John: Hi, this is an Intermediate lesson on Chinesepod. My name is John.
Dilu: Hi guys, 我是Dilu
John: And so today we're talking about an issue with...
Dilu: 机票，机票
John: OK, so plane tickets, that's 1st tone, 4th tone
Dilu: 对，第一声和第四声
John: And this is an issue that foreigners in China often have, I think it's partly a cultural issue
Dilu: 嗯，今天呢我们在机场碰到了一个问题
John: Right, and it's related to the names on the 机票 so let's, uh, say no more and listen to the dialogue

Dilu: 好，这是一个机票名字的问题
John: Yeah, so right in the first line of the dialogue we hear clearly what the problem is, what is it?
Dilu: 护照上的名字和机票上的名字不一样
John: OK, 护照上的名字，I'm wondering, can we just say 护照的名字
Dilu: 护照的名字sounds more like the name of the passport
John: The name of the passport, OK, so you want to say the name on the passport, you have to say...

Dilu: 嗯，这个简就是简单的简，称就是称呼的称
John: Yeah, so 称呼 basically a name, right?
Dilu: 对，他的名字可能是Robert然后他的简称就是Rob
John: OK, so it's the short-form
Dilu: 没错
John: Now I want to ask you, what if it's slightly different, like, um, like what if your full name is Francisco and your nickname is Backo (sp?!)
Dilu: 啊，【这个】完全不一样呢
John: So, is that a 简称？
Dilu: 不是，不是，那个，那个就是nickname不是简称

John: OK, so what about from William to Will
Dilu: 嗯，对，这个是简称
John: What about from William to Bill
Dilu: 啊？ Totally different, no
John: OK. Alright, so 简称 is something that you will hear but it's a little bit restricted, it's not the same as nickname
Dilu: 嗯，跟nickname不太一样
John: OK, so what's the problem exactly then?
Dilu: 不一样，不能登机
John: OK, so in this sentence we're missing the word "if", but it's kind of implied, right?
