機場英語

機場英語

 

        假如有一種英語是全球英語 (global English),也就是說,英語用法在世界各國都是統一的,那就是機場環境中出現的英語標誌、電腦螢幕展示航班記錄、告示牌、語音廣播。

因此機場環境中的英語最容易掌握,熟悉一些固定的字彙及句子,便可應付全球機場的出境、搭機、入境、回答移民官的制式問題。個人發現,旅遊需要的機場情境對話,幾乎都用不到了,而學英語需要與人對話所產生的焦慮,也消失不見了。

        本貼文提供的機場英語字彙及語句,同學們只要認識就好,不認識的字,可立刻用線上字典查一查。因此單字不用背,更不需要默寫。同學們下次出國時,別忘了看看機場中出現的英語,您都認識的。
