Booking Tickets 订机票
Hello, I’d like to book a flight, to Los Angeles. The date for departure is March 5th.
你好，我要订到洛杉矶的机票。预定3月5日的。
I am sorry. All the seats are booked. How about the 6th? But since the 6th is on a weekend, the tickets cost a little more.
抱歉，所有位子都被预定了。6号的怎么样？但6号是周末，票价会贵一点。
Then I don’t want a weekend flight. How about the 8th?
那我不要周末的班机。8号的票有吗？
Let me see... yes, we have a flight departing at 4:00 p.m.
让我查一下……有的，有一班飞机下午4点起飞。
It’s all right. I’d like to get two one-way tickets.
没关系。我要订两张单程票。
No problem. May I have both of your names and passport numbers?
没问题。请告诉我你们的名字和护照号码。
My name is Lin Wenli, and the passport number is M1234561234. The other name is Max Chen, and his passport number is M9876549865.
我叫林文莉，护照号码是M1234561234，另一位叫陈麦克，护照号码是M9876549865。
OK, I’ve got it. So, you want two one-way tickets, from Beijing to L.A. on March 8th. Is that correct?
好的，我记下来了。那么，您订了两张3月8日北京到洛杉矶的单程机票，对吗？
That’s correct. Do I have to reconfirm before I go?
没错。请问出发前，我还需要再做确认吗？
Yes. Miss Lin. Your booking code is AAA211. If you need to cancel, please call us before March 1st.
