Travel & Transport

Travel collocations for journeys, transport, and tourism

はじめに

旅行英語には、学習者がよく混同するコロケーションがたくさんあります。「catch a flight（飛行機に乗る）」であって「take a flight」じゃない（まあ両方使うけど）、「miss the bus（バスに乗り遅れる）」であって「lose the bus」じゃない。正しい組み合わせを覚えれば、旅先でのコミュニケーションがぐっとスムーズになります。

この章では、空港、ホテル、観光、移動に使える旅行・交通のコロケーションを学びます。
