玉玲在机场接一位客户
珍妮:玉玲!很高兴认识你!
玉玲:真高兴可以带妳逛逛我住的城市。
珍妮:真可惜这次的商务会议只有三天。
玉玲:妳就只有这一个旅行袋吗?
珍妮:是的,我搭飞机一向讲求轻便。我只带了一个随身行李。
玉玲:那我们招辆出租车去妳的饭店吧。
珍妮:(叹气)又要坐了。好吧。
玉玲:(招下出租车)别担心,我们一下子就会到了。
重点解说:
★ airport (n.) 机场
★ bag (n.) 旅行袋。‘行李’是luggage ,会随身带上飞机的‘随身行李’则称做carry-on luggage
★ light (adv.) 轻装地。fly light是指‘轻装飞行’
★ sigh (v.) 叹气
★ flag down 挥手(把车)拦下
★ in a jiffy 很快地
