旅游英语第十三课：导游 The Tour Guide|佛山英语培训

第十三课: 导游
Lesson 13: The Tour Guide

在这一课中您可以进一步扩展我们曾经学过的一些句型，如“ Can I help you?”有什么可以为您效劳的吗？以及如何向客人做出建议等，同时我们还要学习如何比较委婉地提出自己的见解。这段新对话的情景是蒙纳女士和她的父亲怀特先生想要找一个导游，所以他们就请酒店的服务员利奥提出一些建议。现在就让我们一起来听听这段对话的第一部份。

Leo: Ms White, Mr Webber. How can I help you this afternoon?
Jack: Hi Leo. We’re after a tour guide.
Mona: Yes, Leo. We want to make the most of our last day. Can you
recommend a good tour guide?
Leo: I can recommend Five Star Tours. They’re very popular.
Mona: We don’t want a group though, Leo. We want a private tour guide.
Leo: Well, there’s someone I know of. He’s the best in the business. You’ll need him tomorrow?
Mona: Yes.
Leo: I’ll see if he’s available.
Leo: Excuse me for just a minute.

让我们再听一遍这段对话以及中文翻译
利奥: 怀特女士，伟博先生，今天下午有什么我可以为您效劳的吗？
Leo: Ms White, Mr Webber. How can I help you this afternoon?
杰克:   利奥，你好。我们想找一名导游。
Jack: Hi Leo. We’re after a tour guide.
蒙纳: 是呀，利奥。我们想好好地利用我们在此地停留的最后一天。你可以推荐一名优秀的导游吗？
Mona: Yes, Leo. We want to make the most of our last day. Can you recommend a good tour guide?
利奥:   我可以向您推荐五星级旅行团行程。它们很受欢迎。
Leo: I can recommend Five Star Tours. They’re very popular.
蒙纳: 不过，利奥，我们不想加入旅行团。我们想找一名私人导游。
Mona: We don’t want a group though, Leo. We want a private tour guide.
利奥: 哦，是这样。我认识一个人，他是这个行业中的佼佼者。您是说想明天雇用他吗？
Leo: Well, there’s someone I know of. He’s the best in the business. You’ll need him tomorrow?
蒙纳:   是的。
Mona: Yes.
利奥:   让我看看他明天是否有时间。请您等一下。
Leo: I’ll see if he’s available. Excuse me for just a minute.

请注意利奥在这段对话中是如何与客人打招呼的。
利奥: 怀特女士，伟博先生，今天下午有什么我可以为您效劳的吗？
Leo: Ms White, Mr Webber. How can I help you this afternoon?
在以前的对话中我们学习了 Can I help you? 这句话，意思是:我能为您作些什么吗？有什么可以效劳的吗？在这段对话中，利奥知道当怀特女士和伟博先生走向他时是要向他求助，所以利奥就说 How can I help you? 而且由于对话发生的时间是下午，因此利奥在句子的末尾又加上了 this afternoon 这个时间状语。请跟着老师一起练习这句话。
How can I help you?
How can I help you?
How can I help you today?
How can I help you this morning?
How can I help you this afternoon?
How can I help you this evening?

现在让我们来听听利奥是如何向客人推荐旅行团及导游的吧。
利奥:   我可以向您推荐五星级旅行团行程。
Leo: I can recommend Five Star Tours.
利奥:   它们很受欢迎。
Leo: They’re very popular.
利奥:   他是这个行业中的佼佼者。
Leo: He’s the best in the business.
请跟着老师重复下列句子。
I can recommend.
I can recommend Five Star Tours.
They’re very popular.
He’s the best in the business.

接下来让我们听听利奥在请客人稍等一下时是怎么说的
利奥: 请您等一下。
Leo: Excuse me for just a minute.
请再听一遍并跟着重复
Excuse me for just a minute.
Excuse me for just a minute.

我们再听一遍这段对话的前半部份，请重复利奥的句子。
Leo: Ms White, Mr Webber. How can I help you this afternoon?
Jack: Hi Leo. We’re after a tour guide.
Mona: Yes, Leo. We want to make the most of our last day. Can you recommend a good tour guide?
Leo: I can recommend Five Star Tours. They’re very popular.
Mona: We don’t want a group though, Leo. We want a private tour guide.
Leo: Well, there’s someone I know of. He’s the best in the business.
You’ll need him tomorrow?
Mona: Yes.
Leo: I’ll see if he’s available.
Leo: Excuse me for just a minute.

第十三课: 导游
Lesson Thirteen: The Tour Guide

我们现在学习这段对话的后半部份，请您特别注意这段对话中出现的一些新词汇及表达方式。
Leo: You’re in luck.
Leo: He is available tomorrow.
Jack: Excellent. When can we speak with him?
Leo: He can meet you today if you like.
Jack: Fine. What time?
Leo: 3 o’clock.
Leo: He said he can meet you here in the lobby.
Mona: What’s his name, Leo?
Leo: Mr Le.
Jack: Thanks, Leo.
Leo: My pleasure.

让我们再听一遍这段对话及中文翻译
利奥:   你们很幸运，他明天有空。
Leo: You’re in luck. He is available tomorrow.
杰克:   太好了，我们什么时候可以与他见面？
Jack: Excellent. When can we speak with him?
利奥:   如果你们愿意的话，他今天就可以来见你们。
Leo: He can meet you today if you like.
杰克:   可以呀，什么时间？
Jack: Fine. What time?
利奥:   三点。他说他可以在酒店大堂与你们会面。
Leo: 3 o’clock. He said he can meet you here in the lobby.
蒙纳:   他叫什么名字啊，利奥？
Mona: What’s his name, Leo?
利奥:   他姓乐。
Leo: Mr Le.
杰克:   谢谢你，利奥。
Jack: Thanks, Leo.
利奥:   不客气。
Leo: My pleasure.
请听录音
利奥:   如果你们愿意的话，他今天就可以来见你们。
Leo: He can meet you today if you like.
If you like…如果你们愿意的话。这是一个非常有用的短语，如果你在提出建议时使用这个短语，听起来语气就会比较客气与委婉。

请注意听并跟着重复。
He can meet you today if you like.
If you like, he can meet you today.
You can take a cab if you like.
If you like, you can take a cab.

今天我们要学习的另外一个内容就是如何用英语表达时间。您注意到了吗，利奥在对话中表达时间时说 three o’clock 三点钟。其实他还可以简单地说 three，比如 I‘ll see you at three, 我三点钟时和你会面。现在我们跟着老师一起来练习一些英语中表达时间的常用说法。请注意听不同的英语表示方法，并在每一句英语录音后跟着重复。
我三点钟和你会面。
I’ll see you at three o’clock.
我三点钟和你会面。
I’ll see you at three.
我三点三十分时和你会面。
I’ll see you at three-thirty.
我三点半时和你会面。
I’ll see you at half past three
我三点十五分时和你会面。
I’ll see you at three fifteen.
我三点一刻时和你会面。
I’ll see you at a quarter past three
我两点四十五分时和你会面。
I’ll see you at a quarter to three.

让我们再听一遍这段对话的第二部份，请在利奥的句子之后跟着重复。
Leo: You’re in luck.
Leo: He is available tomorrow.
Jack: Excellent. When can we speak with him?
Leo: He can meet you today if you like.
Jack: Fine. What time?
Leo: 3 o’clock.
Leo: He said he can meet you here in the lobby.
Mona: What’s his name, Leo?
