, so there will be no fear of seasickness. Do you get seasick?

A：Yes, unfortunately, I'm very much subject to it.

A：这艘海峡船开得很快，是吗?

B：是的，非常快。这趟旅行大约要1小时。

A：但愿我们在旅途中不会遇到风浪。

B：是的，我也是这么希望的。我想在甲板上放一把椅子，欣赏沿途的海峡风景。

A：这是个好主意。

B：看上去大海很平静，所以可以不用担心会晕船了。你会晕船吗?

A：是的，不幸的是，我经常晕船。

A：I've just noticed that our cabin is on the third floor.

B：Yes. We are far away from the ship engine.

A：Look, the second class cabins are over there, located at the front of the ship.

B：What a big cabin! There are only two beds in it and with an air conditioner, a fridge and a bathroom.

A：It's really a modern compartment.

B：Yes, I think so, too. No wonder a second-class seat costs $585 while ours (third-class seat) is only $185.

A：The top floor is for the crew. They are very much like home, aren't they?

B：Yes, the crew needs a home on the ship because they spend most of their time on board.

A：You're right. Let's go down-stairs to the second floor.

A：我刚发现我们的船舱在三楼上。

B：是的。我们离船的发动机很远。

A：看，二等舱在那边，在船头那边。

B：多么大的舱室呀!里面只有两张床，配有空调、冰箱和卫浴设备。

A：这确实是一个现代化的包厢。

B：是的，我也这么认为。怪不得一个二等舱座位要花585美元钱而我们的(三等舱)只花185美元呢!

A：顶舱是乘务员休息的地方。这些舱室就像一个个的家，是吧?

B：是的，乘务员需要在船上有个家，因为他们的大部分时间是在船上度过的。

A：你说的对。我们下去看看二层吧。

A：The ticket office is over there.

B：I think the second class is suitable for us. The economic ones are usually very crowded.

A：Maybe you are right.

B：Let me go and buy the tickets.

A：All right.

B：Here are our tickets.

A：How much are they?

B：210 yuan each.

A：That's not too expensive. And it is more comfortable than by train.

B：Sure.

A：Let's go to the waiting room.

A：售票处在那。

B：我想我们买二等舱比较合适。经济舱通常太拥挤了。

A：也许你说得对。

B：我去买票吧。

A：好的。

B：我们的票买回来了。

A：多少钱一张?

B：210元一张。

A：那还真不贵。比乘火车还舒服。

B：那肯定。

A：让我们去候船厅吧。

A：Let's look around the ship.

B：Good idea.

A：Look! Some people are shopping there.

B：It is like a market.

A：Yes, it's good for passengers and good for the economy, too.

B：Let's go to visit the different cabins.

A：I've just noticed that our cabin is on the third floor.

B：Yes. We are far away from the ship engine.

A：Look, the second class cabins are over there, located at the front of the ship.

B：What a big cabin!

A：It's really a modern compartment.

B：Yes, I think so.

A：我们参观一下这艘船吧。

B：好主意。

A：看!那些人在那儿买东西呢。

B：真像一个市场。

A：是的，这对旅客很方便，对经济发展也有好处。

B：咱们去参观一下不同的船舱吧。

A：我刚发现咱们的船舱是在3层楼上的。

B：是的。我们离船的发动机很远。

A：看，二等舱在那边，在船头那边。

B：多么大的舱室呀!

A：这确实是一个现代化的包间。

B：是的，我也这么认为。

A：Hello, Ann. I'm glad to see you.

B：Hello, Lily. Did you have a good trip?

A：Yes, thank you. I was a bit seasick but they gave me some medicine and it made me feel better. All in all, it was very pleasant, but it wasn't a smooth trip.

B：You must be pretty tired. Have you eaten?

A：No, and you?

B：No, I've been waiting for you since three o'clock.

A：Oh, I'm very sorry. The ship was delayed.

B：Let's have dinner first.

A：All right.

A：你好，安。很高兴见到你。

B：你好，莉莉。一路顺利吗?

A：很顺利，谢谢。我有一点晕船，他们给了我一些药，吃后就舒服点了。总的来说，虽然船不是很平稳，但是这可真是一次愉快的旅行。

B：你一定很累了。吃过饭了吗?

A：没有，你呢?

B：也没有，我从3点开始就等你了。

A：哦，对不起。船误点了。

B：我们先去吃饭吧。

A：好的。
