Many people miss the airline due to different reasons, so today Miracle Mandarin will give you a situational dialogue, here it is:
Mary:
Nǐhǎo! Wǒ cuòguò le wǒ de hángbān, néng gǎiqiān ma?
你好！我错过了我的航班，能改签吗？
Hi! I just missed my flight. Could you reschedule it?
Clerk:
Kěyǐ, nín xiǎng gǎi dào shénme shíhou?
可以，您想改到什么时候？
Yes, when would you like to reschedule it for?
Mary:
Bǎ wǒ de hángbān gǎi dào míngtiān zhōngwǔ kěyǐ ma?
把我的航班改到明天中午可以吗？
How about changing my flight to tomorrow noon?
Clerk:
Míngtiān zhōngwǔ ma? Ràng wǒ chá yí xià yǒu méiyǒu hángbān hǎo ma?
明天中午吗？让我查一下有没有航班好吗？
That was for tomorrow at noon? Please let me verify flight availability?
Mary:
Hǎode.
好的。
Yes.
Clerk:
Hǎo le, míngtiān zhōngwǔ de hángbān háiyǒu yí ge zuòwèi.
好了，明天中午的航班还有一个座位。
Búguò shì shāngwù cāng, rúguǒ nín yuànyì wǒ jiù gěi nín dìng zhè ge le, méiyǒu éwài shōufèi
不过是商务舱，如果您愿意我就给您订这个了，没有额外收费
dànshì nín lìngwài fù gǎi hángbān de shǒuxù fèi.
但是您得另外付改航班的手续费。
OK, there’s still one seat available on that flight. But it’s in business class.
I can let you have that if you like for no additional charge, but rescheduling costs a little extra.
Mary:
Nà yào duōshao qián ne? Guì ma ?
那要多少钱呢？贵吗？
What’s the charge for rescheduling? It’s not too steep, is it?
Clerk:
Bú tài guì. Èrshí Měiyuán jiù xíng le.
不太贵。二十美元就行了。
Wǒmen xiànzài yǒu le yí ge chéngshì hángkōng jísàn zhàn, zài lái jī chǎng zhīqián nín kěyǐ zài nàr bànlǐ xíngli tuōyùn.
我们现在有了一个城市航空集散站，在来机场之前您可以在那儿办理行李托运。
No, not very. It’s only a $20 charge. And we now have a city terminal so you can check your bags before you get to the airport.
Mary:
Tài hǎo le, xièxie nǐ.
太好了，谢谢你。
That’s great. Thank you.
