出国旅游最频繁使用单词500个 第七章 酒店/住宿
有些国家(大多西方国家)酒店和中国有一点不同:不提供牙膏牙刷,拖鞋。友情提醒:自己提前准备好。如果吃好喝好准备睡觉才发现没有牙膏牙刷,那么大概率晚上要用手指头蘸白水刷牙了。 因为那时候大部分超市都关门了,如果住的不是星级酒店,酒店前台也早就下班了。
至于为什么西方酒店不提供这些小物件。大概是因为这些服务没有列入酒店评级标准,而且有利于环保,酒店也就没有必要多此一举。
入住酒店常用单词和短语如下:
常用单词
Reservation - 预定
Check-in - 办理入住
Check-out - 办理退房
Room - 房间
Key card - 房卡
Lobby - 大厅
Reception - 接待处/前台

Wi-Fi - 无线网络
Amenities - 设施
Gym - 健身房
ID - 身份证件
实用短语
I have a reservation - 我有预定
I'd like to check in - 我想办理入住
I'd like to check out - 我想办理退房
Where is the breakfast served? - 早餐在哪里提供?
What's the Wi-Fi password? - 无线网络密码是什么?
Can I have a late check-out? - 可以延迟退房吗?
Is there a gym? - 这里有健身房吗?
Please don’t disturb - 请不要打扰
场景与案例
住宿过程可以简单分三个部分:办理入住;居住期间可能遇到的问题,比如空调,电视机不工作;退房。
办理入住流程和国内一样:出示预定信息,核实证件,拿到房卡。同样,只要听懂一两个词,就知道前台需要什么。大部分时间,只需要回答Yes,No, Thanks 就足够。
入住期间遇到的问题,绝大部分都是日常问题,都有标准流程来处理。换句话说,我们只要说一两个单词,酒店就知道如何处理。想清楚了这一点,就没压力了。比如电视不工作,就说 TV not working,没有牛奶了,就是no milk. 太吵了,就说my room too noise,change a room please。下面的场景对话仅供参考,没必要要求自己用完整的句子的来表达。简洁,实用,才最高效。当然,记得说please, thanks.
退房流程如今国内国外都十分简化了,大多情况下只需要把房卡还给前台就好。国外的汽车旅馆(motel)不收押金,退房把房卡放入归还箱就可以走了。
之前出去玩住过一个Airbnb (爱彼迎,国内叫做民宿),约定走的时候房东来收钱。走的时候房东说过不来了,你们把钱放在桌子上就好。当时感叹,国外的诚信度真是高。
示例对话
办理入住(Check-in)

Receptionist: I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me reprogram the key card for you. It should work now.

Guest: Perfect, thank you very much.
Receptionist: You’re welcome. Have a safe journey!
国外不同级别的酒店
说到酒店,大家最熟悉的单词是Hotel。一般来说,用这个单词来概括住宿地点是可以的。我们略微展开一点,聊聊不同级别的酒店类型在英语里的称谓。
首先说最熟悉的Hotel。 Hotel多代表中高档的住宿形式,能够提供前台,行李寄存,餐厅甚至SPA,泳池,健身房等服务。比如中文意义上的五星级酒店,可以称之为Hotel。
Motel 直译为汽车旅馆,大多在郊区,提供标准级别的住宿,停车服务,有些好的也有餐饮服务。
Inn 可以翻译为客栈,小旅馆等等,原本指可过夜的小酒馆,提供简单的住宿服务,可以理解国内的连锁酒店,适合对住宿品质要求不高的旅客。
Bed and Breakfast(B&B) 是最本质,最原始形式的民宿。旅客住在主人家的一个房间,主人提供住宿和早餐。这类住宿多位于相对偏远的郊区,酒店相对较少,主人当做一份副业收入那类。这并不意味着住宿体验不好。我曾住过一次B&B,主人家里的布置多有气氛就不说了,早上起来看了主人给准备的早餐,两眼放的光把灯泡都闪瞎了。照片我已经找不到了,在网上找了一张十分类似的,给大家看看(在文章末尾)。那是最难忘的住宿经历之一,胜过太多的的酒店旅馆。
现在我们所说的民宿大多已经商业化运营了,有很多级别,而且大多不与主人同住。现在说民宿,都用Airbnb(爱彼邻)来代替了。
Backpackers /Hostel 背包客,青年旅舍,最适合年轻人的住宿方式,以床为出租单位,特色是低价,共享,社交,有共享的厨房,卫生间等等。出国之前从未住过这类地方,出国之后才发现非常普遍,而且蛮好玩,能遇到世界各地来的朋友。回国之后在西安也住过一次,体验也非常好,不认识的朋友在一块喝酒,聊天,出去玩,每天都能遇到不同的人,很有旅游的感觉。
Resort 是度假村,比Hotel更高级的住宿形式,大多位于景点附近,具有休闲娱乐用途的大型建筑村落。村子内有多项设施,比如Spa,餐饮,甚至赌场,能满足客人的诸多娱乐需求。
Villa 是度假别墅,最高级别的住宿形形式之一,高端,私密,豪华,提供私人服务,适合高端家庭的度假需求。
Villa 私密,豪华,backpacker年轻,热闹,有活力,虽消费水平不同,但是各有各的美好。人生,在于体验,在于经历,能够体会各种各样的美好,才是充实的人生,也是旅游的意义。
