本课目标

学完本课，你能够：

• 从公告、时刻表和柜台答复中提取一致信息；
• 先说优先级，再比较时间、费用和换乘次数；
• 用明确理由排除已经取消或不符合限制的方案；
• 为换乘、取票和停止登车时间预留时间；
• 向服务人员复述路线并请求确认。

本课边界

本课整合第57—59课，不增加主要语法。路线信息只适用于Daniel和Grace这一次从Port Mason返回Riverton的行程。公告和实时信息可能继续变化，因此最终决定必须在出发前向当前信息源确认。

场景词汇

• available option 当前可用方案
• supplement 补票费用
• transfer slip 换乘凭条
• boarding closes 停止登车
• high winds 强风
• valid ticket 有效车票
• backup plan 备用方案
• rule out 排除

Choosing a route under real constraints

At 5:18 p.m., Daniel and Grace study the current departure board at Port Mason Central. They need to get home after missing the 5:10 direct train.

Part A — Filtering the options

Daniel: We need another way home. The board gives us a coach connection, a ferry-and-bus route, or the 9:10 direct train.

Grace: Let’s state our priorities first. Our top priority is arriving before nine, and we can spend no more than twenty-five dollars extra.

Daniel: I’d also prefer no more than one transfer. The ferry route has one transfer and arrives at 8:40.

Grace: But the status line says the 6:10 ferry is canceled because of high winds. That rules out the ferry route.

Daniel: Our current tickets are valid on the 9:10 direct train at no extra charge, but it doesn’t arrive until 10:25.

Grace: So it fails our arrival-time priority. It can be the backup if the earlier connection stops working.

Daniel: The best available option is the 5:40 coach to Lake Junction, followed by the 6:35 regional train.

Grace: It reaches Riverton at 8:05 and costs twelve dollars extra. That fits all three limits.

Daniel: We need to allow time for the transfer slip. The note says to collect it from Bay 3 before boarding.

Grace: And boarding closes at 5:35, so our decision deadline is earlier than the 5:40 departure time.

Part B — Confirming before committing

Daniel: That’s not how I remembered the first notice. I thought the coach left from Bay 5.

Grace: The record now shows Bay 7. You may be mixing up the coach bay with the slip counter at Bay 3.

Daniel: You’re right. Looking back, I combined two numbers from the same announcement.

Grace: Is it usually enough to collect one transfer slip for both of us, or do we each need one?

Daniel: It depends on the ticket, so let’s not assume. We need to confirm the connection at the service desk.

Grace: I’ll ask whether the coach is still on time, whether we need two slips, and whether twelve dollars is the total supplement.

Daniel: I’ll confirm Bay 7 and the 5:35 boarding cutoff. If we’d kept relying on the first number we remembered, we would’ve waited at the wrong bay.

Grace: The desk confirms two slips, twelve dollars total, Bay 7, and a 5:35 cutoff. The regional train is still due at 6:35.

Daniel: Then the coach connection is our main plan, and the 9:10 direct train is our backup.

Grace: Agreed. Let’s collect the slips now and be at Bay 7 by 5:28 rather than using every minute of the margin.

Final itinerary

Daniel and Grace collect two transfer slips at Bay 3 and pay a total supplement of $12. They reach Bay 7 at 5:28, board before the 5:35 cutoff and take the 5:40 coach. At Lake Junction they transfer to the 6:35 regional train and arrive in Riverton at 8:05.

Check the story

1. What are the travelers’ three limits?
2. Why is the ferry route ruled out?
3. Why is the 9:10 train only a backup?
4. Which two bay numbers does Daniel mix up?
5. What four details does the desk confirm?
6. What route do they finally take?

Current options at 5:18

Option	Route	Arrival	Extra cost	Transfers	Current status
A	5:40 coach to Lake Junction → 6:35 regional train	8:05	$12	1	available; slip required
B	6:10 ferry to North Point → 7:00 bus	8:40	not stated	1	ferry canceled
C	9:10 direct train	10:25	$0	0	available; current ticket valid

约束过滤顺序

1. 状态：已经取消的路线先排除。
2. 硬限制：到达时间、预算、最大换乘数。
3. 执行细节：站台、凭条、停止登车时间。
4. 余量：不要把“5:40发车”误当成“5:40还能上车”。
5. 备用方案：主方案失败时，仍保留可执行路线。

三个数字不能混在一起

• Bay 3：领取换乘凭条；
• Bay 7：乘坐长途客车；
• 5:35：停止登车，不是发车时间。

把每个数字写上功能，比单独记数字更可靠。

1. We need another way …

承认原方案失效，立即转入替代方案。

The last bus has gone. We need another way across town.

2. Our top priority is …

在比较方案前说明最重要的限制。

Our top priority is arriving before the desk closes.

3. That rules out …

用一条明确事实排除方案。

The ferry is canceled. That rules out option B.

Don’t Say It That Way

容易说出的句子	问题	更自然、可执行的表达
This is the best route.	没有限定信息和标准	This is the best available option for our three priorities.
The train is at Bay 3.	把凭条柜台和乘车站台混淆	We collect the slip at Bay 3 and board the coach at Bay 7.

1. 第57课：核对记忆与记录

That’s not how I remembered the notice.
The record now shows Bay 7.
I may be mixing up Bay 3 with Bay 7.

用途：防止把记住的数字直接当成当前事实。

2. 第58课：询问安排与可变条件

Do we have to collect a transfer slip?
Are we supposed to collect it before boarding?
Is it okay if one person collects both slips?
It depends on the ticket.

用途：不要从一次经验猜测服务流程。

3. 第59课：反事实只用于复盘

If we had waited at Bay 5, we would have missed the coach.

真实行动仍用当前和未来表达：

We need to go to Bay 3 now.
We’ll be at Bay 7 by 5:28.

4. 决策句的证据链

The ferry is canceled. That rules out option B.
Option A arrives at 8:05 and costs $12 extra. It fits our limits.
The desk has confirmed the slips and bay. We’ll take option A.

不要只说I like A；把状态、标准、确认和行动连起来。

快速练习

用括号中的提示完成：

1. The ferry is canceled. That ______ option B. (rule out)
2. Our top ______ is arriving before nine. (priority)
3. We need to ______ time for the transfer slip. (allow)
4. I may be ______ Bay 3 with Bay 7. (mix up)
5. Do we ______ collect one slip each? (have to)
6. If we had waited at Bay 5, we ______ the coach. (miss)

把“地点—功能”一起读：

Collect the transfer slips / at BAY THREE.
Board the coach / at BAY SEVEN.

把“时间—含义”一起读：

Boarding CLOSES / at five thirty-five.
The coach LEAVES / at five forty.

排除方案时，重音落在原因和方案：

The ferry is CANCELED. / That rules out option B.

最终确认采用下降语调，表示决定完成：

Then option A is our MAIN PLAN. ↘

影子跟读

Our top priority is arriving before nine.
That rules out the ferry route.
We need to allow time for the transfer slip.
Let’s confirm the connection at the service desk.

A. 理解检查

判断正误：

1. Option A reaches Riverton after nine.
2. Option B is unavailable because of high winds.
3. Option C costs an extra twelve dollars.
4. Daniel first confuses Bay 5 with Bay 7.
5. The service desk confirms that one slip is enough for two travelers.
6. The travelers plan to reach Bay 7 before the boarding cutoff.

B. 用限制过滤路线

你的条件：20:30前到家、额外费用不超过$18、最多一次换乘。比较：

Route	Arrival	Extra cost	Transfers	Status
X	20:10	$22	0	available
Y	20:25	$14	1	available
Z	20:05	$10	2	available
W	20:20	$16	1	canceled

逐项说明fits / fails / rules out，再选主方案和一个需要放宽限制才可使用的备用方案。

C. Unit 15无原句提示检索

根据18个新情境写最合适表达，不得照抄第57—59课原场景：

1. 你礼貌说明自己记得的顺序不同。
2. 你以“按我的记忆”引出有限版本。
3. 你怀疑把两场会议混在一起了。
4. 你询问发出提醒之后发生了什么。
5. 日志显示文件在14:06上传。
6. 双方都正确记住了最终期限。
7. 你询问在这个办公室通常是否这样签到。
8. 你询问访客是否必须寄存包。
9. 你询问大家是否应该等主持人。
10. 你想在行动前获得拍照许可。
11. 描述这次培训的参加者通常拼桌。
12. 回答取决于具体房间。
13. 如果早点保存，就不会丢失草稿。
14. 如果查看了更新，就会看到新房间。
15. 当时不知道网络会中断。
16. 回头看，纸质名单已经过期。
17. 说明那个信息会改变决定。
18. 阻止大家把问题全怪给一人。

D. Lesson 56单元近距复现

柜台工作人员说：“Go to Bay 7. Don’t wait at Bay 5. Get your slips first.” Daniel觉得像在责怪他记错。写一段语气修复：

• 描述这句话产生的效果；
• 承认意图可能只是保持清楚；
• 用What I meant was …重述；
• 用Thanks for flagging that回应；
• 用Could we reset …?回到行动；
• 用To avoid confusion列出Bay 3和Bay 7的功能。

E. Unit 14证据与数字错误远迁移

材料：

A screenshot saved yesterday shows Bay 5. The current official board shows Bay 7. A traveler’s review says, “They always change bays without warning.” The current announcement gives Bay 7 and a 5:35 cutoff.

完成100—130词判断：

1. 哪个是当前最强证据；
2. 截图可能是什么；
3. 评论能证明和不能证明什么；
4. 哪两个数字必须重新确认；
5. 如何修复一条写成“Go to 5 at 5:40”的含糊消息。

F. 陌生声音听力

先不看文字稿，听Ellis在车站广播中的通知两遍，记录：

1. 哪项服务取消及原因；
2. 哪张票仍然有效；
3. 去哪里领取什么；
4. 客车从哪个站台出发，而不是哪个站台；
5. 何时停止登车；
6. 未赶上换乘的人可使用哪班车；
7. 是否需要额外付费。

第三遍跟读时间、站台和路线名称。文字稿只在答案区查看。

G. 信息差角色扮演

学习者A只有三条路线的时间和费用；学习者B只有取消状态、站台和停止登车时间。双方不得直接展示资料，必须通过问题完成：

• 三项共同优先级；
• 排除两项方案的理由；
• 主方案和备用方案；
• 三个需要柜台确认的细节；
• 最晚行动时间。

自学时把两组资料分两页，先录A的提问，再只看B页回答。

H. 实用写作：给家人的行程更新

写90—120词消息，说明：

• 原直达列车已错过；
• 当前主方案及两段交通；
• 预计到达时间和额外费用；
• 已确认的站台与停止登车时间；
• 如果主方案失败，备用方案是什么；
• 哪些信息仍可能随运营情况变化。

I. 中译英情境表达

1. 我们得换一种回家方式。
2. 我们最优先考虑的是九点前到达。
3. 渡轮取消了，这就排除了第二个方案。
4. 当前最好的选择是经Lake Junction换乘。
5. 我们需要为领取换乘凭条预留时间。
6. 我们去服务台确认一下换乘吧。

做一张自己的备选方案卡

选择一次低风险出行，列出三个方案和三个限制。每个方案必须写：

• current status;
• arrival time;
• cost;
• transfers;
• deadline before departure;
• source and check time.

录制“决定—确认”双段音频

第一段90秒：比较方案并选出主方案。第二段60秒：扮演柜台人员，确认站台、凭条、费用和停止登车时间。然后听回放，检查数字是否带有功能标签。

两天后的复测

只看：

PRIORITIES → RULE OUT → BEST AVAILABLE → ALLOW TIME → CONFIRM → BACKUP

用一组新路线完成两分钟无稿决策。
