“旅游業(yè)英語”
English for Tourism
第十四課: 導游
Lesson 14: The Tour Guide
各位聽眾朋友好。歡迎您收聽“旅游業(yè)英語”的第十四講。我是澳大利亞澳洲廣播電臺中文部的節(jié)目主持人馬健媛。
在第十三講中我們復(fù)習了一些非常有用的句型并學習了表示時間的一些不同說法。在這一課中,我們要學習有關(guān)自我介紹的正式及非正式說法,服務(wù)業(yè)中一些職務(wù)的英語名稱及如何說服或取信于你的顧客。在這一課的情景對話中,蒙納女士和懷特先生與利奧推薦的導游見了面。
Leo: Good afternoon.
Mona: Hi Leo. Why are you wearing a different uniform? And where is Mr Le?
Leo: Let me introduce myself. I am Mr Le. Your tour guide.
Jack: Leo, you’re a tour guide?
Mona: But you’re the hotel receptionist!
Leo: I also work for Five Star Tours.
Mona: I don’t understand.
Leo: Please let me explain. I’m saving up to study hotel management in Australia. So I work for Five Star Tours in my spare time.
讓我們再聽一遍對話的內(nèi)容。我會在每句話之后將句子翻譯成中文。
利奧: 下午好。
Leo: Good afternoon.
蒙納: 你好,利奧。你怎么穿了一身不同的制服呢?樂先生在哪里呀?
Mona: Hi Leo. Why are you wearing a different uniform? And where is Mr Le?
利奧: 讓我自我介紹一下。我就是樂先生,你們的導游。
Leo: Let me introduce myself. I am Mr Le. Your tour guide.
杰克: 利奧,你怎么變成了導游呢?
Jack: Leo, you’re a tour guide?
蒙納: 你不是酒店前臺的接待員嗎?
Mona: But you’re the hotel receptionist!
利奧: 我同時也為五星旅游公司工作。
Leo: I also work for Five Star Tours.
蒙納: 我真不明白這是怎么回事。
Mona: I don’t understand.
利奧: 請聽我的解釋。我現(xiàn)在正為了到澳大利亞學習酒店管理專業(yè)而存錢,所以我業(yè)余時間還為五星旅游公司打工。
Leo: Please let me explain. I’m saving up to study hotel management in Australia. So I work for Five Star Tours in my spare time.
您注意到利奧在做自我介紹時是怎么說的嗎?
利奧: 讓我自我介紹一下。我就是樂先生,你們的導游。
Leo: Let me introduce myself. I am Mr Le. Your tour guide.
Let me introduce myself 是英語中自我介紹時比較正式的一種說法,而比較隨意的一種說法就是直接說出自己的姓名或者身份,例如: “I am Leo, your tour guide”. 請注意聽錄音并跟著重復(fù)。
Let me introduce myself. I’m Leo. Your tour guide.
Eng: I’m Joe. Your driver.
Eng: I’m Emma. The Cashier.
Eng: I’m Ellia. Your interpreter.
讓我們再聽一遍這部份對話。在利奧的講話之后會給您留出時間,讓您重復(fù)他的句子。
Leo: Good afternoon.
Mona: Hi Leo. Why are you wearing a different uniform? And where is Mr Le?
Leo: Let me introduce myself. I am Mr Le. Your tour guide.
Jack: Leo, you’re a tour guide?
Mona: But you’re the hotel receptionist!
Leo: I also work for Five Star Tours.
Mona: I don’t understand.
Leo: Please let me explain. I’m saving up to study hotel management in Australia. So I work for Five Star Tours in my spare time.
各位聽眾朋友,您現(xiàn)在收聽的是澳大利亞澳洲廣播電臺為您制作的“旅游業(yè)英語”教程節(jié)目。
第十四課: 導游
Lesson 14: The Tour Guide
接下來我們學習對話的后半部份,首先讓我們來聽聽利奧是如何向客人們介紹他自己做導游的資歷的。
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification, and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
Mona: But…
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide… Wouldn’t we, Mona?
Mona: I suppose so.
Leo: Thank you Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Call me Jack.
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge. I have some brochures to show you.
我們再聽一遍這段對話,我會在每一句話之后把句子翻譯成中文。
蒙納: 我還是不太明白這是怎么回事。
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
利奧: 我向您保證,懷特女士,我有導游資歷證書,而且我在這個行當里已經(jīng)工作了七年了。
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification, and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
蒙納: 可是。。。。
Mona: But…
利奧: 我知道這個城市中所有最好的旅游路線。
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!
杰克: 我相信你,利奧。我們也非常高興你做我們的導游,是不是這樣啊,蒙納?
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide…Wouldn’t we, Mona?
蒙納: 我想是吧。
Mona: I suppose so.
利奧: 謝謝你們,蒙納女士和懷特先生。
Leo: Thank you. Ms White, Mr Webber.
杰克: 你就叫我杰克好了。
Jack: Call me Jack.
利奧: 謝謝您,杰克。好吧,現(xiàn)在請你們跟我一起到那邊的客廳去,我想給你們看一些小冊子。
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge. I have some brochures to show you.
讓我們一起來聽聽利奧是如何說服蒙納女士的。
利奧: 我向您保證,懷特女士。
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White.
利奧: 我有導游資歷證書,
Leo: I have a tourism qualification…
利奧: 而且我在這個行當里已經(jīng)工作七年了。
Leo: …and I’ve been doing this job for seven years.
當你要說服某人或者要取信于某人時,Let me assure you 是一個非常有用的句型。但是要特別注意的是這個句型并不可以獨立使用,它必須要和一個說明性的從句合在一起才能構(gòu)成一個完整的句子。請注意聽下面給出的中文句子及其英語翻譯。
我向你保證,今天的魚很新鮮。
Let me assure you, the fish is fresh today.
你放心,我們已經(jīng)通知警察了。
Let me assure you, the police have been called.
請聽下面的對話內(nèi)容。
利奧: 好吧,現(xiàn)在請你們跟我一起到那邊的客廳去。
Leo: Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
您注意到 if you’ll just follow me 這句話了嗎?在第十二課中,商店的售貨員在帶領(lǐng)蒙納去收款臺時就用了這個句型?,F(xiàn)在利奧在請蒙納和懷特去客廳時也使用了這個句型。讓我們一起來練習,請注意聽錄音并跟著重復(fù)。
If you’ll just follow me.
If you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
If you’ll just follow me to the cashier.
讓我們再來聽一遍這段對話的最后一部分,請在利奧的話之后跟著重復(fù)。
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification, and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
Mona: But…
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide… Wouldn’t we, Mona?
Mona: I suppose so.
Leo: Thank you Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Call me Jack.
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge. I have some brochures to show you.
現(xiàn)在讓我們完整地聽一遍我們在第十三課和第十四課中學習的對話內(nèi)容。
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.
