今天的这段对话，在讨论理想酒店，
 
有特色的酒店很多，对你来说什么样的酒店是最理想的
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: So Mike, you know the other day my friends and I were talking about ideal hotels. What is your ideal hotel?
 
迈克，那天我和朋友聊了一下我们理想中的酒店。那你理想中的酒店是什么样的？
 
B: Well, there are many hotels that would appeal to me but I'd say my ideal hotel would number one have to have a gorgeous view from the room. And if we're talking about idealistic, I would choose a hotel that is suspended over the water, just off the beach. And my ideal hotel would be not a hotel where the rooms are all connected but rather rooms being separate villas or bungalows and those villas to be situated just above the water so when you wake up in the morning, you're literally above the water already. You're already on the beach and to get from your room to the beach you have to walk out and you wade in the water until you get to the beach, so a place like that, definitely my ideal hotel would be, you know, something like that.
 
有很多酒店对我很有吸引力，不过我理想中的酒店首先房间要能看到美景。如果我们在谈的是理想化情况的话，那我会选择那种建在水上、在沙滩旁边的酒店。我理想中的酒店不应该是那种房间连在一起的酒店，而是那种单独的别墅或是有凉台的别墅，而且这些别墅要建在水上，这样早上一醒来，你就已经在水上了，你已经在海滩边了，从房间出去前往海滩，你要趟水过去，这种地方是我理想中的酒店，我希望住在这样的酒店里。
 
My ideal hotel would have to be situated in nature and I would really love it to have a location that would provide me with opportunities to do a lot of cool activities. You know, perhaps adventure stuff in nature dealing with animals that type of thing, being able to see the local color of the area. So that would probably be my ideal hotel.
 
我喜欢的酒店要建在大自然中，我非常希望酒店建在那种能让我有机会进行很多活动的地方。比如，可以让我在大自然中探险，有机会见到各种动物，可以领略当地的独特色彩。这是我理想中的酒店。
 
One other point I would like to make is that the hotel would have to have unbelievable food and I think a hotel with good food and not just good food but a lot of options for food. So when you wake up in the morning and you go for breakfast buffet, you have a choice of virtually any different type of food that there is. A lot of good hotels are limited to what kind of food they offer even if the food is high quality so that would be another aspect for me that would be quite important for my ideal hotel.
 
还有一点，我希望酒店能提供美味的食物，我认为一家酒店不仅应该提供美味的食物，还要提供多种食物以供选择。当你早上醒来去吃自助早餐时，你可以有很多种不同的选择。许多优秀的酒店都限制食物种类，虽然他们提供的食物质量很好，可是对我来说，食物的多样性是我对理想酒店的另一个重要要求。
 
A: Yeah, it sounds like a nice hotel what you just described.
 
好，听起来你刚刚描述的是家不错的酒店。
 
B: Yeah, absolutely.
 
当然了。
