32、Traveling)的問題，因而，作為從事國際工程的有關(guān)人員就需要學(xué)習(xí)一些旅途用語和了解一些飛行常識，以便順利地到達工程施工所在國。 一般說來，一個項目的人員往往分批而行，由于人多事雜，大家要相互照應(yīng)，注意帶好自己的物品，尤其是護照(Passport)和機票(Ticket)。登機前，要到有關(guān)航空公司的機場服務(wù)臺(Check-in Counter)憑機票和護照領(lǐng)取登機卡(Boarding Card)，并辦理托運行李手續(xù)。注意，在行李標(biāo)簽上一定要填寫清楚你的姓名和將行李托運到的地方，填寫名字時，要注意英語的Given Name是“名”，而Last Name／Family Name／Sur

33、name則指的是“姓”，以免取行李時遇到麻煩。航空公司對免費托運的行李重量有一定的限額(baggage allowance)，一般為七十磅(約為三十二公斤)，超重的部分要繳納托運費，而且費用很高，所以，登機前要問清楚，盡可能避免超重。另外，對每件行李的重量也有限制。 在飛機上，用餐是免費的，飲料一般也是免費的，但有些航班對供應(yīng)的各種不含酒精的飲料(Soft Drinks)不收費，對供應(yīng)的啤酒(Beer)卻是收費的。要喝啤酒，可要做好空中小姐(stewardess／Air Hostess向你“one dollar，please．”(請付一美元．)的準(zhǔn)備喲。在到達目的地前，機上服務(wù)人員就

34、會發(fā)給你兩張表格，一張是旅客入境卡(Landing Card)和另一張是海關(guān)申報單(Customs Statement)。在每座位靠背后的袋子里一般都有旅客須知之類的小冊子(Brochure)，里面有告訴旅客怎樣填寫的說明和范例，可供你參考。下飛機后，你得先到機場移民局，交上旅客人境卡，移民局官員在檢查你的護照和簽證并詢問一些問題之后，若沒發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，就會讓你人境。接下來你需要到領(lǐng)取行李處(Baggage Claim Area)領(lǐng)取行李。最后再到海關(guān)(Customs)交上海關(guān)申報單，辦理人關(guān)手續(xù)。 如果你是過境(in transit)，在過境國短暫停留幾天后，還須換機(Change Plane

35、s)向工程實施所在國繼續(xù)飛行。到機場候機大廳后，若所乘航班辦理登機手續(xù)的服務(wù)臺不好找，可向機場內(nèi)的工作人員詢問，他們將會很樂意地給予幫助。在得到人家的幫助之后，可別忘了說一句“Thank you．”呀。 Mar/18/2008 UNIT 2 SETTLING DOWN After such a long-distance international flight, the construction crew has finally arrived
