英语求助

Sorry, sir, sorry, sorry
“We’ve got a small problem,” I said to the man at the check-in desk in Washington. “I’m booked in on this flight to London, but I’ve only today discovered that they tore off the Washington to London part of the ticket on the shuttle from the New York, leaving the shuttle ticket still here.”
最后一句that后面的子句什么意思？

Answer 1

首先告诉你 “Shuttle”一词指短程的往返于区间的飞机,火车, 汽车等, 此处应指从纽约到华盛顿的往返班机。

从前文不难推断出句中两个“the shuttle”指的都是“the shuttle from New York toWashington”; 事实上作者所买的是联乘机票, 分为两部分(parts) , 即从New York 到Washington 和从Washington 到London 的两张
机票, 才会有撕错票的意外。

所以噻~~
that 后面的句子意思是：他们撕去了从华盛顿到伦敦的那张票,却留下了纽约到华盛顿的班机票。
