麗莎：嗨，我是舊金山來的麗莎•慕迪波恩。我訂了房間的。
艾里克：波恩？B-U-R-N-S？
麗莎：是的。我訂的應(yīng)該是一間正對著中庭，外面有陽臺的單人房。
艾里克：抱歉，波恩小姐，我們沒有您的訂房記錄。您有確認(rèn)號碼嗎？
麗莎：不，沒有。
艾里克：喔，很抱歉，我無能為力。
麗莎：你們還有空房間嗎？
艾里克：有陽臺的房間都住滿了，不過我們還有一間雙人房，價格和單人房一樣。
麗莎：我要了。房間號碼是多少？
艾里克：321房。
麗莎：謝謝你。電梯在哪里？
艾里克：沿著走廊走到底，就在左邊。
Notes
1. reservation的動詞形式是reserve，意為“預(yù)定”，例如：
to reserve a flight 訂機(jī)票
to reserve a hotel room 訂旅館
to reserve a table (for two) 訂餐廳（兩人）桌
to reserve a car 訂出租車
2. do本身是一個動詞，have也是動詞。但是在這里，do沒有實際意義，只是加強了have的語氣，作用和一個副詞相當(dāng)。
Cultural Background 文化背景
旅館的房間通常稱為suite（套房），聽起來會讓人感覺房間比較高雅一些，它的這種內(nèi)涵是room所沒有的。
當(dāng)我們說到地址、旅館或公寓號碼時，一般人常會將號碼逐個念出來，如，three-twenty-one(321)，而不念成three hundred and twenty-one（三百二十一）。

辛迪：你們在那里呆了多久？
蓋瑞：三天。我忘了帶防曬油。
辛迪：你看來曬得蠻嚴(yán)重的。怎么會這樣？你是不是在沙灘椅上睡著
了，然后被烤焦了？
蓋瑞：才不是！我去玩風(fēng)帆沖浪了。
辛迪：你覺得怎么樣？
蓋瑞：易如反掌！
辛迪：是嗎？你是因為玩風(fēng)帆沖浪才曬成這樣的？
蓋瑞：哎呀！學(xué)習(xí)總是需要一點時間的。
辛迪：而且……
蓋瑞：而且我在水里好像有點團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)…… 或許我應(yīng)該先學(xué)學(xué)。
辛迪：邦妮怎么樣？
蓋瑞： 她玩得很愉快。她只是去慢跑、游泳…… 還有，就是呆在曬不著的地方。
Notes:
1. “A piece of cake!”是常見的說法，意思是“十分容易”，和漢語中的“小菜一碟”意思相近。
2. “I kind of...” 通常是一個人在要說出實際情況時猶豫不決的用法。
3. “get stuck”是比較口語化的說法以，表示“to be trapped”（受困，通常指一小段時間）。
