Todd: Well, they gave me a voucher for a free flight.
Mom: Well that's not so bad! For one night of inconvenience, you can visit anywhere you want for free.
航空公司"bumped" Todd to the next flight,是不是安排他坐下一班飞机?
Professor: Exactly. The word "bump" is a casual way to say "move or "transfer." For example, "I was originally sitting in the economy cabin, but since I had lots of frequent flier miles the airline bumped me up to first class."
哦,这么说Todd因祸得福,虽然被迫在一个破酒店过夜,但却得到了一张voucher, 机票代金券!
Dad: So where are you going to go with your free ticket? What about Hawaii?
Todd: No, the airline says I can only use it in the continental United States.
Mom: Well what about Florida? It's warm and sunny there too.
Todd: Actually, after this experience, I don't think I want to fly anywhere ever again
Professor, 机票代金券只能飞the continental United States是什么意思呢?
Professor: The continental United States are all the US states except for Alaska and Hawaii. Sometimes they are called the contiguous United States.
哦,所以continental United States指美国大陆,是除了阿拉斯加和夏威夷以外的美国各州。那也不错啦!
Professor: Well, apparently Todd is not interested in flying ever again.
