Mona: I don’t understand.
Leo: Please let me explain. I’m saving up to study hotel management
in Australia. So I work for Five Star Tours in my spare time.
各位听众朋友，您现在收听的是澳大利亚澳洲广播电台为您制作的
“旅游业英语”教程节目。
第十四课: 导游
Lesson 14: The Tour Guide
接下来我们学习对话的后半部份，首先让我们来听听利奥是如何向
客人们介绍他自己做导游的资历的。
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification,
and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
Mona: But…
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide…
Wouldn’t we, Mona?
Mona: I suppose so.
Leo: Thank you Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Call me Jack.
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
I have some brochures to show you.
我们再听一遍这段对话，我会在每一句话之后把句子翻译成中文。
蒙纳: 我还是不太明白这是怎么回事。
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
利奥: 我向您保证，怀特女士，我有导游资历证书，而且我在
这个行当里已经工作了七年了。
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification,
and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
蒙纳: 可是。。。。
Mona: But…
利奥: 我知道这个城市中所有最好的旅游路线。
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!

杰克: 我相信你，利奥。我们也非常高兴你做我们的导游，是
不是这样啊，蒙纳？
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide…
Wouldn’t we, Mona?
蒙纳: 我想是吧。
Mona: I suppose so.
利奥: 谢谢你们，蒙纳女士和怀特先生。
Leo: Thank you. Ms White, Mr Webber.
杰克: 你就叫我杰克好了。
Jack: Call me Jack.
利奥: 谢谢您，杰克。好吧，现在请你们跟我一起到那边的客
厅去，我想给你们看一些小册子。
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
I have some brochures to show you.
让我们一起来听听利奥是如何说服蒙纳女士的。
利奥: 我向您保证，怀特女士。
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White.
利奥: 我有导游资历证书，
Leo: I have a tourism qualification…
利奥: 而且我在这个行当里已经工作七年了。
Leo: …and I’ve been doing this job for seven years.
当你要说服某人或者要取信于某人时，Let me assure you 是一个
非常有用的句型。但是要特别注意的是这个句型并不可以独立使
用，它必须要和一个说明性的从句合在一起才能构成一个完整的句
子。
我向你保证，今天的鱼很新鲜。
Let me assure you, the fish is fresh today.
你放心，我们已经通知警察了。
Let me assure you, the police have been called.

利奥: 好吧，现在请你们跟我一起到那边的客厅去。
Leo: Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
您注意到if you’ll just follow me 这句话了吗？在第十二课
中，商店的售货员在带领蒙纳去收款台时就用了这个句型。现在利
奥在请蒙纳和怀特去客厅时也使用了这个句型。让我们一起来练
习。
If you’ll just follow me.
If you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
If you’ll just follow me to the cashier. 
Mona: I’m still not sure about this.
Leo: Let me assure you, Ms White. I have a tourism qualification,
and I’ve been doing this job for seven years
Mona: But…
Leo: I know all the best tours in the city!
Jack: I’m sure you do, Leo. We would love you to be our tour guide…
Wouldn’t we, Mona?
Mona: I suppose so.
Leo: Thank you Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Call me Jack.
Leo: Thank you, Jack. Now, if you’ll just follow me to the lounge.
I have some brochures to show you. 
Leo: Ms White, Mr Webber. How can I help you this afternoon?
Jack: Hi Leo. We’re after a tour guide.
Mona: Yes, Leo. We want to make the most of our last day. Can you
recommend a good tour guide?
Leo: I can recommend Five Star Tours. They’re very popular.
Mona: We don’t want a group though, Leo. We want a private tour
guide.
