聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯
A: Good morning, Claire House Hotel. Andrew speaking. I'm the events manager.
A：早上好，克萊爾豪斯酒店。我是安德魯。我是活動(dòng)經(jīng)理。
B: Good morning Andrew. My name's Samantha. I'm arranging a party for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and I'm ringing to ask about hiring a room sometime next September. Also, my parents and several of the guests will need accommodation.
B：早上好，安德魯。我叫薩曼莎。我正在為父母的50周年結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日安排一個(gè)聚會(huì)，我打電話詢問(wèn)明年 9 月某個(gè)時(shí)候租一個(gè)房間的情況。另外，我的父母和幾位客人需要住宿。
A: Okay, I'm sure we can help you with that. Will you be having a sit-down meal or a buffet?
A：好的，我相信我們可以幫你。你們是坐下來(lái)吃飯還是自助餐？
B: Probably a sit-down.
B：應(yīng)該是坐下來(lái)吃飯。
A: And do you know how many people there'll be?
A：你知道會(huì)有多少人嗎？
B: Around 80, I think.
B：我想大概80人。
A: Well, we have two rooms that can hold that number. One is the Adelphi Room, that can seat 85, or hold over 100 if people are standing for a buffet.
A：嗯，我們有兩個(gè)房間可以容納這么多人。一個(gè)是阿德?tīng)柗品块g，可以坐85人，如果人們站著吃自助餐，可以容納100多人。
B: Right.
B：是的。
A: If you have live music, there's room for four or five musicians in the gallery overlooking the room. Our guests usually appreciate the fact that the music can be loud enough for dancing, but not too loud for conversation.
A：如果有現(xiàn)場(chǎng)音樂(lè)表演，可以俯瞰房間的畫(huà)廊里有四五個(gè)音樂(lè)家的空間。我們的客人通常喜歡音樂(lè)音量大到可以跳舞，但又不會(huì)大到不能說(shuō)話。
B: Yes, I really don't like it when you can't talk.
B：是的，我真的不喜歡不能說(shuō)話。
A: Exactly. Now, the Adelphi Room is at the back of the hotel, and there are French windows leading out onto the terrace. This has a beautiful display of pots of roses at that time of the year.
A：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。阿德?tīng)柗茝d位于酒店后面，有法式窗戶通向露臺(tái)。每年的這個(gè)時(shí)候，這里都會(huì)擺放一盆盆美麗的玫瑰。
B: Which direction does it face?
B：它朝哪個(gè)方向？
A: Southwest, so that side of the hotel gets the sun in the afternoon and early evening.
A：西南方向，所以酒店的那一側(cè)在下午和傍晚可以曬到太陽(yáng)。
B: Very nice.
B：非常好。
A: From the terrace, you can see the area of trees within the grounds of the hotel, or you can stroll through there to the river that's on the far side, so it isn't visible from the hotel.
A：從露臺(tái)上，您可以看到酒店場(chǎng)地內(nèi)的樹(shù)木區(qū)，或者您可以漫步到遠(yuǎn)處的河流，所以從酒店看不到它。
B: Okay.
B：好的。
A: Then another option is the Carlton Room. This is a bit bigger, it can hold up to 110 people, and it has the advantage of a stage, which is useful if you have any entertainment, or indeed, a small band can fit onto it.
A：那么另一個(gè)選擇是卡爾頓廳。這個(gè)房間稍大一些，最多可容納 110 人，還有一個(gè)舞臺(tái)，如果您有娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)，或者確實(shí)可以容納一支小樂(lè)隊(duì)，這個(gè)舞臺(tái)就很有用。
B: Hmm. And can you go outside from the room?
B：嗯。能走到外面嗎？
A: No, the Carlton Room is on the first floor, but on one side, the windows look out onto the lake.
A：不，卡爾頓房間在一樓，但一側(cè)的窗戶面向湖面。
B: Lovely. I think either of those rooms would be suitable.
B：很棒。我認(rèn)為這兩個(gè)房間都合適。
A: Can I tell you about some of the options we offer in addition?
A：我可以告訴你我們另外提供的一些選擇嗎？
B: Please do.
B：請(qǐng)說(shuō)。
A: As well as a meal, you can have an MC, a master of ceremonies, who'll be with you throughout the party.
A：除了用餐外，您還可以聘請(qǐng)司儀，即整個(gè)聚會(huì)期間的司儀。
B: What exactly is the MC's function? I suppose they make a speech during the meal, if we need one, do they?
B：司儀的職責(zé)到底是什么？我想他們會(huì)在用餐期間發(fā)表演講，如果我們需要的話，他們會(huì)嗎？
A: That's right. All our MCs are trained as public speakers, so they can easily get people's attention. Many guests are glad to have someone who can make themselves heard above the chatter, and they're also your support if anything goes wrong. The MC will deal with it, so you can relax.
A：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我們所有的司儀都受過(guò)公眾演講者的培訓(xùn)，因此他們很容易引起人們的注意。許多客人都很高興有人能在閑聊中讓他們聽(tīng)到自己，如果出現(xiàn)任何問(wèn)題，他們也會(huì)支持你。主持人會(huì)處理好這件事，所以你可以放松一下。
B: Great. I'll need to ask you about food, but something else that's important is accommodation. You obviously have rooms in the hotel, but do you also have any other accommodation, like cabins for example?
B：太好了。我需要問(wèn)你關(guān)于食物的問(wèn)題，但還有一件重要的事情是住宿。你們酒店顯然有房間，但你們還有其他住宿嗎，比如小木屋？
A: Yes, there are five in the grounds, all self-contained. They each sleep two to four people and have their own living room, bathroom, and small kitchen.
A：是的，場(chǎng)地上有五間，都是獨(dú)立的。每間都可容納兩到四人，有自己的客廳、浴室和小廚房。
B: That sounds perfect for what we'll need.
B：這聽(tīng)起來(lái)很適合我們的需求。
