Adrienne: So, Trina, with your new job, you travel a lot, where do you stay when you you're traveling?

埃德里安娜：特瑞娜，你的新工作讓你可以去很多地方旅行，那你在旅行的時候住在哪裏呢？

Trina: I stay in hotels.

特瑞娜：我住在酒店裏。

Adrienne: How do you like that?

埃德里安娜：你覺得怎麼樣？

Trina: I like it. It depends on the hotel though. Some of the hotels we stay in are very, very nice and some of the hotels we stay in are not so nice.

特瑞娜：我喜歡住在酒店。雖然這取決於是什麼酒店。我們住過的有些酒店非常非常棒，而也有些酒店並不是那麼好。

Adrienne: Mm, tell me about the ones that are not so nice.

埃德里安娜：嗯，跟我說說不那麼好的酒店吧。

Trina: Mm, the ones that are not so nice, generally they're just a little bit more messy than the nicer hotels we stay at, so front desk is a little disorganized. The rooms aren't as nice. They aren't as fancy, they aren't as pretty, but they're nice.

特瑞娜：嗯，不那麼好的酒店通常都比好的酒店亂，前臺有點無組織。酒店房間也沒有那麼好。雖然房間不精緻，不漂亮，但是還不錯。

Adrienne: So what do you look for in a good hotel?

埃德里安娜：那你希望好的酒店裏有什麼？

Trina: A comfortable bed, down comforter, English speaking TV, and a bathroom.

特瑞娜：一張舒服的牀，羽絨被，有英語頻道的電視，還要有浴室。

Adrienne: A bathroom in your room you mean?

埃德里安娜：你是說房間裏有浴室？

Trina: Yes.

特瑞娜：對。

Adrienne: Have you ever stayed in a hotel that didn't have the bathroom in your room?

埃德里安娜：你住過房間裏沒有浴室的酒店嗎？

Trina: No, not yet.

特瑞娜：目前還沒有。

Adrienne: OK, well you might some day, and it is nice to have one inside your hotel. Is there anything you ever like to take from the hotels?

埃德里安娜：好，也許你哪天會住這樣的酒店的，不過酒店裏有浴室很不錯。你有喜歡從酒店裏拿的東西嗎？

Trina: Yes, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hairbrush, that's about it.

特瑞娜：有，洗髮水，護髮素，潤膚乳，梳子，差不多就是這樣。

Adrienne: OK, well that's good. Those are all the things you are meant to take away. Have you ever found that you really like a shampoo, or soap or something that you found at a hotel?

埃德里安娜：好，那很不錯。這些都是你要帶走的東西。你有在酒店裏發現你非常喜歡的洗髮水、香皂或是其他的東西嗎？

Trina: Yes, several times, but sometimes you can't ever find it again.

特瑞娜：有，很多次，有時你再也找不到這些東西了。

Adrienne: Ah, that's a good point.

埃德里安娜：嗯，這點說的很好。
