phrashes in lesson2.2 of english
Answers
Here are some examples from this lesson where the English translation does not exactly match what is being said in Chinese in lesson 2.2. Wǒ yào mǎi liǎngzhāng qù Běijīng de fēijīpiào。 I would like to book two tickets to Beijing. Should be “I would like to buy two (airline) tickets to Beijing.” This is a minor nit and I don’t really object to using the term book (just not precise). Zhènghǎo yīgè xīngqī yǐhòu huílái。 The return flight is exactly a week later. Should be “Returning exactly one week later.” There is no “flight” mentioned. Fēijīpiào duōshǎo qián? How much is it? Should be “How much are the airline tickets?” Jīngjìcāng。 Economy class please Should be “Economy class.” There is no “please” in the sentence. Also, it would be helpful if some of the vocabulary and phrases (or similar phrases) from this lesson were included in the Extra Vocabulary section. Instead we see the same extra vocabulary words
