GoEnglish:Take a flight——Intermediate
各位聽眾，大家好！今天我們為您播出“美語三級跳”節目“坐飛機”單元的中級課程。
Winnie:Todd 圣誕節要回阿拉斯加看望父母，他正在機場過安檢。
Professor:In this first part, an airport security guard is telling Todd what to do before he goes through the metal detector and puts his bags through the x-ray machine.
Winnie:Metal detector 金屬探測器，我最討厭在機場過這個東西，每次都要脫鞋，解腰帶，煩死了!
Professor:Well I agree that it's annoying, but aren't you glad the metal detectors keep you safe?
Winnie:這倒也是，Professor Bowman, 為了安全起見，我們只好作些犧牲了。
Security guard:Excuse me sir! Please make sure to take off your shoes, jacket and belt and put them through the x-ray machine.
Todd:OK, just a moment ... Alright, there you go.
Security guard:Hmm ... the X-ray machine is showing some strange things in your bag. I'll have to search it.
Todd:Sure, go ahead. I don't have any dangerous items on me.
Winnie:Professor Bowman, Todd說 "I don't have any dangerous items on me", 就是說自己身上沒有危險物品吧？
Professor:That's right. A policeman might ask if you have any weapons on you, or a friend might ask if you have any money on you that he could borrow.
Winnie:Todd 最好沒有隨身帶什么違禁物品。
Professor:I hope so too. Let's listen and find out.
Security guard:Sir! Have these bags been in your possession at all times?
Todd:Yes, I've had them in my sight since I packed them.
Security guard:I see ... [She looks through Todd's bag.] And what is this? You didn't think you could get on the plane with such a dangerous item, did you?
Todd:It's just a bottle of water.
Security guard:Don't you know people can make bombs out of liquid? You can't take it on the plane.
Todd:Well, alright ... I didn't realize liquids aren't allowed on planes.
Winnie:我還以為安檢人員在Todd包里找到了什么危險品呢，原來是一瓶水而已！不過，Professor Bowman，Todd 說他的行李一直 in his sight, 這是什么意思??？
Professor:It means he's watched the bags closely. You can also say that you won't let something out of your sight. For example, I promise I'll take good care of your children. I won't let them out of my sight.
Security guard:Do you have any other dangerous items in your carry-on bags?
Todd:I don't think so. What else is considered dangerous?
Security guard:Well, you can't have any toothpaste on you. People can make bombs that look like toothpaste too!
Todd:Well no, I don't have any toothpaste on me. I packed all of that in my checked bags.
Winnie:等一下，Professor Bowman, carry-on bags 和 checked bags 有什么區別？
Professor:Carry-on bags are the bags that you carry onto the plane. Checked bags are those you hand over to the airlines before boarding a plane.
Winnie:我明白了，carry-on bags 就是隨身帶上飛機的行李，checked bags 則是我們說的托運行李。
Professor:Exactly. The word "check" can also be a verb. For example, an airline worker might tell you that your bag is too big to carry on the plane, so you need to check it.
Security guard:Alright, I'm finished searching your belongings. You can go now.
Todd:Thanks. Can you tell me which way gate D27 is?
Security guard:Gate D27? Sorry, you're in the wrong terminal. This is Terminal 1. You have to go to Terminal 2.
Todd:Oh no ... You mean I have to go to Terminal 2 and go through the security check there again?
Security guard:That's right.
Todd:But that will take another hour! I might miss my flight!
Security guard:Too bad. Safety comes first!
Winnie:Wrong terminal? 那就是走錯候機樓了？哎呀，Todd 可真倒霉，居然走錯了候機樓，還要到別的候機樓再過一次安檢。不過，我看這個安檢人員并不在乎Todd會不會誤機。
Professor:That's right. You can say "too bad" whenever somebody tells you about their problem, but you don't really care.
Winnie:說實話，我還真替 Todd 捏把冷汗，如果趕不上飛機，錯過了圣誕節，他父母一定也會非常難過的！
Professor:Well, tune in next time to see if Todd will make the flight!
B:I'll remember that - no liquid or toothpaste in carry-on bags!
A：And you need to make sure you're at the right gate!
B:Of course!
A:對了，上次你說你特別愛看American Football, 這回去了中國，就不能看現場比賽了，只能在電視上或者網上看了吧？
B:Yeah...that's a bummer. But I'm sure there are sports bars in Beijing, where 老外 like me get together to watch the games!
A:嗯！大家一起看球最熱鬧，熱開心！下面咱們就來聽聽“禮節美語”，看看美國人為什么這么喜愛football!
