通关注意事项

搭机抵达外国国境时,必须在最先着陆的机场办理入境手续,在机场接受海关检验。海关一方面检查旅客入境资格,即是否可以入境;另一方面查验旅客的行李是否应交关税,或有违禁物品应予没收。

在入境检查时,照惯例,海关官员会问一些问题,这些问题最主要的是确定入境之后的住所地、入境目的、及携带多少钱等。回答时不必紧张,要针对问题从容回答,如“I will stay at. . .

”,“Sightseeing (Business)”,或“I have…dollars”等。

在检查行李时要递上证件,如验关人员要求开箱检查,立刻打开受检,不要迟疑。如果验关人员示意通过,也不要迟疑,立刻提着行李离开。

如果入境后要转机,得估计好时间,尽早到要转换的航空公司机场柜台去报到。行李要重新“check in”。如果机场大,为避免走冤枉路,不妨问一下人,如“Where should I go for the transfercheck in?”在换机手续办妥后,找到确定的机门后,就可以有一段休息时间了。

乘飞机外出的注意事项

乘飞机外出旅行或进行商务活动时,一个重要事项就是要问清楚航班飞行的时间,比如“How long is this flight?”这样就可以相应地制定自己的计划,算好旅程时间。

在机场,通常在不同的入口处等候不同的航班,在登机之前一定要问清楚,以免上错了飞机,可以说“Where do I board myplane?”在登机时,有两样东西是必不可少的,一个是机票,另一个就是在登记处领取的座位号。所以在登机的时候,要向机场服务人员出示这两样东西,可以说“Here's my ticket and seat assignment.

”另外,因为某种因,飞机起飞时间可能会有所拖延,那么在这种情况下,就应该向机务人员询问,如“Are we scheduledto leave on time?”

在坐长途飞行时,飞机上一般都会播放电影,以供乘客打发时间。在看电影时,旅客们得用耳机来听电影中的对话,以免打扰正在睡觉的旅客,因此,当需要耳机时,可以说“May I haveheadphones for the in-flight movie?”本句中的“in-flight movie”是指在飞机舱内播放的电影。如果既不想看电影,也不想睡觉,还有另外一种选择:“Do you have any magazines I can read duringthe flight?”在飞机上一般都会为乘客提供各式各样的报刊杂志。

请求服务

1. Can you tell me how to fasten my seat belt?你能告诉我怎么系安全带吗?

点菜

1. Give me the green and salmon in orange sauce.

“订餐”在英文中有两种说法,即book a table 和make areservation。在英国以及在其他很多国家,餐厅一般划分为吸烟区和非吸烟区。一进餐厅,服务员会主动征询客人的意见,然后引领客人前往所选择的区域就餐。

在西餐厅就餐,菜单一般由三类不同的菜别组成:the firstcourse 或者starters 是指第一道菜,往往是汤、一小碟色拉或其他小吃。第二道菜是主菜。Fish and chips 是鱼和炸土豆条,它同“roast beef and Yorkshire pudding (牛肉布丁)”、“shepherd's pie (牧羊人的馅饼)”一样,都是典型的英国传统主菜。最后一道甜食———或冷或热,但都是甜的。西方饮食习惯是先吃咸的,后吃甜的。西餐菜单名目繁多,有时不易读懂。遇到这种情况,可以请服务员解释一下。

2. I'd like a glass of white wine. 我要一杯白葡萄酒。

3. I'll have a steak, please. 请给我来一份牛排。

点菜要求

1. Please don't make the dish too rich.

洽谈业务

去海外拜访客户时要掌握的技巧

当你计划到海外出差,顺道拜访客户时,必须先通知对方。

出国以前再以传真或电话向对方确认访问的日期和目的。如果是临时决定的拜访,也要通过对方的秘书安排,告诉她I'd like tomake an appointment with Mr. Lee. (我想和李先生约见一次。)让对方对你的造访有所准备,才会有心情和你洽谈。另外最重要的是资料必须充实完备,这些通常比口头描述更有说服力。当客户听到你说“We have a pamphlet in English. ”(我们有英文的小册子)或“Please take this as a sample”(请将这个拿去当样品)时,一定会兴趣大进而问你许多和产品有关的问题。如果你平时资料搜集得全面,便能有问必答。这在商务沟通上是非常有利的。

be interested in our products.我来自ABC公司,不知您是否对我们的产品感兴趣。

1. Perhaps you've heard our product's name. Would you liketo know more about it? 也许您已听说过我们产品的名称,您想更进一步了解吗?

2. I'd like to know some information about the current investmentenvironment in your country.我想了解一下贵国的投资环境。

3. We have a pamphlet in English. 我们有英文的小册子。

4. Please take this as a sample. 请将这个拿去当样品。

    看古希腊神话故事学英语

    神话是远古人类思想与生活的反映,是原始信仰的产物。希腊神话故事经历了丰富的时代变迁和历史风云,几乎成为希腊乃至欧洲一切文学和艺术活动的基本素材。马克思曾说:“希腊神话不只是希腊艺术的宝库,而且是它的土壤”。希腊神话也是欧美文艺取之不尽的艺术源泉。希腊神话具有无穷的认识价值和永久的审美魅力。希腊神话还为现代奥林匹克运动会的形成奠定了基础。在古希腊这个神话王国中,优美动人的神话故事和曲折离奇的民间传说为古奥运会的起源蒙上一层神秘的色彩。那些经久不衰的神话故事让我们着迷,那些如雷贯耳的名字至今仍被我们尊为“大师”。时隔千年,希腊神话还对我们产生影响。
