预订餐厅位子

Booking a table 听力 · A1 · A2
约 7 分钟 A1
这课学什么
  • 同一位客人 Jamie 打了两次电话给餐厅 Gino's:第一次订位,第二次改人数、改时间——练的是"电话预订+改预订"这两个连着的真实场景。
  • 数字信息密集:人数、时间(half past seven、eight thirty)、姓名拼写(J-A-M-I-E),是这段听力最容易漏听的地方。
  • 语速接近自然对话,服务生说话比 Jamie 更快、更随口("Let's see..."、"Ah, I see. Sorry!"),适合练"听懂对方犹豫/道歉的语气"。
  • 听完能听懂餐厅订位的整套流程:几个人、几点、名字怎么拼、以及怎么开口"改一下预订"。

Jamie: No, sorry. Can I make it for six people?

Staff: Oh, I see. Sorry! That shouldn't be a problem. I can move you to a bigger table but it will be nearer the kitchen. Is that OK?

哦,明白了,不好意思!这应该没问题,我可以给你换一张大桌子,不过会靠近厨房,可以吗?

听力技巧

  • 数字(人数、时间)是这段对话的核心信息,听到 "How many" 和 "What time" 之后要立刻抓住紧跟着的那个数字,不要被后面的犹豫词("maybe?"、"Let's see...")打断注意力。
  • 姓名拼写(J-A- ...? / M-I-E)是英语打电话订位常见的确认方式,听不懂整串字母时可以先抓开头几个字母,练习跟读字母发音。
  • 第二段对话里 Jamie 澄清 "No, sorry. Can I make it for six people?" ——这种"对方听错了、马上纠正"的对话很常见,留意语气词(No, sorry / Oh, I see)能帮你判断"刚刚是不是有误会"。
