Unit 12 Flight Departures and Arrivals
第十二单元 航班时刻表
导 读
从课文的题目Dialogues A：Your plane will take off soon，B: Flight 620 is now boarding，Passage: Air Travel可以看出在本课中我们要学习航班时刻等关于乘飞机旅行的表达法。语法我们重点掌握名词的数的概念。
译 文
对话一 您乘坐的飞机就要起飞了
在北京观光游览一个月后，杰克要离开北京去美国了。他的中国朋友小林要去机场送他。这会儿小林正帮着杰克收拾行装。
林：你的飞机中午12点半起飞，是吗？
杰克：是啊。怎么了？
林：我的表已经是11点差5分了。我们得快一点儿, 因为你得在午前11点办理登机手续。
杰克：11点半？那得赶紧了。现在一分钟也耽误不得。(在去机场的路上。)
林：你乘坐的飞机什么时候到旧金山？
杰克：当地时间14号上午8点半。
对话二 第620次航班现在登机
一群欧洲旅客正在一位中国导游的陪同下旅游观光。
导游：看来这趟航班误点了。应该2点10分起飞，现在已经2点20了。等等，正广播的就是我们的班机：第620次去桂林的航班现在开始从五号登机口登机。
一游客：天呐，我的登机牌哪儿去了？
导游：别慌，史密斯太太，我想它就在你口袋里。别担心，旅行会一帆风顺的。女士们先生们，现在请拿好登机牌跟我去五号登机口，大家走吧。
短文 航空旅行
航空旅行对于时间紧迫的人来说特别适宜，因为它非常方便。飞机能很快把乘客送往世界各地。我经常乘飞机旅行。
几天前我到巴黎去出差。旅程紧迫，所以我是坐飞机去的。我乘坐航空公司的专门客车到了机场。在机场我看到一架大飞机在等候我们。我们上了飞机，12点飞机准点平稳起飞。不久，就飞到了海洋的上空。很快我们就看到了法国海岸。没过多久我们就到达了目的地。飞行员将飞机稳稳着陆后，我们走下飞机。
Main points of the text
Dialogue A
1. Jack is leaving for the States after a month’s sightseeing in Beijing.
在北京观光游览一个月后，杰克要离开北京去美国了。
这句话是用进行时表将来。
leave for 意为“离开这儿去…”。不要误解为“离开…”。
2. is Chinese friend Lin will see him off at the airport
他的中国朋友小林要去机场送他。
see sb. off是“给某人送行”。那么“到机场去接某人”如何表达呢？
3. Your plane takes off at 12:30 p.m., doesn’t it?
你的飞机中午12点半起飞，是吗？
这是反意疑问句，也叫附加疑问句，有时表示怀疑，有时纯为加强语气不需要对方回答。由陈述句加反意疑问结尾构成，这两部分或前否定后肯定，或前肯定后否定。读时陈述句用降调，反意疑问部分表示怀疑用升调，有把握时用降调。注意回答反意疑问句时同学们容易犯一个错误，即你的Yes或No不是基于事实，而是按照咱们汉语的习惯表达对提问者观点的肯定或否定。例如：
— You aren’t a student, are you? (事实是你是一个学生)
— No, I’m not. (说No本来是想否定对方的You aren’t a student, 结果却把自己是学生这个事实给否了。应该回答：Yes, I am.)
Dialogue B
1. travel under a Chinese guide 和第四行的announce over the loudspeaker
注意所用的介词。建议你对其做一标记。我对值得注意的介词都用笔圈上。读书做记号可是传统有效的学习方法。每个人都应该有自己的一套学习符号系统。
2. There seems to be some delay. delay是不可数名词，故有seems。
3. Our plane is supposed to leave at 2：10.
be supposed to 被期待或要求；应该
eg. The children are not supposed to eat only fruits and vegetables.孩子们不能光吃水果和蔬菜。
suppose 意为“设想”。对别人的观点表示赞同可以说 I suppose so.
4. Where did I put my boarding pass? 一般过去时。
5. Now ladies and gentlemen, would you please hold your boarding pass and follow me to Gate 5? 女士们先生们，现在请拿好登机牌跟我去五号登机口。
hold “握，持”。前面第五课我们学过holder“持有者”。
Passage
1. Air travel is popular for people (who are in a hurry because it’s very convenient.
2. The trip was urgent. 这句话里隐藏着一个词组an/the urgent trip，请同学们找出来。
3. passage para. 2第二段中的不规则动词变化形式：
所在行次 原形 过去式 过去分词
1 have had had
2 go went gone
3 see saw seen
4 take took taken
6 make made made
