语言剖析

1. Morning, David, how was your trip?
check in 一般指的是机场办理登记手续,在酒店的话也可以表示登记入住。这种问候很简单,也很自然,morning相对good morning更加亲近,how’s your trip?出差顺利吗?How’s your ...是一种非常自然的打开问候的方式,通常继续上一次的话题,比如上周你们聊到你的老外朋友要参加一个真人秀节目,那这周再次碰到的时候就可以以Morning,how was your show?来问候对方,通常老外会用good来回答,表示还不错,还可以,挺好的。

lag
Jet lag是时差的意思,这是一个专门的表达,所以我们平常编出来的time difference是错误的,老外是听不懂的哈!
我现在还在时差中可以说I have/feel jet lag. 倒时差叫做,get over the jet lag
For example,I can't go to the party tonight: I'm still not over the jet lag.我今晚没法去聚会了,因为我还在倒时差。

y
sorry可能是你在英语中学到的第一个单词。很多时候sorry仅仅是道歉,但是通常我们说sorry不是因为我们做错了某事,而是表示你明白某人心情不好,或者只是安慰某人。

4. At least the flight wasn’t canceled.
At least the flight wasn't canceled. 至少航班没有取消
取消和别人之间的约定也可以用cancel来表示,今天小E老师突然得了重感冒,不能给大家上课了,所以对助教老师Annie小姐姐说Please call the students and tell them that class tonight is cancelled.请给学生们打电话说今晚的课取消了。

5. Take it easy.
Take it easy.. 放松,休息,别过分劳累
The doctor told me to take it easy for a weeks.
医生叫我休息几周。
