Нет. Регистрация обычно проходит быстро. |
|
Пять минут и мы уже у стойки. |
Rachel: |
Oh, it's already our turn. |
Дежурный |
Это Ваш багаж, мэм? |
по посадке: |
|
Rachel: |
Yes. |
Дежурный |
Здесь небольшой перевес. Вам нужно будет |
по посадке: |
внести дополнительную плату за него. Можно |
|
мне взглянуть на Вашу ручную кладь? |
Рэйчел: |
Вот она. |
Дежурный |
Учтите, что жидкие и острые предметы с |
по посадке: |
собой проносить нельзя. Они запрещены на |
|
борту. Сэр, а у Вас есть ручная кладь? |
Энди: |
Нет, всего лишь мой ноутбук. Вот наши |
|
электронные билеты и паспорта. |
Дежурный |
Вы хотели бы места у окна или на проходе? |
по посадке: |
|
Andy: |
Window seat would be better. |
Дежурный |
Вот, держите. Точное время вылета и выход |
по посадке: |
на посадку указаны в билетах. |
Rachel: |
Thank you! |
Энди: |
А теперь нам нужно пройти паспортный контроль. |
|
Он на втором этаже. |
Таможенный |
Могу ли я взглянуть на Ваш паспорт, мэм? |
офицер: |
|
Rachel: |
Yes, of course. Here it is. |

Таможенный офицер: Какова цель Вашего визита?
Рэйчел: Я – турист. Я еду на пляжный отдых, а также хочу посмотреть на достопримечательности Тайланда.
Таможенный офицер: Как долго Вы намерены пробыть там?
Rachel: |
Just for a couple of weeks. |
Таможенный офицер: Хорошо. Это Ваш первый визит в Тайланд?
Rachel: |
Yes, and my first time at the airport too. |
Таможенный офицер: В таком случае удачной Вам поездки!
Rachel: Thanks!
Энди: Ну, как все прошло?
Rachel: |
It was quick and easy. What's next? |
Энди: Мы уже на полпути. Теперь нам нужно просто пройти через специальный коридор, где офицеры проверяют ручную кладь. После этой процедуры мы попадем в зал вылета, где сможем перекусить или просто отдохнуть перед полетом.
Рэйчел: Отлично! Я бы хотела выпить горячего чая и почитать свою новую книжку.
