Professor: Yes, but when you're on an airplane you always call the bathroom the "lavatory."
Mom: The airline companies have gotten so cheap these days! When I was your age they gave really good service.
Dad: And can you believe that today they charge you to check your luggage? It's ridiculous!
Todd: Well that isn't even the worst part. When I got to the airport I accidentally went to the wrong terminal, so I had to run to make my flight.
Mom: Oh no! Did you make it on time?
Todd: Well, I got to the gate on time, but then the ticketing agent said that the flight had been overbooked!
这么说,Todd一路小跑总算赶上了飞机。可是飞机overbooked,这是什么意思?
Professor: Sometimes the airline companies sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane because they expect some people won't show up. But if everyone shows up and there aren't enough seats, you can say the flight was "overbooked."
噢,就是航班订位超员了!这下可糟了。
Mom: So what happened? Did they let you get on the plane?
Todd: No, the plane was already full, so they bumped me to the next flight. But that flight wasn't until the next morning, so I had to stay the night in a lousy hotel.
Dad: Wow, that sounds terrible. Did they compensate you in some way?
