Narrator
Hello again. 这可真令人兴奋！经理 Paul 派安娜和 Tom 去法国，希望能拿到一家大客户的塑料水果订单。不过 Tom 想的仅仅是工作吗？

Tom
Really? What… me and Anna… to France?

Paul
Yes, but make sure you get that contract signed. We need the business.

Tom
Yeah, yeah, of course. Are we staying overnight?

Paul
There's no money for that – just get there and come straight back. Oh and could you bring back those nice French biscuits they have in the duty-free shop?

Tom
Sure. So, Anna, we're off on holiday together, are we?

Anna
No! But I've got to book the flights online, can you help me, please?

Tom
Ow, it’s not my thing. I'm sure Denise will help. I need to go and pack for this trip.

Denise
Yes, Marge… in the cupboard… envelopes, apparently… Tom and Anna… oh, here she is… got to go, Marge… bye. Hello, Anna, everything OK?

Anna
Sort of. I've got to go to France with Tom.

Denise
Yes, I know. I thought you'd be pleased to go with Tom, after your time in the stationery cupboard with him!

Anna
I was just finding an envelope, Denise. Anyway, I'm worried about booking the flights online. I usually book flights at a travel agent's.

Denise
It's company policy now, we have to do everything online – even my food shopping – but don’t tell Paul.

Anna
Oh, right. So, where shall I begin?

Denise
Pull up a chair, Anna, and we'll log on. Right, let's start with the British Airlines' website. There. London to Marseille. What is the outbound date?

Anna
Going out tomorrow, back tomorrow.

Denise
Business class or economy class? I think we'll say economy.

Anna
That's cheaper, I guess. What's this mean? Flexible or fixed?

Denise
A flexible ticket means you can change your flight but a fixed one means you can't – and that's cheaper, so we'll choose that one. I'll book you on the 8am flight from Heathrow and flying home at 6pm. I just need to type in your full names now and select your seats. Window or aisle?

Anna
I'll what?

Denise
No, Anna. A seat by the aisle or by the window?

Anna
Oh, an aisle seat please, Denise.

Denise
Good. What's your frequent flyer number?

Anna
Oh, I don't have one of those.

Tom
What's that? Frequent flyer number? Here, I've got a gold status card. Can you stick my number in?

Denise
Gold status! Where did you get that?

Tom
Oh, I've flown loads of times for business. I've done deals all around the world.

Narrator
他才不是呢！花公司的钱到处旅游、晒太阳，可是正事儿没办多少！

Denise
Hmm, really? Right, I just need to pay now… using the company account, of course.

Tom
Cool. Now, what do you think of my sunglasses?

Anna
Lovely, Tom. Denise has booked you a window seat, OK?

Tom
Ahh, no! Sorry, I can't sit by the window… I’m… errr…

Denise
Yes, Tom?

Tom
Well, I mean, it's only polite that the lady sits by the window.

Denise
Really?!

Narrator
这像什么话？但愿他能帮到安娜的忙，可别是倒忙！好吧，让我们再复习一下订机票时会用到的语言。

往返日程是什么？
What's the outbound and return date?

你想要商务舱还是经济舱？
Do you want to fly business or economy?

你想要日期固定的机票还是允许更改日期的机票？
Do you want a fixed or flexible ticket?

你想坐靠窗的位子还是靠走廊的位子？
Would you like a window or aisle seat?

你有飞行常客积分卡吗？
Have you got a frequent flyer number?

Denise
There you go, you two – your e-ticket. Now don't forget your passports.

Tom
Thanks, Denise. Hey, Anna, I'm so pleased that we're on this trip together. It'll be nice to spend some time with you.

Anna
Yes, and to do some business, and really show Paul we are his best employees.

Tom
Yeah, of course… I just wondered…

Anna
Yes?

Tom
Is there any chance I could sit in the aisle seat?

Narrator
我觉得安娜这次行程可能会碰到不少麻烦。不知道旅行到底会怎样？我们下次节目再看看吧！

Anna 想要靠走廊的座位。
