2. 酒店登记 Checking into a Hotel

Desk Clerk: Good evening, sir. Welcome to the Comfort Inn.
晚上好，先生。欢迎光临Comfort酒店。
Mr. Lee: Hello. I have a reservation, under the name Lee, Leo Lee.
你好，我预定了房间，姓名是Lee, Leo Lee。

Desk Clerk: Hmmm. I’m not sure if we have you down here. How do you spell your last name?
我不知道是否已经给您登记了。怎么拼写您的姓。
Mr. Lee: It’s L-e-e.
是L-E-E。

Desk Clerk: Oh, right. You’re in our system. I was just looking under Li. So, we’ve got you down for a Business Suite for three days. If I could just have your credit card, I’ll process your check-in while you fill out our resident’s form.
好的，您在我们的电脑里。我原来以为是L-I。我们给您预定了三天的套间。能给我您的信用卡吗？我给您登记，请您填写客户表格。
Mr. Lee: You mean I have to pay now?
你是说我现在就要付钱？

Desk Clerk: Oh no, we just make an impression of your card using our credit card machine. It’s in lieu of a deposit. If everything is OK when you check out, we give it back to you then. It’s pretty standard practice.
不是，我们只是印上你的信用卡号，如果您结账时没有问题我们会把它还给您。这是酒店的行规。
Mr. Lee: I see. I guess you can tell I don’t travel much.
我明白了。你一定能猜出来我很少出门。

Desk Clerk: (later) Here’s your card, sir. You’re all checked in. let me just tell you about a few of our services. We have free breakfast in the lounge from 7:00-9:00. You call the receptionist to arrange for a wake-up call if you like. And checkout time is 2:00. If you check out later than that, we will change you for an extra half-day. Jimmy here is going to take you up to your room.
(later)给您卡，先生。您已经完成登记手续。请允许我向您介绍一下服务项目。早上七点到九点在休息厅有免费早餐。如果您需要，可以给前台打电话要求叫醒服务。下午两点退房。如果晚了，会多收您半天的钱。Jimmy会带您上楼去房间。
