　　E:Are you surprised?

　　艾凡：你很讶异吗?

　　M:Well, usually people don't stay here that long. Of course, you're welcome to stay as long as you like. We have a couple of rooms available right now. I can show them to you. You can choose the one you prefer.

　　柜台：嗯，通常人们不会住那么久。当然欢迎你们要待多久就待多久。我们现在有几间空房。我可以带你们去看看，你们可以选一个你们喜欢的房间。

　　E:That sounds great. Uh, do you take traveler's checks here?

　　艾凡：听起来很不错。嗯，你们这里收不收旅行支票?

　　M:I'm sorry, but we don't. But there's a bank just down the street where you can cash them. They're open another two hours. Why not choose your room and unpack? Then you can go to the bank.

　　柜台：对不起，我们不收。但有家银行就在这条街上，你们可以在那里兑换现金。银行还有两个小时的营业时间。你们何不先挑个房间并把行李打开呢?然后你们可以到银行去。

　　E:Sounds good. Uh, by the way, I understand the room rate is 25 euros per day, right?

　　艾凡：听起来很有道理。呃，对了，我知道一天的住宿费是二十五欧元，对吧?

　　M:That's right. They're not fancy rooms, but they're clean and have a TV, mini-fridge, and ceiling fan. Ideal for young travelers like you.

　　柜台：没错。房间不是很豪华，但是很干净，有一台电视机、一个迷你电冰箱和一座吊扇。对于像你们这样的年轻旅客是很理想的。
