這句話有兩種意思,一是歡迎客人登機、上船、上車時使用,另一種則是歡迎新人進公司的客套語。

   
A: This is my first time on a cruise ship.
  這是我第一次坐遊輪。
   
B: Welcome on board. Let me show you to your cabin.
  歡迎上船。讓我帶你去客艙。
   
I'm Genevieve, and I just wanted to welcome you on board.
  我是珍妮薇,我只想說歡迎加入我們的行列。
   
  ★你還可以這麼說.......................
Welcome to our team.
  歡迎加入我們團隊。
   
I look forward to working with you.
  我很期待跟你一起工作。
   
Have a great first day!
  祝你第一天一切順利。
   
Welcome to LiveABC.
  歡迎加入 LiveABC。
   
Welcome aboard.
  歡迎到我們公司上班。
   
We're glad to have you on board.
  我們很高興你能加入我們的行列。
   
We're glad to have you aboard.
  歡迎你加入我們的行列。
   
A: This is Carl. He just joined the team.
  這是卡爾。他剛加入我們團隊。
   
B: Well, Carl, we're glad to have you aboard.
  卡爾,我們很高興你能加入我們的行列。
   
  ★你知道嗎?.........................
 

welcome aboard 是「歡迎到我們公司上班」,如果要跟外國人說「歡迎你到台灣」來展現台灣人的熱情,可千萬別說成 welcome you to Taiwan 喔!這樣說可能會讓對方感到尷尬,正確的說法是 welcome to Taiwan,千萬不要加個 you 在裡頭。
