你知道如何撥打電話叫計程車或請酒店服務生為你安排計程車嗎？

首先第一件事情...想想看你的開場白：

打招呼
“Hello”
“Good morning”
“Good afternoon”
“Good evening”

打電話叫計程車
“May I have a taxi at…?”
“Could you send a taxi to…?”
“I’d like to order a taxi…”
“Could I book a taxi…?”
“I’d like a taxi immediately/as soon as possible please.”

聯繫計程車公司
那部計程車沒有準時，你需要知道原因：
“Hello, my name is Mr. Smith. I ordered a taxi for 8p.m. at XYZ Street. It’s 8:15 now. Could you check what has happened please?”
“Can you make sure one arrives as soon as possible?”

在飯店休息
你正在飯店，現在想請飯店幫你叫計程車，你給櫃台打了個電話：
“Could you organize a taxi for me for this evening please? I need to be picked up at 7p.m to go out for a business dinner.”
“Could you book a taxi to take me to the train station tomorrow morning please? I need to be at the station at 8:30a.m. What time do you think should I leave?”

你在訊問門房/服務員
“Excuse me, could you hail a taxi for me please?”
“Excuse me, I need a taxi please.”
“Excuse me, could you get a taxi for me please?”

你想了解計程車的車資多少？
“How much is the typical taxi fare to the airport/train station/city centre etc?”
在計程車上
你要告訴司機去哪裡：
“Could you take me to ‘The Irish Pub’ on 123 XYZ Street please?”

告訴司機你趕著要到某處，希望他能開快一點：
“I’m really in a hurry, so can you take the quickest route please?”

(美國非正式片語)該怎麼告訴司機開快點：
“Please step on it!”

你不確定地址：
“Are you sure this is 123 XYZ Street? I can’t see ‘The Irish Pub’.”

想知道多少錢：
“How much is the fare please?”
“How much do I owe you?”

你想要付多點小費，因為這位司機服務實在是很好：
“Keep the change.”

如果司機想你說：「謝謝。」
“You’re welcome.”
