Narrator
欢迎回到 Tip Top 贸易公司,大家看起来都有点儿手忙脚乱的。
Paul
… and we really need the best biscuits there are.
Denise
Yes, and I’ve made sure there’s tea and coffee…
Paul
… and the carpets?
Denise
Uh?
Paul
… have they been cleaned?
Denise
Don’t panic Paul, all taken care of.
Narrator
你看,美国总部的大老板 Mr Socrates 突然到这里来,所以什么事情必须都得做好,不能出错。安娜,你对他的印象如何啊?
Anna
Well, so far he seems OK. A bit bossy, quite short and… a bit smelly!
Narrator
他从美国飞了很久才过来。你帮他订了五星级的酒店,希望他能好好休息洗漱一下。
Anna
I hope so! Oh, I had better get that. Hello? Ah hello Mr Socrates, did you sleep well? Oh! I see… I see… erm… well… oh, I don’t know… Tom said it was five-star… well… OK… goodb- Oh, he’s hung up.
Paul
Everything OK Anna? You look a bit pale.
Anna
It was Mr Socrates. He’s not happy.
Paul
Golly gosh, oh dear. What’s the matter?
Anna
It’s his hotel room. He doesn’t like it. The bed’s too soft, too small and it’s a single room not a twin room.
Paul
Oh yes, he likes to have two beds in the room for some reason.
Anna
But Tom said he only likes a single bed in the room.
Paul
Really? Oh no, he insists on a twin – something to do with business partners he says. Anything else?
Anna
Yes. He says he wanted freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast, not the stuff out of a carton.
Denise
Anything else?! A view of Mount Everest perhaps?
Paul
Yes, thank you Denise. Well, we really must sort this out. We can’t afford to upset Mr Socrates. Now Anna, you chose this hotel, I really think you need to sort out this mess.
Anna
It was Tom’s suggestion…
Paul
Just sort it, quickly. Oh golly gosh, golly gosh.
Narrator
Uh oh,安娜,你得去投诉了,不过说什么好呢?
Anna
Oh... I don’t know. I’m not very good at complaining.
Narrator
Well,安娜。保持平静,要有礼貌的告诉酒店你的不满。你可以说:
I’m very disappointed with your service. 你们的服务让我非常失望。
The standard of service is not good enough. 服务质量明显不够标准。
The room I booked did not meet my expectations. 我订的房间和我的期望相差太远了。
安娜,祝你投诉成功!
Anna
OK. Here goes.
Receptionist
Hello. Royal Imperial Hotel.
Anna
Erm... hello… I want to… I want to complain.
Receptionist
Really? About what exactly?
Anna
Your hotel… Well, I mean, a room I booked for my boss. Room 101. I’m very disappointed with your service.
Receptionist
And why’s that then?
Anna
Well, the room isn’t like the one I booked. It’s just not good enough.
Receptionist
Hmm. Let’s have a look at that booking… well your boss got a bed… and a breakfast too… a continental breakfast in fact.
Anna
But the room just didn’t meet his expectations… hello?
Denise
Give me the phone Anna, I’ll deal with this. Now hello Miss…?
Receptionist
Miss Fit.
Denise
Miss Fit? This is the office assis- I mean the manager here. This isn’t good enough. My colleague has made it quite clear that the room did not meet our requirements and I would like you to resolve this matter as quickly as possible or I will have to cancel our reservation.
Receptionist
Sadly, we have no other twin rooms available and anyway…
Denise
Alright, I’d like to speak to your manager please. Really!
Narrator
Denise 还是有经验的。 她肯定碰到过这种情况, 不过找经理投诉能解决问题吗?让我们来复习一下投诉时能用得上的表达:
I’m very disappointed with your service.
The standard of service is not good enough.
The room I booked did not meet my expectations.
要求解决问题,你可以说:
I would like this matter resolved as quickly as possible,
或者:
I would like to cancel my reservation and get a full refund.
不知道 Denise 解决问题了吗?
Paul
So have you managed to sort out Mr Socrates?
Denise
Oh yes, Anna’s got him a new room.
Paul
Thanks Anna, I’ll let him know. And what about the orange juice?
Anna
Errr…
Denise
Freshly squeezed, every morning!
Paul
Oh golly gosh, that reminds me, we need some here in the office. He’s going to be here any minute and he says he’s got some important news for us.
Narrator
好了,我们下次节目再会,bye-bye。
