壹苹派生活美语　航班取消真不便

I: Isaac　　G: Gina

Isaac just arrived at the airport and found out his flight was canceled. He asks help from Gina, who is one of the airline’s ground staff members.

I: Excuse me, I just received notice that my flight has been canceled due to the typhoon. Can you tell me what’s going on?

G: I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but due to the typhoon, several flights have been canceled for safety reasons. 

I: Oh, no. Do you know how long the typhoon will last?

G: It’s hard to say for sure, but they’re expecting heavy rain and strong winds for the next 24 hours.

I: I see. Is there any chance I can get on a flight tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

艾萨克刚抵达机场，发现自己的班机被取消了。他向吉娜寻求协助，她是航空公司的一名地勤人员。

艾萨克： 不好意思，我刚刚收到通知，我的班机因台风被取消了。妳能告诉我发生了什么事吗？

吉　娜： 造成您的不便，我深表歉意，由于受台风的影响，出于安全考量，多架班机被取消了。

艾萨克： 哦，不。妳知道台风会持续多久吗？

吉　娜： 这很难确定，但预计未来二十四小时会有强风豪雨。

艾萨克： 我明白了。我有机会搭乘明天或后天的班机吗？
