Todd聖誕節要回阿拉斯加看望父母，他正在機場過安檢。

Professor: In this first part, an airport security guard is telling Todd what to do before he goes through the metal detector and puts his bags through the x-ray machine.

Metal detector金屬探測器，我最討厭在機場過這個東西，每次都要脫鞋，解腰帶，煩死了!

Professor: Well I agree that it's annoying, but aren't you glad the metal detectors keep you safe?

這倒也是，Professor Bowman, 為了安全起見，我們隻好作些犧牲了。

Security guard: Excuse me sir! Please make sure to take off your shoes, jacket and belt and put them through the x-ray machine.

Todd: OK, just a moment ... Alright, there you go.

Security guard: Hmm ... the X-ray machine is showing some strange things in your bag. I'll have to search it.

Todd: Sure, go ahead. I don't have any dangerous items on me.

Professor Bowman, Todd說 "I don't have any dangerous items on me", 就是說自己身上沒有危險物品吧？

Professor: That's right. A policeman might ask if you have any weapons on you, or a friend might ask if you have any money on you that he could borrow.

Todd最好沒有隨身帶什麽違禁物品。

Professor: I hope so too. Let's listen and find out.

Security guard: Sir! Have these bags been in your possession at all times?

Todd: Yes, I've had them in my sight since I packed them.

Security guard: I see ... (he looks through Todd's bag.) And what is this??? You didn't think you could get on the plane with such a dangerous item, did you?

Todd: It's just a bottle of water.

Security guard: Don't you know people can make bombs out of liquid? You can't take it on the plane.

Todd: Well, alright ... I didn't realize liquids aren't allowed on planes.

我還以為安檢人員在Todd包裏找到了什麽危險品呢，原來是一瓶水而已！不過，Professor Bowman, Todd說他的行李一直in his sight, 這是什麽意思啊？

Professor: It means he's watched the bags closely. You can also say that you won't let something out of your sight. For example, I promise I'll take good care of your children. I won't let them out of my sight.

Security guard: Do you have any other dangerous items in your carry-on bags?

Todd: I don't think so. What else is considered dangerous?

Security guard: Well, you can't have any toothpaste on you. People can make bombs that look like toothpaste too!

Todd: Well no, I don't have any toothpaste on me. I packed all of that in my checked bags.

等一下，Professor Bowman, carry-on bags和checked bags有什麽區別？

Professor: Carry-on bags are the bags that you carry onto the plane. Checked bags are those you hand over to the airlines before boarding a plane.

我明白了，carry-on bags就是隨身帶上飛機的行李，checked bags則是我們說的托運行李。

Professor: Exactly. The word "check" can also be a verb. For example, an airline worker might tell you that your bag is too big to carry on the plane, so you need to check it.

Security guard: Alright, I'm finished searching your belongings. You can go now.

Todd: Thanks. Can you tell me which way gate D27 is?

Security guard: Gate D27? Sorry, you're in the wrong terminal. This is Terminal 1. You have to go to Terminal 2.

Todd: Oh no ... You mean I have to go to Terminal 2 and go through the security check there again?

Security guard: That's right.

Todd: But that will take another hour! I might miss my flight!

Security guard: Too bad. Safety comes first!

Wrong terminal? 那就是走錯候機樓了？哎呀，Todd可真倒黴，居然走錯了候機樓，還要到別的候機樓再過一次安檢。不過，我看這個安檢人員並不在乎Todd會不會誤機。

Professor: That's right. You can say "too bad" whenever somebody tells you about their problem, but you don't really care.

說實話，我還真替Todd捏把冷汗，如果趕不上飛機，錯過了聖誕節，他父母一定也會非常難過的！

Professor: Well, tune in next time to see if Todd will make the flight!
