日本游客在羅馬的一家餐館里點(diǎn)了兩盤意大利面、魚和水,卻收到了近500美元的賬單,這讓他們大吃一驚
Some restaurant staff are hard-working, honest, friendly, and glad to welcome visitors from abroad to their city. And some staff are out to scam tourists and make a quick buck by lying to gullible travelers about how much they have to pay for food.
一些餐廳的員工工作努力,誠(chéng)實(shí),友好,并很高興歡迎來(lái)自國(guó)外的游客來(lái)到他們的城市。一些工作人員會(huì)欺騙游客,通過(guò)向容易上當(dāng)受騙的游客謊報(bào)食物價(jià)格來(lái)快速賺錢。
Restaurants in holiday-destination Italian cities are notorious for slapping tourists with jaw-droppingly huge and mind-bogglingly unfair bills. For a long time, tourists have been complaining about restaurants found near popular, crowded areas as scamming them out of their cash. The most recent example of this includes two Japanese tourists who were charged 429.80 euros (that’s almost 470 dollars) for ordering two plates of spaghetti, fish, and water at a restaurant in Rome.

That slow-burning anger that you’re probably feeling inside at the restaurant staff as you’re reading this is a desire for justice. The restaurant in question is the Antico Caffè di Marte which can be found in central Rome, near Hadrian’s Tomb (also known as Castel Sant’Angelo).
當(dāng)你讀到這篇文章時(shí),你可能會(huì)在餐廳員工的內(nèi)心感到一種緩慢燃燒的憤怒,這是一種對(duì)正義的渴望。這家受到質(zhì)疑的餐廳是位于羅馬市中心哈德良古墓(也被稱為圣安吉洛城堡[Castel Sant 'Angelo])附近的Antico Caffe di Marte。

According to foreign customers on TripAdvisor, the restaurant is ‘terrible,’ dabbles in ‘disgusting thievery,’ commits ‘scams,’ and is a total ‘rip-off.’ One person even had this to say: “Sharks, be warned.” However, far from everybody reads restaurant reviews before heading out for a bite to eat; especially in a foreign city.
據(jù)TripAdvisor上的外國(guó)顧客說(shuō),這家餐廳“糟糕透了”,還涉足“令人作嘔的偷竊行為”,搞“詐騙”,完全是“敲敲打打”。有人甚至說(shuō):“鯊魚,注意了。然而,并不是每個(gè)人在出去吃東西之前都會(huì)看餐廳的評(píng)論;尤其是在外國(guó)城市。

The incident with the Japanese tourists wasn’t the first and, unfortunately, won’t be the last. More and more cases of Italian restaurants ripping off tourists have made headlines recently.
日本游客的事件不是第一次,不幸的是,也不會(huì)是最后一次。最近,越來(lái)越多的意大利餐館敲詐游客的案件成為新聞?lì)^條。
Among recent scams are these stories of how tourists were ripped off: 81 euros (nearly 89 dollars) for two burgers and three coffees in Rome; 1,100 euros (1,202 dollars) for a meal for four people in Venice; 25 euros (27 dollars) for a single cone of ice cream in Florence. The restaurant in Venice didn’t get off the hook scot-free, though. Its owners were slapped with fines equalling over 10,000 euros (nearly 11,000 dollars).
