Melanie: Let's check the ticket price now and decide which day we leave.
咱们现在查一下机票价格然后决定哪天出发吧。
Coco: Let me check on Google Flights. Hm, you see on this price chart, April 5 and 6, which are Tuesday and Wednesday, have the lowest prices. And we come back on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. What do you think?
让我在谷歌航班上查一下。Hm, 你看这个价格对比图,4月5日和6日,也就是下周二和下周三的价格最低。然后我们下下周二和周三回来。你觉得如何?
Melanie: Wednesday is better because it leaves us one more day to pack. Packing kids' stuff is gonna take some time.
周三更好因为我们能多出一天收拾行李。收拾孩子的东西会花些时间。
Coco: You are right. Next Wednesday it is. I prefer direct flights even though it's slightly more expensive. I just don't want the kids to get agitated on the road.
你说的对。下周三吧。我倾向于直飞虽然贵了一点点。我不想让孩子们在路途上变得焦躁。
Melanie: I agree. Scroll down a bit, let's see if there is a departure time around 11... There! This one is good. If it takes off at 11:30 and lands at 3, we'd still have the evening.
我同意。往下滑一点儿,咱们看看有没有11点出发的(航班)...这里!这不错。如果11点半起飞,3点落地,我们还有晚上。
Coco: I'll go ahead and book round trips for us and the kids, so 4 tickets in total. We come back on April 12 in the afternoon, sounds good? So I get to rest a bit and get ready for work.
我这就定咱们和孩子的往返航班,一共4张票。我们4月12日中午回来,怎么样?这样我可以休息一下,为上班做好准备。
Melanie: Make it work for your schedule Coco. I am okay with anything.
Coco,围绕你的日程表安排旅行就行。 我都可以。
