地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客697: 想要安靜（雙語(yǔ)）

After three days of travel and meetings, I returned to my hotel room ready for some downtime. All I wanted was some peace and quiet so I could get a good night’s sleep.

經(jīng)過(guò)三天的旅行、開(kāi)會(huì)，我回到旅館房間準(zhǔn)備休息一下。我就想要一點(diǎn)安靜的空間，以便睡個(gè)好覺(jué)。

[phone rings] Carl: Hello.

[電話鈴響] 卡爾：你好!

Hotel staff: Hello, Mr. Mendez. I’m calling to welcome you to our hotel. I hope you’re finding everything to your satisfaction.

旅館員工：你好，門(mén)德斯先生，歡迎您入住我們酒店。希望一切的安排能讓您滿意。

Carl: Yes, yes. Everything’s fine. I just want to get some rest right now.

卡爾：是，是，一切都還不錯(cuò)。但現(xiàn)在我想休息了。

Hotel staff: Of course, Mr. Mendez. If there’s anything we can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask.

旅館員工：當(dāng)然可以，門(mén)德斯先生。有什么我們能為您做的，您不要猶豫，可以要求。

I hung up the phone and turned off the ringer. I didn’t want any more unsolicited phone calls. But then, there was a knock on the door.

我掛掉電話，關(guān)掉手機(jī)鈴聲。我不想再接那些來(lái)電。但這時(shí)，有人敲門(mén)。

...

Hotel staff: Hello, sir. I’m here to turn down your bed. May I come in?

旅館員工：你好，先生。我來(lái)是幫你調(diào)低一下床，我可以進(jìn)來(lái)嗎?

Carl: I don’t need the bed turned down, thanks.

卡爾：我不需要調(diào)低床，謝謝!

...

Before I closed the door, I put the do-not- disturb sign on my door. I wanted no more interruptions.

關(guān)門(mén)之前，我把請(qǐng)勿打擾的牌子掛在門(mén)上，我不希望再有人打擾。

All of a sudden, a loud alarm went off. I opened my door and a hotel employee was explaining that there was a small fire in the kitchen and that the guests were being evacuated. We would have to leave the building immediately.

突然，大聲警報(bào)傳來(lái)。我打開(kāi)門(mén)，旅館的服務(wù)員解釋說(shuō)廚房著火了，客人都已被疏散。我們需要立刻離開(kāi)這座大廈。

I left my hotel room and wondered if there was a vast conspiracy to rob me of my sleep or if I’m just the unluckiest guy in the world!

我離開(kāi)旅館房間，想知道是還有很多陰謀不能讓我睡覺(jué)呢?還是我就是世上最不幸的那個(gè)人呢?
