写出文中划线部分缺少的句子即可,一句一段(注意句首大小写问题,每段最后不用加标点)。让我们开始今天的内容吧
Mom: So what happened? Did they let you get on the plane?
Todd: No, __________________________________. But that flight wasn't until the next morning, so I had to stay the night in a lousy hotel.
Dad: Wow, that sounds terrible. _____________________?
Todd: Well, they gave me a voucher for a free flight.
Mom: Well that's not so bad! _________________________.
航空公司"bumped" Todd to the next flight,是不是安排他坐下一班飞机?
Professor: Exactly. The word "bump" is a casual way to say "move or "transfer." For example, "____________________________________."
哦,这么说Todd因祸得福,虽然被迫在一个破酒店过夜,但却得到了一张voucher, 机票代金券!
Dad: So where are you going to go with your free ticket? What about Hawaii?
Todd: No, _____________________________.
Mom: Well what about Florida? It's warm and sunny there too.
Todd: Actually, after this experience, I don't think I want to fly anywhere ever again.
Professor, 机票代金券只能飞the continental United States是什么意思呢?
Professor: ______________________________________.
哦,所以continental United States指美国大陆,是除了阿拉斯加和夏威夷以外的美国各州。那也不错啦!
Professor: Well, apparently Todd is not interested in flying ever again.
可他几天后还要坐飞机回洛杉矶啊?看来我们只能祝他下次旅途比这次顺利喽!the plane was already full, so they bumped me to the next flight
Did they compensate you in some way
For one night of inconvenience, you can visit anywhere you want for free
I was originally sitting in the economy cabin, but since I had lots of frequent flier miles the airline bumped me up to first class
the airline says I can only use it in the continental United States
The continental United States are all the US states except for Alaska and Hawaii. Sometimes they are called the contiguous United States |
