Buying a Ferry Ticket · 购买渡轮票
basicHi, I'd like to book a ferry to Martha's Vineyard for two adults. What times do you have today?
你好,我想订去玛莎葡萄园岛的渡轮,两个成人。今天有什么时间?
We have sailings at 9:30 AM, 12:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. The morning one still has plenty of seats.
我们有9:30、12:00和3:00的航班。早上那班还有很多位子。
We'll take the noon one. How long is the crossing?
我们坐中午那班。渡海要多久?
The standard ferry takes about 45 minutes. We also have a high-speed ferry that does it in 30 minutes, but it costs more.
普通渡轮大约45分钟。我们还有高速渡轮,30分钟到,但更贵。
We'll go with the standard one. How much for two adults, round trip?
坐普通的就好。两个成人往返多少钱?
That's $38 per person round trip, so $76 total. Would you like to reserve deck seating or indoor seating?
每人往返38美元,共76美元。你们要预订甲板座位还是室内座位?
Deck seating sounds nice. Is it okay if it rains?
甲板座位不错。下雨怎么办?
💡 海上天气变化快,建议带件外套。甲板上风大,体感温度比陆地低。
There's a covered section on the deck. But you can always move inside if the weather turns. No reserved seating inside.
甲板上有遮雨的区域。天气不好随时可以到室内,室内不用预订座位。
Good to know. What time should we arrive at the dock before departure?
了解了。开船前多久要到码头?
Please be here at least 30 minutes before departure. Boarding closes 10 minutes before sailing time.
请至少提前30分钟到。登船在开航前10分钟关闭。
Taking a Car on the Ferry · 带车上渡轮
intermediateCan I bring my car on the ferry? How much extra does that cost?
可以带车上渡轮吗?要加多少钱?
Yes, but vehicle reservations sell out fast, especially in summer. A standard car costs $85 one-way in addition to passenger fares.
可以,但车辆预约很快就满了,尤其是夏天。普通轿车单程85美元,不含乘客票。
That's steep. Is it better to just rent a car on the island instead?
好贵。是不是在岛上直接租车更好?
Many people do that. The island also has bike rentals and shuttle buses. You don't really need a car there unless you're staying a while.
很多人这样做。岛上也有自行车租赁和接驳巴士。除非住很久,否则不太需要车。
Good point. If I do bring my car, how early do I need to line up at the dock?
有道理。如果带车的话,要提前多久到码头排队?
At least one hour before departure. Cars board first, so you need to be in the vehicle staging area on time.
至少提前一个小时。车辆先上船,所以要准时到车辆集结区。
Can I stay in my car during the crossing, or do I have to go upstairs?
渡海期间可以待在车里吗?还是必须上楼?
You must leave the vehicle deck once we sail. It's for safety. You can go to the passenger deck and enjoy the views.
开船后必须离开车辆甲板。这是出于安全考虑。你可以去乘客甲板看风景。
Understood. If I cancel the car reservation, do I get a refund?
明白了。如果取消车辆预约,能退款吗?
If you cancel at least 72 hours in advance, you get a full refund. Less than that, there's a $25 cancellation fee.
提前至少72小时取消可以全额退款。不足72小时有25美元取消费。
