V:All right, Evan. I have your bill here someplace.
老板:好的,艾凡。你們的帳單就放在這里某個地方。
E:Don't hurry. We've had such a wonderful time here in the Netherlands. We're already looking forward to our brief return next month.
艾凡:不急。在荷蘭的這段時間我們玩得非常盡興。我們已經在期待下個月回來這兒作短暫的停留了。
V:I'm glad you had a great time here. Was your stay comfortable with us? A hostel can't compare with a five-star hotel.
老板:我很高興你們在這里玩得很愉快。住在我們這里還舒適嗎?旅社是無法和五星級大飯店相比的。

老板:你們共住了十五個晚上,吃了十二頓早餐、十頓午餐和八頓晚餐??傆嬍?,我算算看……兩個人共美金七百七十五元。
E:No wonder so many people are staying at hostels these days! You can't beat these prices. That would have cost a fortune in a posh hotel.
艾凡:難怪現在這么多人喜歡住青年旅社!價錢便宜無比。如果住豪華旅館可要花一大筆錢了。
