1-- How much do you have budgeted for our trip to Las Angeles?
2-- In total, it should be about $5,000 for the week conference. Would you like to see the breakdown?
1-- Yes, I want to know exactly where the money is going. Give me a detailed report.
2-- First we have the airline tickets, which are $500 per person; with four of us going, that's t$2,000. For our accommodations, we're spending $80 a night ,per room, for five days. That's another $800.
1-- Weren’t you able to find anything less expensive? We're sharing rooms, right?
2-- I have two people to a room. The $80 room rate is the lowest I could find. With the conferece going on that week, all the hotels have inflated their prices, they're making a killing.
1-- So far we have $2,800, what else?
2-- I have budget $25 per peron per day for food expenses. That totals another$800. And for other incidentals, like taxe fees, and tips, I have estimated about $400.
1-- Well, that's only $4000. Didn't you tell me your budget was$5000? Where is the rest of the money?
2-- That's my buffer… I wanted to leave a little room in the budget,just in case---it's better to be safe than sorry.

譯文:
1--我們的洛杉磯之行,你做了多少預算?
2--總共一周的會議,費用應該在5000美元左右.你想看細目嗎?
1--想看,我想知道我們的錢到底花在哪些地方.給我一份詳細的報告.
2--首先是飛機票,沒人500美元,我們四個人就是2000美元.住宿費是每晚每個房間80美元,5天還需要800美元.
1--你不能找到更便宜的旅館嗎?房間是共用的,對嗎?
2--兩個人一間,每間80美元是我能找到的最低價.那一周因為有會議,所有的旅館都上調(diào)了價位—他們想牟取暴利.
1--到現(xiàn)在我們要花去2800美元,還有其他的支出嗎?
2--我給沒人每天的伙食費按25美元計算,總共又是800美元.其他的雜費,像出租車費,小費,我估計還需要400美元左右.
1--好了,這只有4000美元.你不是說你的預算有5000美元嗎?剩下的錢呢?
2--這是我留的備用金…我想在預算里留點余地以防萬一—寧愿穩(wěn)妥免致后悔.
