6. Complaint 抱怨

Hotel Manager: I’m Miss Shemp3an. What seems to be the problem?
我是Shemp3an小姐,有什么问题吗?
Guest: Well, apparently I’ve run up quite a bill. I was under the impression that the Junior Executive Holiday Package only cost 250 dollars per night. I’ve just been infomp3ed that it’s actually 500 dollars per night.
我的住宿费算多了。我原以为“初级经理人员假日打包服务”只需要每晚二百五十美元,可前台告诉我要五百元一晚。

Hotel Manager: That’s true. For the Junior Executive Room … three nights … yes, your bill should be $1,500
是的。初级经理人员假日打包服务……三个晚上……没错,您应该付一千五百美元。
Guest: But I definitely was led to believe that a three-night stay would be $750.
但是根据广告,我真的以为是三个晚上七百五十美元。

Hotel Manager: The advertised rate is based on double occupancy.
广告上所说的价格是按两个人一间房算的。
Guest: When I booked the room, your staff didn’t mention this. And the brochure and your promotional mailings do not mention that.
我订房间的时候,你们的职员可没有告诉我这个。你们的宣传册子和推销邮件也都没有说明这一点。

Hotel Manager: Are you quite sure?
是吗?
Guest: Yes. Have a look.
没错,可以看一看。

Hotel Manager: I see. I had no idea our advertising was so misleading. It is here, but it’s in the fine print on the last page.
我没想到我们的广告会对您起误导作用。在这里,它在最后一页的小号字体中。
Guest: Perhaps you could arrange to provide me with a new bill that reflects the advertised rate.
你能按宣传价格给我结账吗

Hotel Manager: Nomp3ally I couldn’t do that. But under the circumstances, I’ll see what I can arrange. Customer satisfaction is our primary aim.
通常是不允许的但是这种情况下,我可以试试看。让顾客满意是我们的首要目标。
Guest: Thank you.
谢谢。
