A: 我下星期要去中國。中國的酒店貴嗎？

I am going to China next week. Are the hotels there expen- sive?
B: 那要看你去哪裡。大城市，比如北京和上海比較
貴。你的預算是多少？

That depends on where you are going. Big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are more expensive. What is your budget?
A: 我會去上海和海南。我想住差不多50美金一晚
的。要乾淨，出入方便，最好還能上網。

I am going to Shanghai and Hainan. I want to spend about 50 dollars per night. The hotel has to be clean and conve- niently located. It would be great if they also have internet connection.
B: 50美金在上海能住市中心三星級的酒店。海南的酒店現在很便宜，因為是淡季。50美金可以住四星級，甚至五星級的酒店。不過住不了海景房。

50 dollars can get you into a 3-star hotel in downtown Shanghai. It’s very cheap to stay in a hotel in Hainan now because it’s the off season. 50 dollars can get you a 4 or even 5-star hotel. But you won’t get a room with an ocean view.
A: 真的嗎？那我去海南真是挑對了時間。我聽說上海有許多經濟型連鎖酒店。大概200入民幣一晚。這種酒店位置和設施怎麼樣？

Really? I’ve picked the right time to go to Hainan then. I heard there are many budget hotel chains in Shanghai priced at around 200 rmb per night. Do you know anything about their location and facilities?
B: 我上次去上海就是住這種酒店。我把訂房電話告訴你。我住的那家交通方便，而且很乾淨。房間裡還有無線上網。很多揹包旅行客甚至商旅客入都喜歡那裡。

I stayed in one of those hotels on my last trip to Shanghai. I will give you the reservation number. The one I stayed at is conveniently located and very clean. It also had a wireless internet connection in the room. Many backpackers, even business travelers like it there.
A: 太棒了！我就選這家，然後用省下的錢去海南升
級住海景房。

Terrific! That’s my pick then. I will use the left over money to upgrade to an ocean view room in Hainan.
