地道美语听力练习:预定房间

2012-11-09来源:和谐英语

Andrea:Help me decide on which type of hotel room to book.
安德里亚:帮我决定订哪一种房间。

George:I want the one with a bed.
乔治:我想订有床的房间。

Andrea:Very funny. We have a choice of different views, and each one is a different price. For instance, a room with a city view is $175 a night and a panoramic view is $275 a night.
安德里亚:太滑稽了。可以根据房间的视野进行选择,房间的价位也不尽相同。例如,可以看到市景的房间订价为每晚175美元,可以眺望城市全景的房间定价是每晚275美元。

George:$275 a night?! That's highway robbery!
乔治:275美元一晚?!简直就是抢劫!

Andrea:If you think that's too steep, there are a few other options. We can get a courtyard room with no view for $120 a night or a room with an obstructed or peek-a-boo ocean views for $130 a night.
安德里亚:如果你认为很不合理,还有其他的选择。我们可以订到没有任何景色可看的庭院式的房间,订价为120美元一晚,也可以订到海景较闭塞的房间,每晚只要130美元。

George:I don't really care which type of room we get as long as we don't end up with a room on the ground floor. I don't like having people walking back and forth outside my window all night.
乔治:我并不是很在乎住什么样的房间,只要我们不是住在地上一层就行。我不希望整晚都听到窗边有行人来回走动。

Andrea:Okay, I can request a room on an upper floor. You really don't have a preference?
安德里亚:好的,我能订到一间高层的房间。你真的没有其他要求了吗?

George:No, not really.
乔治:是的,没有。

Andrea:There is a penthouse room for $400 a night.
安德里亚:这儿有一间楼顶房间,每晚400美元。

George:What?! For that price, I'd better get a view of the Eiffel Tower, the Parthenon, and the Great Wall of China!
乔治:什么?我还不如花这么多钱去埃菲尔铁塔,帕台农神庙或者中国万里长城上去观看风景得了!
