４：Explaination (句子解释) 1.
'round-trip' 在美语里作往返旅行讲，往返票除了可以说成 'round trip ticket' 外, 还可以说成 'return ticket'. 也有的人把它说成 'two-way ticket', 虽然它不是非常流行。 2.
'available' 是可以用的意思 ，在这个句子中可以不翻译出来。但在其它的句子里如： \"I need some help with my English. Are you available now?\" （我需要有人来帮帮我的英语， 你现在有时间吗？） 3.
这句话可以放在两个情景来理解，如果你是在旅游出发前到旅游公司去问票的话。
这句话应该翻译成 你打算什么时候回来？如果是你在目的地问他们的话， 便应该翻成 你什么时候回去？不管怎么说，这个 'return' 后面的宾语应该是你旅途的出发点。 4.
乘飞机有很多种票价，所以出外旅行各种机舱的说法一定要会说。 'class' 有很多意思，其中之一是等级，阶级，在这里显然是等级的意思。注意，经济舱虽然也翻译成舱，但英文是 'seat' (座位)。 经济舱一般是最便宜的。上等舱的条件虽然不会经济舱好出多少， 但价格差别很大。 5. 6.
'arrive in' 和 'arrive at' 都是到达的意思 ，但有一定的区别。用 'in' 一般后面是比较大的都市，而 'at' 后面一般是比较小一点的地方。如 'arrive in New York', 'arrive at that inn'. 所以如果说飞机、火车的到达，肯定是用 'in'. 乘出租车、汽车等等，到达饭馆等小地方，才用 'at'. 7.
这句话中的 'give' 是和汉语中的\"给\"是相对应的， 都可以指买的意思。但这句话如果加上一个 \"Could you please...\" 之类的礼貌用语， 效果会更好一些。 8.
\"I want a package deal including airfare and hotel.\" 'Package' 是包装、包裹的意思。'package deal' 是一条龙服务，一揽子服务的意思。外出旅游经常会为各种烦琐的手续而头疼，所以如果有 'package deal' 就会很方便，而且还会便宜很多。'airfare' 是机票的费用。 9.
'on' 后面跟的是时间，一般来讲要具体到天。如果你想具体到某天的某个时间的话， 应该在天的后面用 'at' 来表达。
10. 如果你的旅游计划有什么变化，而你想取消你的票的话。 应该用这句话来表达。当
然了解一下他们的退票的规定不论怎么说都是有用的。
５：Brankground (背景提示)
第一句里的 'round-trip' 是往返，而这里的 'one-way trip' 是单程意思。
You can get much of your information when you're planning your trip. However, very often information concerning ticket availability, special pricing, and special arrangements is only available when you buy your ticket. Departure/arrival times are subject to change, so call the airline, train or bus
station the day before you leave to make sure.
在计划旅行时，你可以尽量多地去找信息。不过很多时候，你所得到的信息都是和票有关。特价和特别的安排只有在你买票时才有。出发和抵达的时间是会随时改变的，所以在出发的前一天最好打电话给航空公司，火车站或公共汽车站确定一下时间。
６：Culture (文化差异)
In the U.S. and Canada, there is no bargaining for the tickets, but for airline tickets, you don't have to; the airlines are doing it for you! Competition is fierce, and you can often find tickets to Europe for a few hundred dollars, or to destinations half-way around the world for less than a thousand dollars!
在美国和加拿 大，买票是不能讨价还价的。如果是买飞机票的话根本就不用，因为航空公司已经为你做了！竞争是激烈的，你经常可以看到去欧洲的票价只有几百美元，或者花不到一千美元就可以绕半个地球。
