第二十四讲: 退房
Lesson 24: Checking Out (continued)

Jack: Leo, I have a query. This amount, under newspapers.
Leo: Ah yes. I see the problem.
Leo: You’ve been charged for the local newspaper.
Jack: But Leo, I never ordered a local paper. I can’t read Chinese you
see.
Leo: You’re quite right.
Leo: I’m terribly sorry about that.
Leo: I’ll fix it right away.
Leo: There, problem fixed.
Jack: Thanks. 

杰克: 利奥，我有个问题。请问这个在报纸项目下的款项是怎
么回事呢？
Jack: Leo, I have a query. This amount, under newspapers.
利奥: 哦，我明白了。这是向您收取的当地报纸的费用。
Leo: Ah yes. I see the problem. You’ve been charged for the local
newspaper.
杰克: 但是，利奥，你知道我从来也没有定过当地的报纸啊，
我根本不懂中文呀。
Jack: But Leo, I never ordered a local paper. I can’t read Chinese you
see.

利奥: 您说得很对。出了这样的错误我真的很抱歉。我立刻就
改正这个错误。
Leo: You’re quite right. I’m terribly sorry about that. I’ll fix it right
away.
利奥: 好了，改过来了。
Leo: There, problem fixed.
杰克: 谢谢你。
Jack: Thanks. 

Leo: Ah yes. I see the problem. You’ve been charged for the local
newspaper.
在这句话中，利奥一下子就发现了错误的原因，那就是帐单上列出
了一项当地报纸的费用，可实际的情况是杰克从来没有定过这份报
纸，因为他根本就不懂中文。在这句话中，利奥用了这样的说法: I
see the problem, 我明白了。。。另外，利奥还说you’ve been
charged for …这是向您收取的。。费用。不知您是否还记得，在
以前的课文中，当蒙纳对她的帐单产生疑问时，利奥曾经使用过这
样的短语: that’s for …..这是。。。的费用。完整的句子是
That’s for the dry cleaning. 这是干洗的费用。I see the problem.
I see the problem.
You’ve been charged for the newspaper.
That’s for the newspaper.
You’ve been charged for the dry cleaning.
That’s for the dry cleaning.
现在让我们一起来听听利奥在确认杰克的帐单出现问题时是怎么说
的。
利奥: 您说的很对。
Leo: You’re quite right.

利奥: 出了这样的错误我真的很抱歉。
Leo: I’m terribly sorry about that.
利奥: 我立刻就改正这个错误。
Leo: I’ll fix it right away.
利奥: 好了，改过来了。
Leo: There, problem fixed.
我们曾经在第七讲中学习过sorry, 对不起，这个词汇的用法。所
以在这里我就不重复了。不过我要提醒各位的是在英语中道歉并不
一定表示错误的原因在你，我们说sorry 的用意更多的是在于就给
客人带来的不便表示一种歉意。
You’re quite right.
I’m terribly sorry about that.
I’ll fix it right away.
There, problem fixed.
好，现在让我们再听一遍这部份对话的录音。Jack: Leo, I have a query. This amount, under newspapers.
Leo: Ah yes. I see the problem.
Leo: You’ve been charged for the local newspaper.
Jack: But Leo, I never ordered a local paper. I can’t read Chinese you
see.
Leo: You’re quite right.
Leo: I’m terribly sorry about that.
Leo: I’ll fix it right away.
Leo: There, problem fixed.
Jack: Thanks.

该如何向客人告别。

Enjoy your trip.
Have a pleasant trip.
在我们与客人告别时，如果你知道客人是直接返家，那么你就可以
祝福他们归途平安顺利。你可以这样说: Have a safe journey
home. 祝你们回家的旅途平安。请跟着英语老师一起练习。
I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay.
Enjoy your trip.
Have a pleasant trip.
Have a safe journey home.
