How to use English for transportation abroad?

You have two options. The AirTrain is the fastest — it's a free automated train that connects all terminals. Take it right outside this door, level 3. Terminal 4 is three stops away, about 8 minutes. Or there's a free shuttle bus at the ground level, but that takes about 20 minutes.

有两种方式。AirTrain 最快——是连接所有航站楼的免费自动列车。就在这个门外面3层坐。到4号航站楼3站，大约8分钟。或者在地面层有免费穿梭巴士，但要大约20分钟。

It depends on your situation. If you're staying airside — meaning you don't leave the secure area — then no. But since Terminal 1 and Terminal 4 are in different security zones at this airport, you will need to go through security again. I'd allow at least 30 minutes for that.

取决于情况。如果你一直留在隔离区内——就是不离开安检后的区域——就不用。但这个机场的1号和4号航站楼在不同的安检区域，所以你需要重新过安检。至少预留30分钟。

That should be fine, but don't linger. The AirTrain is 8 minutes, security could be 15 to 30 minutes depending on the queue, and then you'll need to find your gate. My advice: go straight to the AirTrain now and don't stop for food or shopping until you've reached your gate.

应该够，但别耽搁。AirTrain 8分钟，安检看排队情况15到30分钟，然后还要找登机口。我建议：现在直接去坐 AirTrain，到了登机口再考虑吃东西或买东西。

The moving walkways here are flat, so you can push your cart on them. But you'll need to leave the cart before the AirTrain — no carts allowed on the train. Just grab your bags and step on. There are carts available at Terminal 4 if you need one.

这里的自动步道是平的，可以推车上去。但在坐 AirTrain 之前要把车放下——列车上不让带推车。拿好行李直接上车就行。4号航站楼有推车可以用。

There are automated announcements and a screen showing the next stop. It goes Terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in order. So when you hear 'Next stop: Terminal 4,' get ready to step off. If you miss it, just stay on — it loops around. You'll come back to Terminal 4.

有自动报站和屏幕显示下一站。按顺序走：1号、2号、3号、4号、5号航站楼。听到'下一站：4号航站楼'就准备下车。如果坐过了也没关系，不用下车——它是环形的，会回到4号航站楼。

You're welcome! Follow the purple signs — they'll lead you right to the AirTrain. Good luck with your connection, and safe travels!

不客气！跟着紫色标志走——会直接带你到 AirTrain。祝转机顺利，一路平安！

Of course! You're currently in Concourse A. Gate B36 is in Concourse B, which is the next building over. Don't worry — it happens to everyone in this airport, it's huge! Do you see the signs overhead that say 'Gates B'?

当然可以！你现在在A候机厅。B36登机口在B候机厅，就是旁边那栋。别担心——这个机场太大了，谁都会迷路！你看到头上写着'B登机口'的标志了吗？

You have plenty of time — don't panic. Walk straight ahead, past the duty-free shops. You'll see a junction — turn left at the big 'B' sign. Then it's about a 5-minute walk. Gate numbers go in order, so B36 will be on the right-hand side near the end.

时间充裕——别慌。一直往前走，经过免税店。你会看到一个岔路口——在大大的'B'标志那里左转。然后走大约5分钟。登机口按顺序排的，B36在右手边靠里面。

Yes! There are bottle-filling stations near every restroom — look for the blue signs. There's one right next to Gate B32, which is close to your gate. You can also grab a coffee at the Starbucks near B30.

有的！每个卫生间附近都有饮水站——找蓝色标志。B32登机口旁边就有一个，离你的登机口很近。B30附近的星巴克也可以买杯咖啡。

Most of the seats in Concourse B have USB charging ports built into the armrests. And there are free charging stations — the tall kiosks with multiple cables — scattered around the concourse. You should find one near your gate. If not, the airline lounge near B34 has plenty of outlets.

B候机厅大部分座位的扶手上都有USB充电口。还有免费充电站——带多条数据线的高立柱——分布在候机厅各处。你的登机口附近应该有。如果没有，B34附近的航空公司贵宾室有很多插座。

💡 美国大型机场通常在座位区提供免费USB充电口。但要注意：公共USB充电口有安全风险，建议用自己的充电器插电源插座更安全。

Happy to help! Just follow those signs and you'll be fine. And remember — if you ever get lost again, look for staff in blue vests like mine, or use the information kiosks — the touchscreen ones with the airport map. Have a great flight!

很高兴能帮到你！跟着标志走就没问题。记住——如果再迷路了，找穿像我这样蓝色背心的工作人员，或者用信息查询台——那些有机场地图的触屏设备。祝旅途愉快！

Absolutely. We provide complimentary wheelchair assistance. I'll radio for one right now. An attendant will come with a wheelchair and escort your mother all the way to the gate. Which flight are you on?

当然有。我们提供免费轮椅协助。我现在就呼叫。服务人员会推轮椅来，一路送你母亲到登机口。你们的航班是哪个？

About 5 to 10 minutes. The attendant will also help you through security — wheelchair passengers get to use the priority lane, so it should be quicker. They can assist with placing bags on the belt and everything.

大约5到10分钟。服务人员还会帮你们过安检——轮椅旅客可以走优先通道，会更快。他们可以帮忙把包放上传送带什么的。

Yes! Wheelchair passengers board first — before all other groups. The attendant will take your mother right up to the jet bridge and help her onto the aircraft. On the other end in Shanghai, the airline will arrange wheelchair assistance at arrival too — just mention it to the flight crew.

会的！轮椅旅客最先登机——比所有其他组都早。服务人员会把你母亲送到廊桥并帮她上飞机。到上海那边，航空公司也会安排接机轮椅服务——跟机组人员说一下就行。

No paperwork needed. It's a standard service provided under the Air Carrier Access Act — every airline is required to offer it. Just keep your boarding passes ready. Oh, and one tip: it's customary to tip the wheelchair attendant $5 to $10, but it's not mandatory.

不需要填表。这是《航空运输无障碍法案》规定的标准服务——每个航空公司都必须提供。把登机牌准备好就行。对了，提示一下：习惯上给轮椅服务人员5到10美元小费，但不是必须的。

That's what we're here for! Ah, here comes the attendant with the wheelchair now. This is Maria — she'll take great care of your mother. Have a safe flight to Shanghai!

这就是我们的工作！啊，服务人员推着轮椅来了。这是 Maria——她会好好照顾你母亲的。祝飞上海一路平安！
