    7. hit the road 上路

    23. 一直困扰我的baggage和luggage:

    “行李”在美国一向用 baggage,近几年来才渐渐用 luggage。但在美国也往往把 luggage 统指衣箱、皮包等物件。说得明白些,英国的所谓 luggage 指旅客带着的衣箱、皮包等物件,店家出售的空箱和空包都不是 luggage,美国的所谓 luggage 往往指店家出卖的衣箱、皮包等物件,一经旅客带着便不是 luggage 而是 baggage 了。

    24. piece这个量词可以用在很多东西上:

    a piece of luggage/ baggage/ advice/ news/ clothing/ music/ furniture/ garbage

    25. MIA (missing in action)

          △ You've been MIA.

    26. 不用老是说delicious,可以说:It's good.

    27. I hate to be a party bummer.

    28. 机场最常听到的话:May I have your attention, please.

    29 飞哪个航班用 fly:Which airline do you fly?

    30. 行李提取处baggage claim ,行李传送带carousel(marry-go-round)

    语音点:

    1. ˈwaiting list 重音在前

    2. Chicago /ʃɪ ˈkɑːɡoʊ/ 

    3. carousel / ˌkærəˈsel /

    4. outdo 重音在后
