出租车对话可以分为三个部分:上车、目的地和付款。提供完整的街道地址有帮助,但司机通常也需要一个地标或入口。
找到司机
在繁忙的车站或机场,确认车辆前请不要上车。
- “Hi, are you here for Mina?”
- “What is the registration number of your car?”
- “I’m by Exit 4, next to the coffee shop.”
- “I’m wearing a blue jacket and carrying a red suitcase.”
- “I can see your car. I’ll walk over now.”
尽可能使用官方应用或出租车排队,并避免提供不必要的个人信息。
说明目的地
- “Could you take me to this address, please?”
- “I’m going to the Grand Hotel on King Street.”
- “The entrance is on the side road, opposite the station.”
- “Could you drop me at Terminal 2, departures?”
- “Please take me to the main entrance.”
在手机上显示地址可以避免许多发音问题。请确保地址在离线状态下也可用,以防连接断开。
讨论路线
您不需要指挥每一个转弯。如果时间或费用很重要,请提问。
- “About how long will it take?”
- “Is there much traffic at this time?”
- “Could we take the quickest route, please?”
- “Are there any tolls on this route?”
- “I need to arrive by 6:30. Do you think we’ll make it?”
如果您认为车辆走错了路,请先提问:“Sorry, are we heading towards the city centre?” GPS路线可能由于交通或道路封闭而看起来很奇怪。
停靠点和行李
- “Could we make a quick stop at an ATM?”
- “I need to pick up a friend on the way.”
- “Could you wait here for five minutes?”
- “Could you help me with this suitcase?”
- “Please open the boot.”(英国英语)
- “Could you open the trunk?”(美国英语)
请询问是否等待时间或额外停靠点会改变车费。
现实的出租车对话
司机: Where to? 乘客: The Parkside Hotel, please. It’s on Wellington Road. 司机: Do you want the motorway? It’s faster, but there’s a toll. 乘客: How much is the toll? 司机: About four dollars. 乘客: That’s fine. I need to be there by five if possible. 司机: We should make it. 乘客: Great. Could you drop me by the side entrance? That’s where reception is.
支付车费
- “How much is it?”
- “Can I pay by card?”
- “Is the tip included?”
- “Could I have a receipt, please?”
- “Could you add the tip to the card?”
- “I think the app has already charged me. Could you check?”
如果计价器应该运行但没有运行,请尽早询问:“Will you be using the meter?” 当地出租车规则各不相同,因此请在抵达目的地前了解正常的系统。
如果需要结束行程
- “You can stop here, please.”
- “This corner is fine.”
- “Please let me out somewhere safe.”
- “I’ve changed my plans. Could you take me back to the station?”
如果安全是一个问题,请联系当地紧急服务或使用叫车应用中的安全工具。语言练习很有用,但您的首要任务是到达一个安全的地方。
使用地图练习
选择地图上的一个酒店。说明其名称、街道、附近的地标、首选入口和所需的到达时间。然后练习询问交通和收费情况。这比记住长的出租车脚本更有用。
