原汁原味商务英语播客第135课:换航班  

Wele back to Business English Pod as we continue to look at the language and vocabulary of air travel.
Air travel relies on a very plex system of scheduling. Unfortunately
that means that travel plans don't always work perfectly. The possibility of problems goes up whenever you have one or more connecting flights. What if one airplane is late? What if your bags aren't transferred properly to your next flight? What if the connecting airport has delays?
Problems happen
and you need to be prepared to deal with them. This is what we'll be looking at in this lesson. Last time we heard Robert check in for a flight to London
with a connecting flight in Chicago. Everything went smoothly at check-in. Robert stated his destination
checked his bags
chose a seat
and confirmed his gate and timing. But his connecting flight was scheduled to leave soon after he arrived in Chicago. And for that reason
a delay in landing has ruined Robert's travel plans.
问题发生了，你需要做好解决它们的准备。这就是我们在这一课里要学习的。上一节中，我们听到罗伯特登上去伦敦的飞机，选择了一个座位，那个就是转机的航班。在检票的时候，一切都进行地很顺利。罗伯特说了他的目的地，检查了他的包裹，选择了一个座位，确认了他的登机门和时间。但是他的转机在他到达芝加哥不久就要起飞了。由于这个原因，飞机晚点到达破坏了他的计划。
Today we'll hear Robert trying to work through the problem of a missed connection. He needs to work out a solution so that he can get to London for an important meeting the following morning. To do that
he'll need to explain his problem
express urgency
make special requests
work through options
and agree reluctantly.
