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.

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，關掉手機鈴聲。我不想再接那些來電。但這時，有人敲門。
...
Hotel staff: Hello, sir. I’m here to turn down your bed. May I come in?
旅館員工：你好，先生。我來是幫你調低一下床，我可以進來嗎?
Carl: I don’t need the bed turned down, thanks.
卡爾：我不需要調低床，謝謝!

Before I closed the door, I put the do-not- disturb sign on my door. I wanted no more interruptions.
關門之前，我把請勿打擾的牌子掛在門上，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，大聲警報傳來。我打開門，旅館的服務員解釋說廚房著火了，客人都已被疏散。我們需要立刻離開這座大廈。
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!
我離開旅館房間，想知道是還有很多陰謀不能讓我睡覺呢?還是我就是世上最不幸的那個人呢?
