Showing the Room

看房间
The hostel owner shows Kathy and Evan the room.
O:Well, do you like it?
E:Gee, it's really nice. I didn't expect such a room at a hostel, uh, I mean...
O:You can speak frankly around me, young man. I know what you mean. After all, this isn't the Ritz! But we have very clean rooms and simple but useful facilities.
E:What if we want to place a call?
O:There are no phones in the room, but you can use the desk phone anytime. We never close the living room, but we request that our guests be considerate of others.
E:Yes, of course. Oh, is this a mini-refrigerator?
O:Yes, it is, but we request that you keep only bottled drinks inside, no food. You can buy your snacks outside and eat them in the living room, dining room, or TV room.
E:That's reasonable. I don't imagine there's air-conditioning.
O:There's no need! This is Amsterdam, not Miami! But there's a ceiling fan if you like.
E:Wow! This is great. We'll take it!
O:I knew you would.
青年旅社的老板带凯西和艾凡去看房间。
老板：怎么样，喜欢吗？
艾凡：哇　，这房间实在不错。我没有想到青年旅社会有这么好的房间，呃，我是说……
老板：年轻人，在我面前你可以坦白说。我知道你的意思。毕竟，这里并不是丽池饭店！但是我们有非常干净的房间和简朴实用的设备。
艾凡：如果我们想打电话呢？
老板：房间里头没有电话，但是你们可以在任何时候使用（客厅）桌上的电话。我们从来不会关客厅的门，但是我们要求房客要体谅别人。
艾凡：那当然。哦，这是迷你电冰箱吗？
老板：是的。但是我们要求里面只能放瓶装饮料，不能放食物。你们可以在外面买点心进来客厅、餐厅或电视间吃。
艾凡：这很合理。我想这里没有空调吧。
老板：没有必要！这里是阿姆斯特丹，不是迈阿密！但如果你们需要的话，天花板上有个电风扇。
艾凡：哇！太棒了。我们就要这间了！
老板：我就知道你们会的。
