出差在外，到宾馆登记，如果顺利还好，如果不顺利，那可就糟糕了。

R: Good morning. Can I help you?
R：早上好。我能为您做些什么吗？

T: Good morning. I think there should be two rooms booked for us? In the names of Tony Marshall and May Hunter.
T：早上好。我们订了两间房，名字是托尼o马歇尔和梅o亨特。

R: Umm, just a moment.
R：请稍等。

T: We're attending the 'Sun, Sea and Sand' conference and exhibition.
T：我们是来参加"太阳、海洋和沙滩"会展的。

R: Well sir, I'm afraid you have nothing booked. All we have left are two small rooms at the front of the hotel. They will be a bit noisy I'm afraid, as there is a pub opposite.
R：抱歉，先生，你们没有预订过房间。我们现在还剩两个宾馆前面的小间。恐怕会有点吵，因为对面有个酒吧。

T: What? That's terrible! How did that happen? What do you want to do May? Should we find somewhere else?
T：什么？太糟糕了！怎么会这样呢？梅，你打算怎么办？我们去找其他宾馆吗？

M: Well, I suppose we have no choice, really. It's too late to find another hotel now. We'll just have to take them.
M：我觉得我们没有选择了。去找其他的宾馆太迟了。我们就住这两间吧。

R: Right, so that's all booked now. We'll need you to sign a credit card voucher in advance.
R ：好的，那么就订这两间房了。你们需要提前签一下信用卡的单据。

T: OK. Oh no, I can't seem to find my card. And where's my wallet?
T：好的。哦，不，我找不到信用卡了。我钱包哪去了？

M: Did you leave it somewhere? In the taxi?
M：你把它丢在哪了吗？出租车上？

T: Oh no! I think I did, I left my wallet in the taxi. I put it on the seat when we got in. Oh what a disaster!
T：哦，我想是的，我把钱包忘在出租车上了。我们上车的时候我把它放在座位上了。太糟糕了！

R: Careful sir, your briefcase!
R：先生，小心，你的公文包！

T: Aaagh! All over the floor. All my papers!
T：啊！我的文件散了一地！

R: Not to worry sir. We'll soon get them together.
R：别担心，我们马上就能收好。

T: Sorry, May. What a mess, oh what a mess! I'll have to phone the taxi company to see if they found my wallet. Em, by the way, can you lend me some change for the phone?
T：对不起，梅。太乱套了，太乱套了！我得给出租车公司打电话，看他们能不能找到我的钱包。哦，对了，你能借我点钱打电话吗？

M: OK. Here you are.
M：好的，给你。
