地道美語聽力播客603:在線評論

Marisa: When we go to our favorite vacation spot in two months, let's stay at a different hotel.

瑪麗莎：當我們去我們最喜愛的度假勝地的這兩個月，讓我們住在一個不同的酒店吧。

Oscar: I like the hotel we always stay at. It's in a convenient location and we're already familiar with it.

奧斯卡：我喜歡我們一直住的那個酒店，那里位置很方便，而且我們都熟悉那了。

Marisa: That's just it. It's tried and true, but there's no novelty and excitement in staying in the same place year after year.

瑪麗莎：是啊，那里住過之后確實感覺很好，但是年復一年的呆在同一個地方沒有新鮮感也沒有興奮感了。

Oscar: I don't need novelty.

奧斯卡：我不需要新鮮感。

Marisa: Let's just consider some of these other hotels I've been reading about. They are very highly ranked and their ratings are very good.

瑪麗莎：就讓我們考慮一下我發(fā)現的其他酒店吧，他們排名很高，而且評價都很好。

Oscar: You're putting strangers' reviews above our own experience?

奧斯卡：你把陌生人的意見置于我們自己的經驗之上。

Marisa: Of course not, but just look at this hotel. It received three stars out of four, and it has a lot of pros.

瑪麗莎：當然不是啦，但你看一看這個酒店，它是一個三星級酒店，很多人都推薦這個酒店。

Oscar: Let me see that. It also has some cons, such as being noisy and pricy.

奧斯卡：讓我看一下，這個酒店有一些缺點，例如，比較嘈雜，而且價格貴。

Marisa: Okay, maybe that isn't the best example. I didn't notice that they got dinged on those things, but let's look at a few others.

瑪麗莎：好的，也許這不是最好的例子。我并沒有發(fā)現他們說這個酒店有這些毛病，但是我們可以再看一些其他的。

Oscar: I'll keep an open mind, but I'm dubious about online reviews. I take everything I read with a grain of salt. The only people who post reviews are those who love it or hate it.

奧斯卡：我不會對這些抱有成見，但是我信不過這些在線評論。我對所有我讀到的評論都半信半疑，評論它的人不是喜歡它的人，就是討厭它的人。

Marisa: I'll just find a hotel that everyone loves.

瑪麗莎：我會找到一個大家都喜歡的酒店的。

Oscar: And that doesn't break the bank?

奧斯卡：那樣不會讓我們傾家蕩產?

Marisa: Right.

瑪麗莎：是啊!
