第十五課: 討論旅游內(nèi)容
Lesson 15: Discussing a Tour
各位聽眾朋友好，歡迎您收聽《 旅游業(yè)英語》節(jié)目，今天我們要學(xué)習(xí)第十五課。我是澳大利亞澳洲廣播電臺(tái)中文部的節(jié)目主持人馬健媛。
這套共二十六講的教材有助于您更好地與講英語的客人溝通交流。
在這一講中，利奧與杰克和蒙納討論了他們旅游的內(nèi)容。通過他們之間的對(duì)話，您可以學(xué)習(xí)到如何用英語詢問客人的喜好，如何用將來時(shí)態(tài)表述未來要發(fā)生的事情，以及如何做出自己的建議?，F(xiàn)在先讓我們一起來聽這段對(duì)話的第一部份。利奧、蒙納和杰克正在酒店的大堂里閱讀有關(guān)旅游景點(diǎn)的小冊(cè)子。
Leo: Now, what did you have in mind? A full day tour?
Jack: Yes.
Mona: The zoo looks good. I love animals.
Jack: But we can go to the zoo anywhere, Mona. Leo, what’s something we can only see in this city?
Leo: Well, you’re in luck. The Lantern Festival parade is on tomorrow. It’s very colourful.
Mona: Is it near the harbour? I’d love to see the harbour.
Jack: We have harbours in Australia, Mona.
利奧: 您想?yún)⒓邮裁礃拥穆糜尉€路？是一日游嗎？
Leo: Now, what did you have in mind? A full day tour?
杰克: 是的。
Jack: Yes.
蒙納: 動(dòng)物園這個(gè)景點(diǎn)看起來不錯(cuò)，我喜歡動(dòng)物。
Mona: The zoo looks good. I love animals.
杰克: 可是，蒙納，動(dòng)物園哪里都有啊。利奧，這個(gè)城市值得一看的、獨(dú)特的東西是什么？
Jack: But we can go to the zoo anywhere, Mona. Leo, what’s something we can only see in this city?
利奧: 對(duì)了，你們真的很幸運(yùn)。元宵節(jié)燈會(huì)就在明天舉行。那是一個(gè)五彩繽紛的活動(dòng)。
Leo: Well, you’re in luck. The Lantern Festival parade is on tomorrow. It’s very colourful.
蒙納: 它是在海港附近舉行的嗎？我想看看海港。
Mona: Is it near the harbour? I’d love to see the harbour.
杰克: 澳洲也有很多海港可以看呀，蒙納。
Jack: We have harbours in Australia, Mona.
您注意到在這段對(duì)話中利奧是如何詢問客人對(duì)哪條旅游線路感興趣的嗎？
利奧: 您想?yún)⒓邮裁礃拥穆糜尉€路？
Leo: Now, what did you have in mind?
WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND？ 利奧在這里使用了英語中的過去式。當(dāng)然，如果為了使句子更加生動(dòng)，利奧也可以用一般現(xiàn)在式。他可以說 WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND？ 另外，我們還可以用另外一句英語表達(dá)同樣的意思，那就是 WHAT SORT OF TOUR WERE YOU AFTER？在英語中，TO BE AFTER SOMETHING 這個(gè)短語表示你想要做什么事的意思。現(xiàn)在讓我們一起來練習(xí)這兩個(gè)短語。
What did you have in mind?
What did you have in mind?
What sort of tour were you after?
What sort of tour were you after?
請(qǐng)注意聽利奧如何告訴蒙納和杰克元宵燈會(huì)的舉行日期。
利奧: 元宵節(jié)燈會(huì)就在明天舉行。
Leo: The Lantern Festival parade is on tomorrow.
您注意到了嗎？雖然元宵節(jié)燈會(huì)在明天舉行，但是利奧卻使用了一般現(xiàn)在式。這種用法在英語中很普遍。但要注意的是你一定要在句子中包括一個(gè)表示未來時(shí)間的明確詞匯。另外，在這個(gè)句子中還有一個(gè)介詞 ON , 它必須用在一個(gè)時(shí)間名詞的前面。請(qǐng)跟著老師重復(fù)這個(gè)句子。
The festival is on tomorrow
The parade is on next Wednesday.
The tour is on at nine.
讓我們?cè)俾犚槐檫@部份對(duì)話，請(qǐng)重復(fù)利奧的句子。
Leo: Now, what did you have in mind? A full day tour?
Jack: Yes.
Mona: The zoo looks good. I love animals.
Jack: But we can go to the zoo anywhere, Mona. Leo, what’s something we can only see in this city?
Leo: Well, you’re in luck. The Lantern Festival parade is on tomorrow. It’s very colourful.
Mona: Is it near the harbour? I’d love to see the harbour.
Jack: We have harbours in Australia, Mona.
各位聽眾朋友，您現(xiàn)在收聽的是澳洲廣播電臺(tái)為您制作的“旅游業(yè)英語”教學(xué)節(jié)目。
第十五課: 討論旅游內(nèi)容。
Lesson 15: Discussing a Tour
請(qǐng)注意聽下面這部份對(duì)話中出現(xiàn)的生詞和新的短語。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you. It’s a dolphin watch harbour cruise.
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
Mona: Oh this looks good.
Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow.
Leo: Perfect for a cruise.
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
Leo: You can do both! The cruise takes four hours and the parade doesn’t start until after sunset.
Jack: Sounds good to me.
請(qǐng)?jiān)俾犚槐閷?duì)話及中文翻譯
利奧: 也許您會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)感興趣，那就是乘船觀看海豚。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you. It’s a dolphin watch harbour cruise.
杰克: 這個(gè)活動(dòng)收費(fèi)多少錢呢，利奧？
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
利奧: 您也看到了，這個(gè)活動(dòng)的收費(fèi)是非常合理的。
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
蒙納: 這個(gè)活動(dòng)看起來不錯(cuò)呀。
Mona: Oh this looks good.
利奧: 明天的天氣晴朗，非常適合乘船游覽。
Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow. Perfect for a cruise.
杰克: 我還是想去看元宵燈會(huì)。
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
利奧: 可以二者兼顧。乘船觀海豚活動(dòng)只要四個(gè)小時(shí)，而元宵燈會(huì)要到太陽落山之后才會(huì)開始。
Leo: You can do both! The cruise takes four hours and the parade doesn’t start until after sunset.
杰克: 我想這是個(gè)好主意呀。
Jack: Sounds good to me.
請(qǐng)注意聽利奧是如何向客人提出建議的。
利奧: 也許您會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)感興趣。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you.
在以前的課文中我們學(xué)習(xí)了向客人提出建議時(shí)會(huì)用到的一個(gè)短語，那就是 MAY I SUGGEST……..而利奧剛才所說的 PERHAPS THIS WILL INTEREST YOU 則是提出建議時(shí)的另外一種客氣的說法。請(qǐng)注意聽錄音并跟著重復(fù)。
Perhaps this will interest you.
Perhaps this will interest you.
現(xiàn)在讓我們來聽聽利奧和杰克是如何討論價(jià)格的吧。
杰克: 這個(gè)活動(dòng)收費(fèi)多少錢呢，利奧？
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
利奧: 您也看到了，這個(gè)活動(dòng)的收費(fèi)是非常合理的。
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
在詢問收費(fèi)情況時(shí)，杰克用了一句在澳洲非常流行的說法，那就是HOW MUCH WILL THAT SET US BACK？ 而利奧在形容收費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)則使用了REASONABLE 這個(gè)詞，表示這樣的收費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)既不低廉，也不過高，而是屬于合理的范疇之內(nèi)。請(qǐng)聽對(duì)話并跟著重復(fù)。
Reasonable.
Reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
As you can see…
As you can see…
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
為了向客人進(jìn)一步推銷乘船觀看海豚的活動(dòng)，利奧還引用了第二天的天氣預(yù)報(bào)。不言而喻，如果你在與客人討論未來的旅游行程時(shí)能夠附帶提供相關(guān)的天氣預(yù)報(bào)，其效果就是有可能會(huì)對(duì)客人選擇哪一個(gè)行程產(chǎn)生影響。值得注意的是利奧在這樣做的時(shí)候使用了兩個(gè)很有效的形容詞， COLOURFUL 五彩繽紛，和 PERFECT 絕好的，非常適合的。接下來就讓我們一起來做一些練習(xí)。請(qǐng)您先聽中文翻譯，然后請(qǐng)重復(fù)英文句子。
晴朗天氣。
Fine and sunny.
天氣將會(huì)晴朗。
It’s going to be fine and sunny.
溫暖晴天。
Warm and sunny.
天氣將會(huì)是溫暖加晴天。
It’s going to be warm and sunny.
非常適合于。。。
Perfect.
非常適合于乘船游覽。
It’s perfect for a cruise.
非常適合野餐。
It’s perfect for a picnic.
五彩繽紛
Colourful.
它非常的五彩繽紛。

讓我們?cè)僖黄饋砺犚槐檫@段對(duì)話的第二部份，請(qǐng)?jiān)诶麏W的句子后面跟著重復(fù)。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you.
Leo: It’s a dolphin watch harbour cruise.
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
Mona: Oh this looks good.
Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow.
Leo: Perfect for a cruise.
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
Leo: You can do both!
Leo: The cruise takes four hours…
Leo: … and the parade doesn’t start until after sunset.
Jack: Sounds good to me.
