Li: 大家好，欢迎收听《地道英语》现在我和 Rob 就在机场等飞机。So Rob, here we are, about to fly off on a holiday of a lifetime.

Rob: Hmm, but I don't think you'll be flying anywhere with those things in your hand-luggage.

Li: Why? What's wrong with this giant bottle of suntan cream - it was cheaper than buying a small one.

Rob: Maybe, but you can't take that on board - it's more than 100 millilitres - you won't get through security¹.

Li: Oh, I can't take that on board - 是啊，超过一百毫升液体不能袋带上飞机。

Rob: And Li, what do you need that penknife for?!

Li: In case I need to peel an apple? Maybe?

Rob: Li! You can't take that on board either!

Li: Oh, 水果刀也不能带上飞机。

Rob: Honestly Li, don't you ever read the notices? Look, it says here, no sharp objects and no large bottles of liquid. I really think you need to do some preparation before you fly.

Li: 上飞机前要按照规定做好准备。Oh OK, I'll take that on board.

Rob: Don't be stupid, you can't actually take 'preparation' on board. It's only objects... things... that you take 'on board' a plane, or a bus... or even a train.

Li: Rob, it's a phrase. 'I'll take that on board' 意思是我将认真考虑和接受你的建议。So I'm not physically² moving it.

Rob: But you could say you're moving some information into your brain?!

Li: I suppose so, but I think these examples will illustrate³ the phrase better...

If that shop wants to succeed it needs to take on board the views of all its customers.

My brain aches! I need to take on board so many concepts⁴ and ideas if I'm going to pass this exam.

Drivers are beginning to take on board the safety message that speeding kills.

Li: 大家从以上例句中可以看出 to take something on board 意思就是理解并认真考虑。So Rob, have you taken on board the meaning of this phrase?

Rob: Absolutely. And have you taken on board the safety and security information?

Li: Of course - so I'll just put these items in the bin⁵. Oh, gone!

Rob: Right, our flight's ready for boarding now.

Li: Good... but I've got a very large handbag. 我的手提行李特重，因为我喜欢出门度假的时候把所有需要的东西都随时带在身上! Would you mind carrying it for me?

Rob: OK Li, if I must... Oh, Li, this is extremely heavy. Ouch. This is something you really won't take on board.

Li: Oh really?

Rob: Yes. Your handbag can't weigh any more than 15 kilograms.

Li: I see. More information that I'll take on board!

Rob: Yes, next time remember what I've told you before you get to the airport. Come on we'd better go home. Bye for now.

Li: 好吧，那我们就下次的《地道英语》节目再会了！Bye!
