情景對話
Anna: I hear that you will go to a seaside city for holiday this summer. What kind of vehicle would you choose?
安娜：我聽說這個夏天你們將要去一個海邊城市度假。你們會選擇哪種交通工具？
Beck: We would like to go there by ship. It will be the first time that I have taken a ship. Have you ever traveled by ship?
貝克：我們打算乘船去。那將是我第一次坐輪船。你以前坐輪船旅游過嗎？
Anna: Me, either, but I heard that many people felt sick on the ship. You'd better prepare some pills for seasickness.
安娜：我也沒有。但我聽說很多人都會暈船。你最好準備些暈船藥。
Beck: OK, I will. Thank you.
貝克：好的，我會的。謝謝。
?it be the first / second / third time...that是一個固定句式，表示“某人第幾次做某事”。如果it后面的be動詞是過去時，那么that引導的定語從句則用過去完成時；如果be動詞是現在或將來時，則that引導的定語從句則用現在完成時。
Mother: Have you got everything ready? We are leaving tomorrow.
媽媽：東西都準備好了嗎？我們明天就要出發了。
Alice: Everything is OK, except for several changes of clothes.
愛麗絲：除了幾件換洗的衣服，其他的都準備好了。
Mother: Don't carry too many things; there is a baggage allowance in the ship.
媽媽：不要帶太多東西；在輪船上行李是限重的。
Alice: I see. I only take some necessaries.
愛麗絲：我知道。我只帶一些必需品。
?except for意為“除了……之外”, for后面跟名詞或代詞，for后面的部分不包括在前面所述的范圍之內。
Brown: Do I have to a reservation?
布朗：我必須預訂嗎？
Carl: You needn't. But to be on the safe side, you'd better book it in advance.
卡爾：不必。但是為了保險起見，你最好提前訂票。
Brown: Can I book one on the Internet?
布朗：我能在網上訂票嗎？
Carl: Of course, just the same as the process of booking train tickets.
卡爾：當然了，就跟訂火車票的流程一樣。
?on the safe side意為“小心地、安全地、謹慎地”，相當于副詞，經常放在動詞之后，與不定式to be連用，表示“出于安全考慮”的意思。
Charles: How much does a round-trip ticket to Australia cost?
查爾斯：一張去澳大利亞的往返票需要多少錢？
Ticket Agent: Which kind of ticket would you like to buy, economy class or first class? The ticket of economy class is 800 US dollars and the first class is 1,000 US dollars.
票務員：你想買哪種票，經濟艙還是頭等艙？經濟艙是800美元，頭等艙是1000美元。
Charles: Well, the economy class is usually very croweded, so I'd like to take the first class' ticket. Do you have any tickets available for today?
查爾斯：嗯，經濟艙通常很擠，我想要頭等艙的票。有今天的票嗎？
Ticket Agent: Yes, but there are only tickets for midnight. Would you still like to buy?
票務員：有，但是只剩下午夜的票了。你還想要買嗎？
?round-trip表示“往返程”的意思，而a single trip則表示“單程”。
Anne: Excuse me, how long does it take to Rotterdam?
安妮：打擾一下，我們多久能到鹿特丹港？
Ship steward: About five hours. We can arrive in Rotterdam by 7 p.m.

Anne: Well, by the way, can you get me a drink of water?
安妮：那好，對了，你能給我拿杯水嗎？
Ship steward: Please wait a moment; I'll bring some to you right away.
輪船乘務員：請稍等，我馬上給你拿一些水。
?get sb a drink意為“給某人拿點喝的”，其中drink為可數名詞，指“一杯（一口、一份）飲料”。此處將get換作buy時，即buy sb a drink，指“請某人喝一杯，給某人買一份飲料”。

旅游攻略
雖然乘坐輪船出行的人沒有乘坐火車、飛機的人那么多，但由于其經濟、舒適的優點，還是有不少人選擇乘坐輪船出行。那么，乘坐輪船都需要了解些什么呢？
首先，輪船的艙室一般會根據設施、服務劃分等級；船票分為加快船票和普通船票。另外，輪船上的行李也有限重，不同的船只有不同的規定，一般是每人不超過30kg；辦理行李托運的時候，最好把不同性質的物品進行分類，因為船上的行李托運費是根據不同的種類規定的。最后，如果時間緊的話，選擇交通工具時要謹慎，因為海上的天氣變化無常，輪船到達目的地的時間不會那么準時。
