旅程安排
Trip Arrangements
A: Well, that’s it. Seven appointments in Paris at the beginning of the week, and four in Frankfort at the end of the week.
A:好的,就这样了。这个星期前半部分时间在巴黎有7个会谈,后半部分时间在法兰克福又有4个会谈。
B: It’s certainly a tight schedule.
B:日程的确很紧。
A: Now it’s a question of getting there. I need a flight to Paris on Sunday evening and a hotel in Paris for three nights. I have to be in Frankfurt by eleven o’clock on Thursday morning, and I’ll need a hotel for one night. I’ll head home on Friday.
A:现在的问题是怎么到达那里。我需要坐周日晚上的飞机到巴黎,要在那边的旅馆里住3个晚上。我得在周四上午11:00到达法兰克福,要在那儿住一晚。我周五返回。
B: At what time?
B:什么时候?
A: My last appointment is at three, so I should be free by five at the very latest. I think I could get to the airport by six.
A:最后的会谈是在3点,所以最迟应该在5点就没事了。我想能在6点前到达机场。
B: Do you know how far you’ll be from the airport at five?
B: 5点的时候你知道自己距离机场有多远吗?
A: No, not really.
A:不知道,不是很清楚。
B: So you’re not sure how long it will take to get there?
B:所以你还不能确定到机场需要多长时间吧?
A: No, but I’m sure it won’t take more than an hour.
A:不知道,不过我确定应该不超过1小时。
B: Don’t forget it’s Friday night. If Frankfurt is anything like London, everyone will be leaving for the weekend. It’ll be a rush hour, and traffic might be moving very slowly.
B:但是别忘了那是周五晚上。如果法兰克福也像伦敦,那每个人都在周末外出。那时候肯定是交通高峰时段,车会开得很慢。
A: You’re a pessimist.
A:你是个消极主义者。
B: I’m a realist.
B:我是个现实主义者。
