出国旅行飞机落地的关,就是经过移民局和海关的检查,而且各大国际机场的移民局和海关官员有权取消你的有效签证,限制入境!
为了避免不必要的麻烦,永康出国英语告诉你,在旅行前应该对目的地国做一些必要的功课!
下面是我们在通过移民局和海关时需要走的流程和经常被问到的问题:
Conversation #1 – Going through Immigration & Customs
Leo is flying from China to Canada. Listen to his conversation with the immigration officer when he arrives.
Officer: Welcome to Canada. Can I see your passport and immigration form(入境卡), please?
Leo: Here you go.
Officer: Where are you coming from?
Leo: China.
Officer: What is the purpose of your visit?
Leo: Tourism.
Officer: Have you ever been to Canada before?
Leo: No, this is my first time.
Officer: How long are you planning to stay?
Leo: Two weeks.
Officer: Where will you be staying?
Leo: At the Grand Hotel in Toronto.
Officer: Welcome to Canada – enjoy your visit.
Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases
On the airplane, you will receive two forms – an immigration form and a customs form. On the immigration form, you write information about when you are arriving in and leaving the country. You need to write with a blue or black pen.
在飞机上,空乘人员会发给你两个卡(入境卡和入关卡)
入境卡主要是关于你何时到达和离开这个的有关信息,需要用蓝色或笔填写
The customs form asks about the things you are bringing into the country – for example, if you are bringing any fruits, vegetables, plants, insects, meats, animals, or items to sell, because these things may need to be examined by the agents to see if they can enter the country. You’ll learn some phrases for customs in the next section of the lesson.
入关卡主要会询问你携带了那些东西入境。例如食物,现金,烟酒,药物等等。
每个对所携带入境物品有严格限制,一定要了解清楚。
如果对一些物品不确定,好打勾,海关人员在检查确定后决定是否可以入境。(这样做会比虚隐瞒被发现带来的麻烦少的多得多,并且你的诚实度会被认可)

Conversation #2 – Missed connection
Ben was traveling from Argentina to Canada, but his flight was delayed and he missed his connection. Listen to the dialogues as he tries to get on a different flight.
Ben: Excuse me, is this the gate for flight 1388 to Toronto?
Agent: I’m sorry, but the flight left just a couple minutes ago.
Ben: Ah… what should I do now?
Agent: Go to the Global Airlines check-in desk and ask them to put you on the next available flight.
(at the check-in desk)
Ben: Hi. My flight from Buenos Aires was delayed and I missed my connection to Toronto. When’s the next available flight?
Agent: Let me see… the 7:20 flight is full, but there’s another one at 10:10.
Ben: That’ll be fine.
Agent: Your passport, please… would you like a window or an aisle seat?
Ben: A window seat.
Agent: All right – you’ll be departing from gate 28B in Terminal 4, and your seat number is 5A.
Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases
Ben says “When’s the next available flight?” to ask about the schedule. Here are some other questions you can ask if you’ve missed a flight:
· “What time does it arrive in (destination)?”
· “Can I have a window/ an aisle seat?”
· “Can I have a hotel/meal voucher?” (if you will need to wait a long time, or overnight, for the next flight, then the airline may give you vouchers – free credits for buying food or staying in a hotel)
This is row 26 in the airplane. 26A is the window seat, and 26C is the aisle seat.
旅行中大家不愿意发生但是有时又不得不面对的问题—丢失行李
Conversation #3 – Lost Luggage
When Ben gets to Toronto, he waits at the baggage claim for a long time, but his bags don’t appear. He’ll need to report his lost luggage.
Ben: I think my luggage is lost – I’ve been waiting at the baggage claim for over an hour and it hasn’t come out yet.
Agent: What’s your flight number?
Ben: Well, I was supposed to come in on flight 1388 from Buenos Aires via Mexico City, but I missed the connection, so I ended up on flight 973 instead.
Agent: OK – can you describe your luggage?
Ben: There’s one black suitcase with wheels, and one dark blue duffel bag. Both have tags with my name on them.
Agent: Please fill out this form with your contact information and the name and address of your hotel, and we’ll get in touch as soon as we find your luggage.
Ben: How long does it usually take?
Agent: Hopefully less than 24 hours.
Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases:
· The baggage claim is the place where you pick up your luggage after arriving in the destination airport
· End up is a phrasal verb used to talk about the final result of a situation (especially if the result was different from what was expected or planned)
· Luggage is the general name for the bags you bring while traveling.
Practice pronouncing these phrases about travel problems:
· "My luggage is lost."
· “My luggage was damaged.”
· "I missed my connection."
· "My flight was delayed."
· "My flight was canceled."
· “My flight was overbooked, so I was bumped to a later one.”
overbooked(超额定出) = the airline sold too many tickets, and there is not enough space on the plane for all the people who have purchased tickets. Some of the people will be bumped to a later flight – they have to wait for a different flight later
