地道美语听力练习:在线评论

Marisa:When we go to our favorite vacation spot in two months, let's stay at a different hotel.
玛丽莎：两个月后去咱们钟爱的度假胜地时换一个酒店住吧。

Oscar:I like the hotel we always stay at. It's in a convenient location and we're already familiar with it.
奥斯卡：我喜欢经常去的那家酒店。那里地理位置方便，而且我们对那里很熟悉。

Marisa:That's just it. It's tried and true, but there's no novelty and excitement in staying in the same place year after year.
玛丽莎：就是因为太熟了。虽然可靠，但每年呆在一个地方，一点儿都不新奇浪漫。

Oscar:I don't need novelty.
奥斯卡：我要的不是新奇。

Marisa:Let's just consider some of these other hotels I've been reading about. They are very highly ranked and their ratings are very good.
玛丽莎：我在网上搜到许多其它酒店，可以考虑一下。有的酒店排名靠前，评级也很高。

Oscar:You're putting strangers' reviews above our own experience?
奥斯卡：你宁愿相信陌生人的评论，而不是自己的亲身体验，是吗？

Marisa:Of course not, but just look at this hotel. It received three stars out of four, and it has a lot of pros.
玛丽莎：当然不是，但是先看看再说吧。这里接待过3/4的明星，有很多正面的评价。

Oscar:Let me see that. It also has some cons, such as being noisy and pricy.
奥斯卡：我看看。也有一些负面的评价，比如说不安静，价格贵。

Marisa:Okay, maybe that isn't the best example. I didn't notice that they got dinged on those things, but let's look at a few others.
玛丽莎：好吧，也许这家不是最好的。我没有在意，没想到有人会数落这种事，但是再看看其它几家吧。

Oscar:I'll keep an open mind, but I'm dubious about online reviews. I take everything I read with a grain of salt. The only people who post reviews are those who love it or hate it.
奥斯卡：我没有偏见，但我怀疑网上的评论。我对看到的每一个评论都持怀疑的态度，因为发表评论的人要么非常爱它，要么非常讨厌它。

Marisa:I'll just find a hotel that everyone loves.
玛丽莎：我会找到一家每个人都爱的酒店。

Oscar:And that doesn't break the bank?
奥斯卡：同时不会让人倾家荡产？

Marisa:Right.
玛丽莎：对。
