Ex.32. Read the following dialogues in pairs replacing Russian words by their English
equivalents.
Dialogue 1
Passenger – I want билет в Springfield.
Clerk – Which Springfield? There are разные Springfields…
Passenger – I suppose Springfield, Massachusetts, is the cheapest. It is the closest to here
anyway. Fortunately, it is also the Springfield I want to go to. What is плата за проезд, please?
Clerk – Six dollars and eighty cents for билет “туда”, eleven dollars and fifty cents for
билет “туда и обратно”.
Passenger – Когда отправляется ближайший поезд?
Clerk – Есть поезд в 4.10. There is also another at 7.20 сегодня вечером.
Passenger – Are they both прямые поезда?
Clerk – The 4.10 is скорый поезд and делает только одну остановку in New Heaven. It
прибывает в Springfield at 9.30. The second is поезд, который идёт со всеми остановками
and takes about полтора часа longer.
Passenger – Is there вагон ресторан on both trains?
Clerk – There is вагон ресторан on the 4.10. The 7.20 has only a snack bar. They as usual
serve sandwiches and coffee, drinks, etc.
Passenger – …
What train would you choose if you were the passenger? Complete the dialogue.
Dialogue 2
Passenger – Is there поезд дальнего следования going directly to Bangor, Maine?
Clerk – Yes, there is one train. It отправляется at 1.20 in the morning. Of course you can
сесть в поезд any time after eleven o’clock at night and go to bed.
Passenger – I suppose it is необходимо купить билет заранее.
Clerk – It is customary to buy a ticket at least a day in advance. Sometimes, over holidays
or busy seasons, even a week in advance is safer. Плата за проезд to Bangor amounts to about
twenty dollars. Нижняя полка to Bangor will cost you about two dollars more than верхняя полка.
Passenger – Is there any other difference?
Clerk – Well, in the morning, if you are on нижняя полка you get up, and if you are on
верхняя полка you get down. That is one of my little jokes.
Passenger – Большое спасибо. You have been very helpful.
Clerk – Не за что. That is what we are here for.
Dialogue 3
Clerk – Добрый день, чем я могу Вам помочь?
Passenger – Good morning, I’d like билет на скорый поезд до Glasgow.
Clerk – Which train?
Passenger – The one leaving в пять тридцать.
Clerk – Билет “туда” или “туда и обратно”?
Passenger – Только туда, пожалуйста.
Clerk – Would you like первый или второй класс?
