Hi. Welcome again to www.engvid.com. My name is Adam.
欢迎来到www.engvid.com，我是Adam。
Today, I'm talking about a very interesting topic because, for example, in Toronto right now, it's very, very cold.
今天我会跟大家聊一个非常有意思的话题，因为比如说现在多伦多非常非常冷。
I'm thinking about travelling; I would love to go somewhere hot to get away from this winter.
我想要旅行，想要去一个暖和一点的地方过冬。
So, when I travel, I have, of course, to make travel arrangements.
所以我旅行的时候，就要做一些旅行安排。
So here, we have a list of words, a list of things that you must think about before you go on a trip to a different country. We're going to go over each of these.
所以在这里，我们有一系列单词，一系列在你去另外一个国家度假之前需要考虑到的事情，我们一个一个来看。
We're going to start with "booking" and "reservation".Now, many people think that this is more or less the same, which it is.
首先是"booking"和"reservation"。很多人都觉得这两个或多或少差不多一个意思，确实是这样。
To book something or to reserve something means to keep a place, to keep your place.You book a flight, you book a hotel room.
预订某个东西就是说保留你的位置。你可以订机票，订宾馆。
Generally speaking, you make a reservation at a restaurant; you make a booking with a travel agency or with a hotel, with accommodations, any type of accommodation.
大体上来说，你可以订餐馆，你可以通过旅行社预订食宿，各种类型的食宿。
Speaking of, accommodations are hotel, motel, hostel, B&B (bed and breakfast); all kinds of accommodations.
食宿包括酒店、汽车宾馆、青年旅社、B&B，各种类型。
Make sure you have a booking before you go, so your place is safe, it's kept for you.When you arrive, it's all good.
要记得去之前先预定，这样你的位置就可以保证了。等你到的时候，可以直接入住。
Next, when you're at your destination, the place you're going to, you might want to "rent" a car. Okay?Sorry, this is accommodation.
下一个，当你到达目的地的时候，到你要去的地方，你可能需要租一辆车。抱歉，这个是accommodation。
One thing I wanted to also make sure - "accommodations", without the "s", "accommodation" means something different. Okay?
我想要再说一下，"accomodations"，没有s的话就是完全不同的意思了。
"Accommodations" is where you're going to sleep.And you might want to "rent" a car.
"Accommodations"就是指你睡觉的地方。你可能还需要"rent"一辆车。
You can also "hire" a car. Means the same thing.British people generally use "hire" more, North Americans use "rent" more often.
你也可以"hire"一辆车，一样的意思。英国人说"hire"多一点，北美人说"rent"多一些。
Next, you have to think about your "baggage".Suitcase, luggage, bags, anything you're carrying with you.
下一个，你需要考虑你的"baggage"。行李箱，行李包，各种你带着的东西。
You might have "check-in baggage".Sorry, I don't know if you can see this guy."Check-in baggage" and "carry-on baggage".
你可能会有"check-in baggage"。抱歉我不知道你们能不能看清楚。"Check-in baggage"和"carry-on baggage"。
"Check-in baggage" means you give it to the airline, they put it under the plane, you pick it up at your destination.
"Check-in baggage"是说你交给航空公司，然后他们放在飞机舱下面，你到目的地再取走的那种行李。
"Carry-on" means you carry on, so you carry it on your shoulder on to the plane. Okay?In your carry-on, you have to be careful, it has to be small.
"Carry-on"就是你带上飞机的那种行李。如果你要带着上飞机，一定要注意，必须是小行李。
You can't have liquids because of security and all that stuff.So things that you can't put in your carry-on, you must put in your check-in baggage and give to the airline.
你不能带液体，出于安全考虑。所以你不能带上飞机的那部分行李必须装进行李箱交给航空公司。
Next, when you get to the airport, assuming you're flying, you will have to do a few things that concern the word "boarding".
接下来，当你到机场的时候（假设你是坐飞机的话），你需要做一些跟"boarding"相关的事情。
Before you board your plane, get on your plane - you will get a boarding pass that lets you pass through security and into the airport.
在你登机之前，你会领到一张登机牌，能够让你通过安检进入机场。
On the boarding pass, you will see your "boarding time", this is when you get on the plane and your "boarding gate",
登机牌上会写你的登记时间，还有登机门，
the place in the airport where you're going to get on your plane before takeoff. Okay?
也就是你上飞机的地方。
We can also use this for a train.You board a train, you get a boarding pass with a boarding time, and generally a boarding platform. Okay?
这个也可以用于描述火车。你要坐火车，你会有一张写有上车时间的车票，然后上面一般还写有上车站台。
So "boarding", getting on your vehicle, whatever vehicle that might be.You will also generally need to get a "visa" to many countries.
所以"boarding"的意思就是乘坐交通工具，不管是哪一种。你可能还需要很多国家的"visa"。
Now, a "visa" is something that you use to get into a country, it gives you permission to stay in that country.
"Visa"是能让你进入其他国家的东西，能够让你停留在那个国家。
But be aware: many places, if you're going through another country... So, for example: I'm going to country "C" via country "B".
但是要注意，去很多地方你都需要经过另外一个国家，比如说我要去C国，但是途径B国。
"Via" means by way of or through.So I might need a "transit visa", means I can go there, switch planes and keep going on my journey.
"Via"是途径的意思。所以我就需要一个"transit visa"，意思是说我能够到那里转机，继续我的行程。
But I'm still in another country, I need a transit visa. Excuse me.
但是只要我到另外一个国家，我就需要过境签证。抱歉。
Also, make sure you're prepared to spend money as soon as you get to your destination.
除此之外，还要尽快准备好你到另外一个国家需要用的钱。
If you're going to a different country, that country will but using a different "currency", type of money.
如果我要到另外一个国家去，我需要用另外一种货币。
In Canada, we have Canadian dollar.America has American dollar. Okay? For things like that.In Europe, you need the euro.
在加拿大，我们有加元。美国有美元。欧洲的话需要欧元。
So make sure you have some of the currency before you go, or purchase it at the airport or at the destination you're going to.
确认好你在去之前就已经换好货币，或者是在机场或者目的地进行兑换。
Some countries, especially hot countries, are not very...You don't have very clean water or there may be lots of diseases or other things you need to worry about; mosquitoes, malaria, etcetera.
在一些国家，特别是比较热的国家，并不是非常……那里没有特别干净的水源，或者有很多疾病一类的东西你需要担心，蚊虫、疟疾一类的。
You might need to get "vaccination".
你可能就需要打疫苗。
You might need to get a shot or you might need to get pills or anything like that to protect you from whatever troubles there are.
你需要提前打一针，或者吃药，以预防你可能遇到的问题。
"Vaccinations" are sometimes called "inoculation", same thing. It's a pill or it's a shot, a needle.
"Vaccinations"有的时候也叫"inoculation"，一样的东西，可以是药片或者针剂。
When you purchase your ticket, the travel agent will probably send you an "itinerary."
你买票的时候，旅行社可能会给你一份旅行指南。
"Itinerary" is a plan; you're leaving this day, this time, this airport, arriving this airport, this day, this time.
"Itinerary"是指一份计划，这天这个时间这个机场出发，然后到达那天那个时间那个机场。
Itinerary is also a plan if you're doing like a package tour with excursions."Excursion" means an outing.
还可以指一份远足的计划表。"Excursion"就是说往外走。
You have planned outings; you're going different places, you're going to do different things.
你计划好出去了，要去不同的地方，做不同的事情。
If you're going to Africa, you're probably going to go on safari, that is a type of excursion.
如果你要去非洲的话，你可能会去进行观兽旅行，这就是远足的一种形式。
You're going to go somewhere and do this, this, and that on this, this, and that day. Okay?
你要去某个地方，然后某天做某些事情，另外一天做另外的事情。
So your itinerary is a plan, a written plan of what you're going to do.
所以itinerary就是一份写好的行程表。
Then, if you buy anything overseas, when you come home, you might have to "declare" to the "customs" officer what you bought, how much you spent.
如果你在海外买东西的话，回家的时候，就得向海关进行申报，你买了什么东西，价值多少钱。
What are you bringing back home with you? Right?So you have to make a declaration.
就是那些你带回家的东西。你需要进行报关。
Be prepared to declare anything that you bought because if you get caught, not going to be very good; you might get into a bit of trouble with the customs officer.
一定要准备好把你买的所有东西都报关，因为要是被抓的话可不是什么好事，你可能会在海关那里遇到点儿麻烦。
And then, once you do all of these things, pack your bag - don't forget your bathing suit, sunscreen.
接下来，你准备好所有的东西，装好行李，别忘了带泳衣、防晒霜。
I need sunscreen every time I travel because I'm kind of pale.And all...Then you're ready to go. Right?
我每次旅行都要带防晒，因为我比较白。这就是所有的东西了，然后你就可以走了。
