<p>JihoeX: A very simple list of vocabulary and short sentences for foreigners in Chinese airport.</p> <hr /> <div>When you are at the airport in China and in a hurry, actually it's enough when you know only English, because almost all the signs are with English translation and nearly all the ground services know basic English.<br /> <br /> But if you want to learn something about Chinese, I think airport is a very good place for you to learn these vocabulary and short sentences, but at first I suggest you to learn Pinyin, so that you can read and spell the following Pinyin correctly.<br /> <br /> Attention: - means the first tone, / means second tone, v means the third and \ means the fourth. And if there ant any of the four tones, that menas a light tone.<br /> <br /> vocabulary:<br /> <br /> airport: ji- chang v 机场<br /> <br /> plane: fei- ji- 飞机<br /> <br /> flight: hang/ ban- 航班<br /> <br /> gate/ departure gate/ boarding gate: deng- ji- kou v 登机口 <br /> <br /> (maybe you have just found that the second character is the same with the &quot;airport&quot;'s first character, they are the same character（机）, it means maschine, and fei-(飞) means fly, so &quot;fei- ji-&quot; (plane) means &quot;fly maschine&quot;)<br /> <br /> boarding pass: deng- ji- pai/ 登机牌<br /> <br /> passport: hu\ zhao\ 护照<br /> <br /> luggage: xing/ li v 行李<br /> <br /> consignment: tuo- yun\ 托运<br /> <br /> prohibited goods: wei/ jin\ pin v 违禁品<br /> <br /> （In chinese airport some goods can not be brought into the plane, you should take attention to it.）<br /> <br /> passport control immigration hu\ zhao\ jian v cha/ chu\ 护照检查处 <br /> <br /> China Customs: Zhong- guo/(China) hai v guan- (Customs) 中国海关<br /> <br /> transfer: Zhong- zhuan v 中转<br /> <br /> delayed: yan/ wu\ 延误<br /> <br /> take off: qi v fei- 起飞<br /> <br /> departure lounge: hou\ ji- shi\ 候机室<br /> <br /> terminal: hang/ zhan\ lou/ 航站楼<br /> <br /> 1st: yi- hao\ 1号<br /> <br /> 2nd: er\ hao\ 2号<br /> <br /> 3rd: san- hao\ 3号<br /> <br /> 4th: si\ hao\ 4号<br /> <br /> 5th: wu v hao\ 5号<br /> <br /> 6、7、8、9、10 liu\ qi- ba- jiu v shi/ <br /> <br /> (I hope that it wont be more than 10 terminals)<br /> <br /> luggage claim: xing/ li v ling/ qu v chu\ 行李领取处<br /> <br /> toilet: ce\ suo v 厕所<br /> <br /> short sentences:<br /> <br /> Could you please tell me: qing v wen\ 请问<br /> <br /> where is: na/ li v shi\ 哪里是（哪里有）<br /> <br /> Can you speak English？: nin v neng/ shuo- ying- yu v ma-: 您能说英语吗？<br /> <br /> Can you show me: nin v neng/ dai\ wo v qu\: 您能带我去<br /> <br /> How much: duo- shao v qian/ 多少钱<br /> <br /> In some cases you may need to print your boarding pass yourself in the airport, you can ask:<br /> <br /> Where can I print : wo v yao\ qu\ na/ li v da v yin\ 我要去哪里打印<br /> <br /> So much for today, thank you for reading, if you have questions plz contact me, I will reply as soon as possible.</div>
