今天的這段對話,在討論出國,
第一次出國需要準備些什么?什么時候出發(fā)
來聽今天的講解:
A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference. Is that right?
我聽說你要被派到馬德里去參加年會了,是嗎?
B: Yes. It will be my first trip overseas. Actually, it's going to be my first time leaving the country.
是的,這將是我第一次海外旅行,實際上這是我第一次出國。
A: Are you serious? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?
你是認真的嗎?你在假期時也哪里沒有去過嗎?
B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on my company time.
沒有。我從來沒有去過國外度。但是即使我沒有在私人時間旅游,至少我可以用出差時間旅游。
A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied at the embassy for a visa yet?
去參加這個會議是個很不錯的機會,你去大使館申請簽證了嗎?
B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.
是的,這并不難。我只要填一些表格和交申請費。
A: You leave next Tuesday right? What time is your flight?
你是下周二出發(fā)嗎?你的飛機幾點起飛的?
B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.
飛機早上七點起飛,我就差準備行李了。
A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.
如果你的飛機起飛的很早,我可以送你去機場,然后送你離開,這樣我依然可以在九點到辦公室。
B: That would be great. Thanks a lot.
那太好了,非常感謝。
