32、Traveling)的問(wèn)題，因而，作為從事國(guó)際工程的有關(guān)人員就需要學(xué)習(xí)一些旅途用語(yǔ)和了解一些飛行常識(shí)，以便順利地到達(dá)工程施工所在國(guó)。 一般說(shuō)來(lái)，一個(gè)項(xiàng)目的人員往往分批而行，由于人多事雜，大家要相互照應(yīng)，注意帶好自己的物品，尤其是護(hù)照(Passport)和機(jī)票(Ticket)。登機(jī)前，要到有關(guān)航空公司的機(jī)場(chǎng)服務(wù)臺(tái)(Check-in Counter)憑機(jī)票和護(hù)照領(lǐng)取登機(jī)卡(Boarding Card)，并辦理托運(yùn)行李手續(xù)。注意，在行李標(biāo)簽上一定要填寫清楚你的姓名和將行李托運(yùn)到的地方，填寫名字時(shí)，要注意英語(yǔ)的Given Name是“名”，而Last Name／Family Name／Sur

33、name則指的是“姓”，以免取行李時(shí)遇到麻煩。航空公司對(duì)免費(fèi)托運(yùn)的行李重量有一定的限額(baggage allowance)，一般為七十磅(約為三十二公斤)，超重的部分要繳納托運(yùn)費(fèi)，而且費(fèi)用很高，所以，登機(jī)前要問(wèn)清楚，盡可能避免超重。另外，對(duì)每件行李的重量也有限制。 在飛機(jī)上，用餐是免費(fèi)的，飲料一般也是免費(fèi)的，但有些航班對(duì)供應(yīng)的各種不含酒精的飲料(Soft Drinks)不收費(fèi)，對(duì)供應(yīng)的啤酒(Beer)卻是收費(fèi)的。要喝啤酒，可要做好空中小姐(stewardess／Air Hostess向你“one dollar，please．”(請(qǐng)付一美元．)的準(zhǔn)備喲。在到達(dá)目的地前，機(jī)上服務(wù)人員就

34、會(huì)發(fā)給你兩張表格，一張是旅客入境卡(Landing Card)和另一張是海關(guān)申報(bào)單(Customs Statement)。在每座位靠背后的袋子里一般都有旅客須知之類的小冊(cè)子(Brochure)，里面有告訴旅客怎樣填寫的說(shuō)明和范例，可供你參考。下飛機(jī)后，你得先到機(jī)場(chǎng)移民局，交上旅客人境卡，移民局官員在檢查你的護(hù)照和簽證并詢問(wèn)一些問(wèn)題之后，若沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題，就會(huì)讓你人境。接下來(lái)你需要到領(lǐng)取行李處(Baggage Claim Area)領(lǐng)取行李。最后再到海關(guān)(Customs)交上海關(guān)申報(bào)單，辦理人關(guān)手續(xù)。 如果你是過(guò)境(in transit)，在過(guò)境國(guó)短暫停留幾天后，還須換機(jī)(Change Plane

35、s)向工程實(shí)施所在國(guó)繼續(xù)飛行。到機(jī)場(chǎng)候機(jī)大廳后，若所乘航班辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)的服務(wù)臺(tái)不好找，可向機(jī)場(chǎng)內(nèi)的工作人員詢問(wèn)，他們將會(huì)很樂(lè)意地給予幫助。在得到人家的幫助之后，可別忘了說(shuō)一句“Thank you．”呀。 Mar/18/2008 UNIT 2 SETTLING DOWN After such a long-distance international flight, the construction crew has finally arrived
