“吃、住、行、游、购、娱”，简简单单的六个字，却概括了旅游的精髓！那首先让我们来看一看……

1.“吃”：restaurant餐厅 waiter/waitress服务生 spoon汤匙 fork叉子 knife刀子chopsticks筷子 napkin餐巾 menu菜单 beverage饮料 bowl碗 plate盘子 salt盐MSG味精 sugar糖 vegetarian素食主义者

2.“住”：imperial suite皇室套房 presidential suite总统套房 deluxe honeymoon suite蜜月套房 unmade room 未清扫房 room rate房价 en-suite套房 family suite 家庭套房advance deposit 定金 reservation 预订 rate sheet 房价表 tariff 价目表

3.“行”：registration 登记 briefcase公文包 travelling bag旅行袋 trunk大衣箱suitcase小提箱 name tag标有姓名的标签 regular flight 正常航班 non-scheduled flight非正常航班 international flight国际航班 domestic flight国内航班

4.“游”：近来，国人旅游的热情日益高涨，而各大旅行社更是精心策划，制订了境内、境外、长期、短期多种旅游线路，比如“法国、瑞士、意大利、奥地利、德国、梵蒂冈欧洲六国11日游”。对于这种线路，游客只能在每个国家做短暂停留，游览那里最著名的景点，而这种旅游在英文中就叫“whistle-stop tour”。

5.“购”：不要以为只有中国人买东西时才爱杀价，事实上美国人也是一个很爱杀价的民族，英美人士称之为bargain（议价），中国人称之为“杀价”，因此在英文上才有bargain hunting（超低价抢便宜）这个词语。

6.“娱”：amusement park游乐场 carnival狂欢节 circus马戏 ballet芭蕾舞 concert音乐会 exhibition展览 opera歌剧 photography摄影 theatre剧场 sculpture雕刻aquarium水族馆 bathing beach海滨浴场 cocktail lounge鸡尾酒休闲室
