美語情景對話 第964期:Hotel for Her 惠裏奈理想中的酒店

Mike: So we're talking about ideal hotels. What do you think is an ideal hotel for you?

邁克：我們繼續來談理想酒店。你認爲的理想酒店是什麼樣的？

Erina: That's a tough question but when I choose a hotel I would look at where the hotel's located.

惠裏奈：這是個很難回答的問題，不過我選擇酒店時通常會關注的是酒店位置。

Mike: Right.

邁克：對。

Erina: And also the food. So as long as the hotel is surrounded by nature, you know, preferably on the water.

惠裏奈：還有食物。只要酒店在自然環境中就可以，最好建在水上。

Mike: OK.

邁克：好。

Erina: And maybe some mountains in the back and if the food, the breakfast and dinner and all the food that they have is amazing, I'm good, I'm set.

惠裏奈：酒店後面可以有一些山，如果食物，比如他們提供的早餐和晚餐和其他食物很不錯，那我就會定下那家酒店。

Mike: Now what about facilities? I mean, you know, hotels have various facilities whether it's gyms or movie rooms or computer rooms that allow you to do, you know, internet and various things. You know some hotels have pools. Would those be things that you would want in your ideal hotel?

邁克：那酒店設施呢？一般酒店提供各種設施，比如健身房、影視廳、電腦室等，你可以上網或進行其他活動。一些酒店還有游泳池。你希望你理想中的酒店提供這些設施嗎？

Erina: Oh, yeah. Gym, I'm not so interested in because I can, you know, play sports outside when I'm surrounded by nature. Why would I be, you know, inside working out?

惠裏奈：哦，是的。我對健身房不感興趣，因爲我住在自然環境中的話，我可以在戶外活動。我爲什麼要在室內健身呢？

Mike: Right.

邁克：對。

Erina: But in terms of swimming pool, I'm actually interested because when I was looking at pictures, I don't know which country it was, but there's an outdoor pool, infinity pool, that looked like it was connected to the ocean.

惠裏奈：但是我喜歡游泳池，我之前看到過一些圖片，雖然我不知道那是哪個國家，不過那裏有室外游泳池，就是那種無邊游泳池，看起來就像和大海連在一起一樣。

Mike: Oh, wow.

邁克：哇哦。

Erina: And it was just so beautiful and, you know, before I thought why would I swim in the swimming pool when I have an ocean in front of me but, you know, if there is a swimming pool like that at the hotel, I would definitely stay there for a long time.

惠裏奈：那真是太美了，以前我會想，爲什麼我面前有大海我卻要在游泳池裏游泳，但是如果酒店裏有那種游泳池，那我肯定會在那家酒店住很長時間。

Mike: Right. Now what about spa facilities? You know, massages and different spa treatments. Is that something that would interest you in your ideal hotel?

邁克：好。那水療設施呢？比如按摩或其他的水療設施。就理想酒店來說，你會對這些感興趣嗎？

Erina: Oh, yes, yes, for sure. I'm so into massages and yeah, I would definitely want massage room and spas in the hotel. That would be perfect.

惠裏奈：哦，對，會，當然了。我非常喜歡按摩，我當然希望酒店裏有按摩室和水療室了。那就太完美了。

Mike: OK. And, you know, there are some really expensive hotels that offer the service of a personal butler. Do you think that would be necessary for you in your ideal hotel or would that be one amenity that you could do without?

邁克：好。有一些非常昂貴的酒店會提供私人管家服務。你認爲作爲理想酒店來說，這種服務有必要嗎？還是說你認爲可以沒有這種便利服務？

Erina: I think it depends but I don't really, when I'm staying at the hotel I would usually, you know, want to be alone and want to enjoy my time with my family or my, you know, my husband or myself that I actually don't want anyone following me everywhere I go. So, you know, to a lot of people it might be that's a good idea, you know, it's a nice treat to have but I am personally not up for that.

惠裏奈：我認爲這要視情況而定，我入住酒店時通常希望能有讓我和家人單獨相處的時光，或者是享受和丈夫的二人世界，我並不希望我去任何地方都有人跟着我。對很多人來說，私人管家也許是個不錯的主意，可以享受不錯的款待，可是我並不感興趣。

Mike: OK, well it sounds like a pretty nice hotel you've just described.

邁克：好，聽起來你剛剛描述的也是非常不錯的酒店。
