*It's no bother 無妨;不打緊
當有人為了打擾到你或給你帶來麻煩而致歉,就可以用這句話作為客套話,表示"我沒有被
麻煩到"

現在是週末還打擾你,真是抱歉,但你可以再寄一次那封電子郵件嗎?
B: It's no bother. I'll send it right away. 不打緊.我馬上寄
早報到,挑好位
除非是團體劃位或太晚報到,位子已經快滿了,不然個人報到劃位時都可以試著要求劃自己喜歡的位置.以下是排行前幾名的"好位置":
window seat 靠窗座位
aisle seat 靠走道座位
front row / bulkhead seat (機艙)第一排座位
seat near the front (機艙)前段的座位
Exit - row seat 逃生門邊座位
*That's just pocket change 那不過是小錢
pocket change是指"口袋裡的零錢",當你說一筆錢只不過是"口袋裡的零錢",當然就表示
你口袋很深,負擔得起囉!
A: It's only six bucks. 這只要六塊美元
B: Wow. That's only pocket change. Let me buy four then. 嘩,還真便宜.那我買四個
這句話也可以用在要幫別人代墊錢或是想請客的場合;
A: How much do I owe you? 我要給你多少錢?
B: Don't worry. It's just pocket change anyway. 不必啦,反正只是小錢
