今天的這段對話,在討論旅行費(fèi)用,
為了計劃即將來臨的旅行,你計劃機(jī)票和住宿分別花多少錢
來聽今天的講解:
A: So, planning this next trip coming up, we need to start thinking of how much money we need to save, how much money we're going to spend on flight and hotel, and how much we're gonna have to tell the other girls to bring.
為了計劃即將來臨的旅行,我們要開始考慮我們需要存多少錢了,我們要考慮機(jī)票錢和住宿費(fèi)用,還有其他女孩要帶多少錢。
B: Yeah, I actually meant to ask you about that just because it seems that I don't bring enough money, so this year I'm really trying to save more money. Make sure I have enough for everything. Starting with the flight, how much do you think we're gonna pay for flights this year and when do you think we should book to get the best price?
對,我正想問你旅行費(fèi)用呢,我之前帶的錢都不太夠,所以今年我要多準(zhǔn)備些錢。確保我在旅行中有足夠的錢花。我們先說機(jī)票錢吧,你認(rèn)為我們今年的機(jī)票錢會花多少錢?你覺得什么時候能訂到最優(yōu)惠的機(jī)票?
A: Well, flights right now are running about two hundred dollars per person round trip and that includes taxes and everything, but of course the closer it gets to the date of when we're gonna go the less seats are available so they're priced higher. So, I think it's best to book at least two months before we leave and we're gonna be paying probably around two hundred dollars.
現(xiàn)在訂的話,往返機(jī)票費(fèi)用大概是每個人200美元,這是含稅價格,離出發(fā)日期越近,余位就越少,所以價格也會越高。所以我覺得我們最好在出發(fā)前兩個月訂機(jī)票,這樣的話我們每個人的機(jī)票費(fèi)用大概是200美元。
B: Sounds good. I think I'll have the money ready by then. So what do you think we're gonna do about hotel this year? There are gonna be six girls going so I'm thinking we can afford something a little bit more expensive this year, maybe get a nicer room, try new hotels.
聽起來不錯。我認(rèn)為到時候我能把錢準(zhǔn)備好。那你認(rèn)為今年酒店要怎么辦?這次一共有6個女孩,所以我覺得我們今年可以負(fù)擔(dān)得起稍貴一些的酒店,我們可以找間好點(diǎn)的房間,可以試試新的酒店。
A: Yeah, that's true. It's being split between the six of us. We normally budget between a hundred and a hundred and seventy-five dollars per person and that's for three nights. So I think it will be around that range: a hundred, about a hundred and fifty, give or so a little bit.
對,沒錯。我們今年是六個人分?jǐn)傎M(fèi)用。按入住三個晚上來說,一般我們的預(yù)算是每個人100美元至175美元。我認(rèn)為今年的預(yù)算大概在100美元至150美元左右。
B: I think the hardest part about saving money for this trip is because of how much shopping we do, so I think I really need to save the extra money for that because I know we like to spend a lot of money on shopping and also eating out. We've been wanting to do nicer restaurants so how much do you plan on bringing this year?
我覺得最難的就是為旅行存錢,因為不能確定我們會在購物上花多少錢,所以我想今年準(zhǔn)備出備用的錢,因為我們會花很多錢買東西和外出用餐。我們一直想去好一點(diǎn)的餐廳吃飯,你今年的預(yù)算是多少錢?
A: Well, it's hard to say really. We also have to take into account cabs and the gambling we want to do. My normal rule of thumb when I go to Las Vegas is to at least bring a hundred dollars per day, but that doesn't include my money for shopping, so normally to gamble a little bit with, for cabs, and for entrance fees, and shopping is extra on top of that. But that's another problem I've always noticed. People never have change for the cabs. We need to tell everybody to bring one dollar bills and five dollar bills so that they can pay the cabs.
現(xiàn)在很難說。我們還要考慮打車錢和花在賭博上的錢。以我的經(jīng)驗來看,我在拉斯維加斯時每天至少需要100美元,不過這并不包括花在購物上的錢,這筆錢包括了用來賭博的錢、打車錢、門票錢,但是不包括購物費(fèi)用。我還注意到了一個問題。在打車的時候人們通常都沒有零錢。我們要跟其他人說,讓她們準(zhǔn)備一美元紙幣和五美元紙幣,用來付打車錢。
B: Not only for cabs, but you know in Vegas we're constantly having to tips everybody: the people that carry our bags in, the cab drivers, and even bouncers at the doors for the night clubs when we go dancing, so we definitely need to let everybody to know to be prepared and always have a lot of cash on them — exact change to.
不僅要付打車錢,我們在拉斯維加斯有很多地方需要付小費(fèi):幫我們拿行李的行李員,出租車司機(jī),甚至是我們?nèi)ヌ璧哪羌乙沟觊T口的保鏢,我們肯定要讓大家都準(zhǔn)備好零錢,而且身上要確保有現(xiàn)金。
A: Yeah, or else we end up footing the bill.
對,不然我們最后會為沒有準(zhǔn)備買單的。
