“What goes around, comes around.” And the same can usually be said of most trips ... but not always!
ONE-WAY / ROUND-TRIP 片道/往復
- We use the expression one-way to talk about taking a trip in one direction only; in other words, going somewhere but not returning.
We use the expression round-trip to talk about both going AND returning.
Be Careful! We say “a round-trip ticket”, NOT “a round ticket”. - one-way は、一方向だけに旅行することについて話すときに使います。つまり、片道、ということです。
round-trip は、往復について話すときに使います。
注意: a round-trip ticketとは言いますが、a round ticket とは言いません。
- The fare from Tokyo to Osaka is about 14,000 yen one-way.
- a: How long will it take to get there?
b: About three hours one-way. - a: I'd like to buy a ticket to Sacramento, please.
b: Are you flying one-way or round-trip? - A round-trip ticket from New York to London costs about $600 on that airline.
Take care!
