在国外打车如何与司机尬聊?
在国外旅行,除了乘坐公共交通工具或租车自驾,常常还需要打车!
如果在国外初次打车,碰到如下问题的你是不是一脸蒙圈:如何描述自己的上车位置?
上车后如何与司机尬聊?如何很礼貌地让司机开慢点?如何支付?
一起来学学:在国外,如何用英语打车?
Step 1 首先司机会问你
Where are you going, sir?
先生你要去哪里?
Where to?
去哪?
Step 2 咱们得告诉司机目的地是哪里
Can you take me to the airport, please?
请带我去机场。
Take me to the Carnegie Center, please.
带我去卡内基中心吧。
The Carnegie Center, please.
卡内基中心。
Step 3 接下来司机会回答
Sure. / No problem. / Certainly.
这些词都是表达他很乐意带你去。
如果你运气不好,在欧美也会遇到拒载的:
Sorry, it's rush hour, I don't go to the airport.
抱歉,现在这个时段很拥堵,我不去机场。
Sorry, I don't go there.
抱歉我不去那个地方。
Step 4 加速或减速
Can you make it quick. I'm in a hurry.
你能开快点吗?我很急。
To the train station, and be quick about it, please.
去火车站,请开得快点。
Please hurry.
请开快点。
Slow down, please.
请慢一点。
Sir, there's no need to hurry.
你好,没有必要开这么快。
Step 5 车内和司机对话
Mind if I smoke?
介意我抽烟吗?
Could you turn the heat up?
能把暖气调高点吗?
Could you turn on the AC? It's too hot in here.
车里太热了,能开下空调吗?
Step 6 最关键的一步要付钱了
How much?
多少钱?
That will be 15 dollars.
一共15美金。
Keep the change.
不用找钱了。
Can you break the fifty?
你能破开50块钱吗?
Sorry, I can't. Do you have smaller bills?
我找不开,你有面额更小的钞票吗?
I need a receipt, please.
请给我一张发票。
