實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：飛行工作 Airplane Job

Todd: Alexandra, you worked at an airport before. You said you worked in Aviation.

Alexandra, 你之前在機(jī)場(chǎng)工作。你說(shuō)你是做航空業(yè)的。

Alexandra: Yes, my previous job was write contracts for an aviation company and we bought and sold airplanes and aircraft engines, so we did a lot of marketing and leasing and speaking to people from different countries, and airlines wanting to buy equipment, so a lot of negotiations.

是的，我之前的工作是在一家航空公司簽合同，我們公司買(mǎi)賣(mài)飛機(jī)以及飛機(jī)引擎。所以我們公司做營(yíng)銷(xiāo)，租賃還與來(lái)自不同國(guó)家的人進(jìn)行交談，而且航空公司想要買(mǎi)設(shè)備，所以還會(huì)有很多談判。

Todd: Can you explain what leasing is?

你能解釋一下什么是租賃嗎?

Alexandra: Leasing is when our company owns a piece of equipment, either an airplane or an engine and a customer has a need, for example, if their airplane has to do some maintenance, and they need a replacement, then we will let them use our airplane for a certain amount of months, like you rent a car, same thing, same idea.

租賃就是我們公司會(huì)有很多設(shè)備，當(dāng)顧客需要一架飛機(jī)，或者一個(gè)引擎的時(shí)候，如果他們的飛機(jī)需要維護(hù)，或者說(shuō)是需要更換，我們將會(huì)讓他們先用我們飛機(jī)幾個(gè)月，跟你租輛車(chē)是一樣的，相同的事情相同的道理。

Todd: Oh, wow. And you lease not only the plane but engines as well?

哦，哇。那你的租賃中不僅是租飛機(jī)還租引擎?

Alexandra: Sometimes you have an airplane that's delayed at the airport because of some reason and they need to swap an engine out, or whatever.

有時(shí)候如果你的航班在機(jī)場(chǎng)因?yàn)槟承┰蛲睃c(diǎn)了，他們就需要交換引擎或者是其他的一些事情。

Todd: Right before the plane takes off, they sometimes switch engines?

就在飛機(jī)起飛的時(shí)候，他們總是會(huì)換引擎?

Alexandra: They'll take the passengers off and put them on another plane cause it takes a lot longer than the 10 or 15 minute turnaround, but, you will have, it's more an emergency type of situation, so they'll take the engine off, and it might be and overnight deal so we go ahead and furnish a replacement engine until they can move that plane back to where it belongs or have the engine repaired.

他們會(huì)讓乘客先下飛機(jī)然后去搭乘另一班。換引擎的時(shí)候會(huì)多于10或15分鐘，但更多時(shí)候還會(huì)突發(fā)緊急狀況，所以他們會(huì)關(guān)掉引擎。之后就可能會(huì)有一場(chǎng)連夜交易，我們要去給他們配備一個(gè)替代品直到他們能將飛機(jī)歸回原位或者是修好引擎。

Todd: So can you lease a pilot?

那你能租用飛行員嗎?

Alexandra: You can, yes, you can lease a crew. Yes! It's called a wet lease, and we used to do dry leases meaning we only provided the equipment but a wet lease includes a full crew that will fly the airplane, flight attendants, etc.

可以，是的，你可以租借機(jī)組成員。那叫是租賃。我們過(guò)去常常做干租賃，那意味著我們只提供設(shè)備而濕租賃包括完整的機(jī)組以及飛機(jī)乘務(wù)員等等。
