Leo: Perhaps this will interest you.
在以前的课文中我们学习了向客人提出建议时会用到的一个短语，
那就是MAY I SUGGEST……..而利奥刚才所说的PERHAPS THIS
WILL INTEREST YOU 则是提出建议时的另外一种客气的说法。请注
意听录音并跟着重复。
Perhaps this will interest you.
Perhaps this will interest you.
现在让我们来听听利奥和杰克是如何讨论价格的吧。
杰克: 这个活动收费多少钱呢，利奥？
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
利奥: 您也看到了，这个活动的收费是非常合理的。
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
在询问收费情况时，杰克用了一句在澳洲非常流行的说法，那就是
HOW MUCH WILL THAT SET US BACK？ 而利奥在形容收费标准时则使
用了REASONABLE 这个词，表示这样的收费标准既不低廉，也不过
高，而是属于合理的范畴之内。请听对话并跟着重复。
Reasonable.
Reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
As you can see…
As you can see…
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
为了向客人进一步推销乘船观看海豚的活动，利奥还引用了第二天
的天气预报。不言而喻，如果你在与客人讨论未来的旅游行程时能
够附带提供相关的天气预报，其效果就是有可能会对客人选择哪一
个行程产生影响。值得注意的是利奥在这样做的时候使用了两个很
有效的形容词， COLOURFUL 五彩缤纷，和PERFECT 绝好的，非常
适合的。接下来就让我们一起来做一些练习。请您先听中文翻译，
然后请重复英文句子。
晴朗天气。

让我们再一起来听一遍这段对话的第二部份，请在利奥的句子后面
跟着重复。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you.
Leo: It’s a dolphin watch harbour cruise.
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
Mona: Oh this looks good.
Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow.
Leo: Perfect for a cruise.
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
Leo: You can do both!
Leo: The cruise takes four hours…
Leo: … and the parade doesn’t start until after sunset.
Jack: Sounds good to me.
