Unit 2-1 Greetings at the Airport

B:Yes, I'm George Tallack from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. You must be Mis Dai, if I'm not mistaken.
A:
Group. I have been expecting you, Prof. Tallack.
B: Thank you for coming to meet me at the airport. This is a fantastic airport, absolutely one of the top-notch international airports.

the tiring trip. We're very grateful that
give us advice.
B: I've long been expecting to learn about the famous Haitong Group. I really appreciate this opportunity, which is also an opportunity for me to learn about Chinese enterprises at a close distance.
A: How was the trip? It must be very tiring, flying for more than10 hours.
B:Not too bad. But we were later than expected. Our plane delayed taking off as we ran into a storm. We were held up for several hours at the airport, waiting for the storm to clear up. But we had good flying weather and we enjoyed a good attending service, of course.
A: Well, you must be very tired after the long trip, and you have to get over the jet-lag. We have got all the luggage, haven't we? Let's drive directly to the hotel.2-1 机场迎宾

A: 一路可好?十几个小时的飞行很辛苦啊。

B: 还可以，但班机延误了，下了暴雨，我们只得在机场等了几个小时，天气转好后才起飞。

行李都齐了，我们直接回宾馆吧。

A: 我们希望您在这里过得愉快，希望您与我海通集团合作愉快。

东西齐了，车已在外面等候，我们走吧。

B: 好的。
