美語情景對話 第963期:Hotel for Him 邁克理想中的酒店
Erina: So Mike, you know the other day my friends and I were talking about ideal hotels. What is your ideal hotel?
惠裏奈：邁克，那天我和朋友聊了一下我們理想中的酒店。那你理想中的酒店是什麼樣的？Mike: Well, there are many hotels that would appeal to me but I'd say my ideal hotel would number one have to have a gorgeous view from the room. And if we're talking about idealistic, I would choose a hotel that is suspended over the water, just off the beach. And my ideal hotel would be not a hotel where the rooms are all connected but rather rooms being separate villas or bungalows and those villas to be situated just above the water so when you wake up in the morning, you're literally above the water already. You're already on the beach and to get from your room to the beach you have to walk out and you wade in the water until you get to the beach, so a place like that, definitely my ideal hotel would be, you know, something like that.
邁克：有很多酒店對我很有吸引力，不過我理想中的酒店首先房間要能看到美景。如果我們在談的是理想化情況的話，那我會選擇那種建在水上、在沙灘旁邊的酒店。我理想中的酒店不應該是那種房間連在一起的酒店，而是那種單獨的別墅或是有涼臺的別墅，而且這些別墅要建在水上，這樣早上一醒來，你就已經在水上了，你已經在海灘邊了，從房間出去前往海灘，你要趟水過去，這種地方是我理想中的酒店，我希望住在這樣的酒店裏。My ideal hotel would have to be situated in nature and I would really love it to have a location that would provide me with opportunities to do a lot of cool activities. You know, perhaps adventure stuff in nature dealing with animals that type of thing, being able to see the local color of the area. So that would probably be my ideal hotel.
我喜歡的酒店要建在大自然中，我非常希望酒店建在那種能讓我有機會進行很多活動的地方。比如，可以讓我在大自然中探險，有機會見到各種動物，可以領略當地的獨特色彩。這是我理想中的酒店。
One other point I would like to make is that the hotel would have to have unbelievable food and I think a hotel with good food and not just good food but a lot of options for food. So when you wake up in the morning and you go for breakfast buffet, you have a choice of virtually any different type of food that there is. A lot of good hotels are limited to what kind of food they offer even if the food is high quality so that would be another aspect for me that would be quite important for my ideal hotel.
還有一點，我希望酒店能提供美味的食物，我認爲一家酒店不僅應該提供美味的食物，還要提供多種食物以供選擇。當你早上醒來去吃自助早餐時，你可以有很多種不同的選擇。許多優秀的酒店都限制食物種類，雖然他們提供的食物質量很好，可是對我來說，食物的多樣性是我對理想酒店的另一個重要要求。Erina: Yeah, it sounds like a nice hotel what you just described.
惠裏奈：好，聽起來你剛剛描述的是家不錯的酒店。Mike: Yeah, absolutely.
邁克：當然了。
