新东方商务口语[17]:寻找酒店 Looking for a Hotel
时间:2018-12-31 作者:英语课 分类:新东方口语商务与个人
没出过差的朋友可以仔细看看下面这段,特别是需要到国外出差的朋友,很多的国外的酒店只接收美金和信用卡结账,有些只接受信用卡。就像我的前老板的不久前的一次中东之行,在迪拜的机场的大型购物中心就只可以信用卡结账,结果有美金也买不成东西,难免扫兴。有可能有出国商务考查的朋友可就要注意这点了。
Hotel 旅馆
1.寻找酒店 Looking for a Hotel
Desk Clerk: Comfort Inn, may I help you?
Comfort酒店,需要帮忙?
Mr. Lee: I’m looking for a hotel near the convention center.
我想找一家在会议中心附近的酒店。
Desk Clerk: You’re in luck! We’re just a two-minute drive from there. Would you like to make a reservation?
您很幸运。我们酒店离那里只有两分钟的车程您想预定房间吗?
Mr. Lee: Not just yet. I have one or two questions. How much for a single?
不用关键。我想问一下情况。单人间多少钱?
Desk Clerk: During the peak season, a single room goes for 50 dollars on a night. But we’ve got a Single Super Saver Special going on right now – only $30 a night. And we’ve also extended our checkout 1 time to 2:00 in the afternoon. And since its low season you might consider taking a double for $50 or a suite 2 for $60.
旺季单人间五十美元一晚。现在我们有“单人间优惠”活动,只要三十美元一晚。我们把退房时间延长到下午两点。现在是淡季,您可以考虑五十美元的双人间和六十美元的套间。
Mr. Lee: That’s a good deal. Since this is a working trip, I wonder if you have meeting rooms where I can get together with some clients.
不错。因为我是出差,不知道你们有没有会议室,我可以见我的客户?
Desk Clerk: Yes, we have five meeting rooms, of various sizes. We can accommodate large meetings and small, informal gatherings 3 as well. Of course, if you have many small meeting, you might consider checking into a suite and working from there. We also have internet hook-ups in each room. It’s perfect for the business traveler.
是的,我们有五个大小不同的会议室。我们可以举行大型会议和非正式的小聚会。当然,如果您有许多小会议,您可以考虑套间,在那里见客人。套间里还有因特网连接,对出差的人非常适合。
Mr. Lee: That sounds great. Do you accept checks?
很好。你们收支票吗?
Desk Clerk: I’m sorry, sir, we don’t. But we do accept all major credit cards.
对不起,先生,我们不收。但是我们接受主要的信用卡。
