  Attendant: And ④what luggage are you checking in today?
  Stephanie: I’ll check this one, thanks. ⑤I’ll take this one on board with me.
  Attendant: ⑥Just pop it up here. Yes, that’s great. Now, you have a two-hour wait in Singapore and then the connecting flight will take you on to Shanghai.

  服务员:您今天是要飞往哪里?
  斯蒂芬妮:回中国。
  服务员:好的。我要看一下您的机票和护照。
  斯蒂芬妮:可以,给你。
  服务员:好的,斯蒂芬妮,事实上我们的电脑出了点小问题,导致我们把您的座位重复安排了。但是,我刚刚纠正了,我们会把您免费调到头等舱。
  斯蒂芬妮:哇,好的。太好了!
  服务员:您今天有行李要托运吗?
  斯蒂芬妮:就这一个,谢谢。另一个我想随身携带。
  服务员:那放在这儿就好了。是的,好了。现在,您要在新加坡停留两个小时,然后转机飞往上海。
  斯蒂芬妮:你能告诉我这些航班的出发和到达时间吗?
  服务员:从纽约到新加坡的航班是上午11点半出发,当天晚上11点半到达。从新加坡到上海的是凌晨1点半出发,早上6点半到达。这是一趟长途旅行。
  斯蒂芬妮:是的。我希望能在飞机上睡一下。回去后我需要几天才能恢复过来。
  服务员:是啊。好的,我正在打印您的登机牌。给您,您的座位是2B。
  斯蒂芬妮:好的。谢谢你。哦,我从哪个登机口登机啊?
  服务员:A23。朝您的左边走。祝您旅途平安。
