  在《破产姐妹》(Two Broke Girls)今年第四季第6集中,破产姐妹也玩起了风靡全球的airbnb,而她们的房客竟然是维密天使(Victoria’s Secret Angels)!那么airbnb和一般的酒店网站有什么区别呢?如何使用airbnb去歪果仁家里住呢?快来一起学习吧!


  BnB,全称为Bed and Breakfast,是旅馆的一种,一般规模较小,许多由私人经营。BnB并不豪华,但许多店主热情好客,不少人还擅长烹饪,在提供一顿丰盛早餐的同时,也可以给客人提供很多当地的信息。所以对于budget traveler来说,BnB是一个经济实惠的好选择。airbnb这个网站就把全世界有房出租的房东和希望去当地人家里住一住的旅行者连接了起来。
跟破产姐妹一起玩转“Airbnb”
  为了服务全世界的客人,airbnb上的出租信息都是用英语写的。我们来看一看对房屋的常见描述有哪一些:
  The space 房屋:

  oven 烤箱
  microwave oven 微波炉
