check in”指“(旅客登机前)办理登机手续”,也可以指“(客人入住酒店时)办理入住手续”。
  例如:“You need to check in two hours before the flight.”(你需要在飞机起飞前两个小时办理登机手续。)
  “He’s just checked in at this Hotel.”(他刚刚在这个酒店办理好入住手续。)

  如果想表示“给某人办理登机手续或入住手续”,则可以说“check sb. in”。
  例如:Airline employees are checking in passengers. (机场工作人员正在给旅客办理登机手续。)

  而“check in sth.”则表示“把某物办理托运”。
  例如:“I said goodbye and went to check in my suitcases.”(我说了再见,然后就去给我的几个箱子办理托运手续。)

  “fly”在本课中指的是“乘飞机飞行”。例如:We decide to fly to Beijing tomorrow. (我们决定明天乘飞机去北京。)
