經(jīng)過三天的旅行、開會(huì),我回到旅館房間準(zhǔn)備休息一下。我就想要一點(diǎn)安靜的空間,以便睡個(gè)好覺。

[phone rings] Carl: Hello.

I hung up the phone and turned off the ringer. I didn’t want any more unsolicited phone calls. But then, there was a knock on the door.
我掛掉電話,關(guān)掉手機(jī)鈴聲。我不想再接那些來電。但這時(shí),有人敲門。
...
Hotel staff: Hello, sir. I’m here to turn down your bed. May I come in?
旅館員工:你好,先生。我來是幫你調(diào)低一下床,我可以進(jìn)來嗎?
Carl: I don’t need the bed turned down, thanks.

Before I closed the door, I put the do-not- disturb sign on my door. I wanted no more interruptions.
關(guān)門之前,我把請(qǐng)勿打擾的牌子掛在門上,我不希望再有人打擾。
All of a sudden, a loud alarm went off. I opened my door and a hotel employee was explaining that there was a small fire in the kitchen and that the guests were being evacuated. We would have to leave the building immediately.
突然,大聲警報(bào)傳來。我打開門,旅館的服務(wù)員解釋說廚房著火了,客人都已被疏散。我們需要立刻離開這座大廈。
I left my hotel room and wondered if there was a vast conspiracy to rob me of my sleep or if I’m just the unluckiest guy in the world!
我離開旅館房間,想知道是還有很多陰謀不能讓我睡覺呢?還是我就是世上最不幸的那個(gè)人呢?
