Lesson 5: Making Recommendations
各位聽(tīng)眾朋友好. 歡迎您收聽(tīng)“旅游業(yè)英語(yǔ)”第五講,我是澳大利亞澳洲廣播電臺(tái)中文部的節(jié)目主持人馬健媛。這套共二十六講的教材將有助于在旅游及服務(wù)業(yè)工作的人員和說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的顧客溝通。這套教材的每個(gè)單元包含服務(wù)業(yè)中的一個(gè)重要話題的英語(yǔ)對(duì)話。如果您一開(kāi)始的時(shí)候無(wú)法完全聽(tīng)懂對(duì)話的全部?jī)?nèi)容, 請(qǐng)不要著急,因?yàn)槲覀儠?huì)在后續(xù)的課程中反復(fù)講解和練習(xí)這些對(duì)話的內(nèi)容。另外,在每?jī)烧n結(jié)束的時(shí)候, 您都有機(jī)會(huì)復(fù)習(xí)對(duì)話的完整內(nèi)容。也許到時(shí)候您會(huì)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己已經(jīng)掌握了這些對(duì)話中的很多內(nèi)容,并且可以零活地運(yùn)用它們呢。
第五講: 提供建議。
Lesson 5: Making Recommendations
在第五講里,您將學(xué)習(xí)如何向顧客提供建議,您將學(xué)習(xí)并練習(xí)表示距離的句子以及使用短句子肯定的回答問(wèn)題?,F(xiàn)在請(qǐng)聽(tīng)第一部分的對(duì)話,您聽(tīng)到的是酒店前臺(tái)接待員利奧與酒店客人的對(duì)話。
Leo: Hi I’m Leo.
利奧向客人蒙納懷特女士推薦餐館
Mona : Hi, I’m Mona White.
參加這段對(duì)話的還有蒙納懷特女士的父親杰克偉博
And her father, Jack Webber…
Jack: Hi, I’m Jack Webber.
另外,我們還會(huì)遇到當(dāng)?shù)夭宛^的一位女服務(wù)員琴
Jean: Hi, I’m Jean.
好,我們現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)。請(qǐng)聽(tīng)對(duì)話的內(nèi)容和漢語(yǔ)翻譯
利奧: 晚上好,懷特女士和偉博先生
Leo: Good evening, Ms White, Mr Webber.
杰克: 晚上好,利奧
Jack: Good evening, Leo.
蒙納: 我們現(xiàn)在要出去吃晚飯,你能推薦一家好的餐館嗎?離這里不太遠(yuǎn)的。
Mona: We’re going out for dinner now. Could you recommend a good
restaurant? One that’s nearby?
利奧: 金蓮花餐館離這里非常近,那里的海鮮食品很著名,但是如果您喜歡在就餐的時(shí)候欣賞音樂(lè)的話,那我就向您推薦有歌舞表演的珍珠園餐館,您走路就可以到這家餐館。
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close. It’s famous for its seafood.
But, if you like to listen to music while you’re eating, I
recommend the Pearl Garden Cabaret. It’s also within walking
distance.
請(qǐng)注意,在描述大致距離的時(shí)候,我們可以使用不同的說(shuō)法,蒙納在表述說(shuō)想要找一家酒店附近的餐館時(shí)是這樣說(shuō)的。。。。
Mona: One that’s nearby.
而利奧是這樣回答的。。。。
利奧: 金蓮花餐館離這里非常近
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close…
在表述餐館與酒店之間的距離時(shí),利奧還使用了這樣的說(shuō)法:within walking distance,您走路就可以到,和It’s just twodoors down,你要去的地方離開(kāi)這里只有兩個(gè)門牌號(hào)的間隔。請(qǐng)跟著一起重復(fù)下面的句子。
Nearby
It’s nearby
Very close
It’s very close
Within walking distance
It’s within walking distance.
Just two doors down.
It’s just two doors down.
接下來(lái)請(qǐng)聽(tīng)一段新的對(duì)話及中文翻譯
蒙納: 噢,不用了.我們希望找一家安靜的餐館.
Mona: Oh no, we’d like a quiet restaurant.
利奧: 哪我就向您推薦金蓮花餐館.
Leo: Then I suggest the Golden Lotus.
利奧: 往下走兩個(gè)門牌號(hào)碼,就在您的左側(cè)
Leo: It’s just two doors down, on the left.
蒙納: 謝謝.
Mona: Thank you.
杰克: 也許我們明天晚上可以去珍珠園餐館
Jack: Maybe we could go to the Pearl Garden tomorrow night.
請(qǐng)注意,您可以在這段對(duì)話的不同部分聽(tīng)到提供建議時(shí)可以使用的多種表示方法。最常用的說(shuō)法是I recommend, 例如I recommendthe Plaza Hotel。我向您推薦廣場(chǎng)酒店。另外,您也可以說(shuō)I
suggest,例如I suggest the Lotus Restaurant, 我建議您去蓮花餐館。請(qǐng)注意聽(tīng)下面的對(duì)話并跟著重復(fù)。
I recommend.
I recommend the Plaza Hotel.
I suggest.
I suggest the Lotus restaurant.
習(xí)慣上,如果是你主動(dòng)向客人提供建議,那么在句子的前面要使用may 這個(gè)詞,例如:May I recommend the Lotus?我建議您去蓮花餐館。May I suggest the Plaza Hotel?我向您推薦廣場(chǎng)酒店。請(qǐng)?jiān)俾?tīng)一遍對(duì)話,并請(qǐng)重復(fù)利奧的話
Leo: Good evening, Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Good evening, Leo
Mona: We’re going out for dinner now. Could you recommend a good
restaurant? One that’s nearby?
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close.
It’s famous for its seafood.
But, if you like to listen to music while you’re eating,
I recommend the Pearl Garden Cabaret.
It’s also within walking distance.
Mona: Oh no, we’d like a quiet restaurant.
Leo: Then I suggest the Golden Lotus.
Leo: It’s just two doors down, on the left.
Mona: Thank you.
Jack: Maybe we could go to the cabaret tomorrow night.
各位聽(tīng)眾朋友,您現(xiàn)在收聽(tīng)的是澳洲廣播電臺(tái)為您編播制作的“旅游業(yè)英語(yǔ)”
蒙納: 晚上好,請(qǐng)問(wèn)您講英語(yǔ)嗎?
Mona: Good evening. Do you speak English?
琴: 是,我可以講英語(yǔ).請(qǐng)問(wèn)您有預(yù)訂座位嗎?
Jean: Yes, I do。Do you have a reservation?
蒙納: 噢,我們沒(méi)有預(yù)訂。
Mona: No, we don’t.
琴: 請(qǐng)您跟我來(lái)
Jean: This way please.
琴: 您要看一下菜單嗎?
Jean: Would you like to see a menu?
蒙納: 好吧,謝謝您
Mona: Yes, we would, thank you.
琴: 您選菜的同時(shí)要不要先喝點(diǎn)什么?
Jean: Can I get you anything to drink while you decide?
杰克: 請(qǐng)給我一個(gè)淡啤酒,謝謝。
Jack: I’ll have a light beer, thank you.
琴: 您是要當(dāng)?shù)禺a(chǎn)的,還是要進(jìn)口的?
Jean: Local or imported?
杰克: 你們這里有澳洲產(chǎn)的啤酒嗎?
Jack: Do you have Australian beer?
琴: 有的。
Jean: Yes, we do.
杰克: 那就來(lái)一個(gè)澳洲啤酒吧。謝謝。
Jack: I’ll have Australian thanks.
蒙納: 我要一瓶水就好了。謝謝。
Mona: Just a bottle of water for me, thank you.
琴: 好的,沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。
Jean: Certainly.
語(yǔ)法講解。在有些時(shí)候如果我們只是用簡(jiǎn)單的Yes 或者No 來(lái)回答問(wèn)題,聽(tīng)起來(lái)就會(huì)有些過(guò)于生硬。其實(shí)用短句子回答問(wèn)題并不是太難的一件事,而且提問(wèn)者使用的句型中往往就會(huì)包含著某種提示?,F(xiàn)在讓我們一起來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)餐館服務(wù)員琴和她的顧客蒙納及杰克之間的對(duì)話.,請(qǐng)?zhí)貏e注意他們對(duì)話中所使用的短句子。
Mona: Do you speak English?
Jean: Yes, I do.
Jean: Would you like to see a menu?
Mona: Yes, we would, thank you.
Jack: Do you have Australian beer?
Jean: Yes, we do.
您能夠聽(tīng)出其中的奧秘了嗎?其實(shí)問(wèn)話者提問(wèn)句子中的第一個(gè)字就已經(jīng)告訴您應(yīng)該使用什么樣的句型來(lái)回答他的問(wèn)題了。例如如果問(wèn)話者的問(wèn)題是: Is there an iron? 你有熨斗嗎?那么肯定的回答就是: Yes,there is。是,這兒有熨斗。再如: Will you behere long? 您打算長(zhǎng)住嗎?肯定的回答就是: Yes,I will。是,我打算住久一點(diǎn)兒。依此類推。接下來(lái)請(qǐng)您注意聽(tīng)以下的問(wèn)話及肯定的回答,并請(qǐng)您跟著重復(fù)。
Do you speak English?
Yes, I do.
Do you take credit card?
Yes, we do.
Is there a clock in the room?
Yes, there is.
Will you leave on Friday?
Yes I will.
現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)您來(lái)試試看。首先您會(huì)聽(tīng)到中文句子, 然后是這句話的英語(yǔ)表示方法。在鈴聲之后會(huì)有一段間隔,供您用英語(yǔ)短句子做回答。隨后我們會(huì)播放正確的英語(yǔ)答案,最后請(qǐng)您再重復(fù)一遍正確的英語(yǔ)答案。
這附近有餐館嗎?
Is there a restaurant nearby?
Yes, there is.
請(qǐng)問(wèn)你們接受信用卡嗎?
Do you take credit card?
Yes, we do.
你星期天時(shí)就離開(kāi)嗎?
Will you leave on Sunday?
Yes, I will.
現(xiàn)在讓我們一起復(fù)習(xí)一下這段對(duì)話的最后一部分。在琴的句子之后我們會(huì)留出一段間隔,請(qǐng)您利用這段間隔重復(fù)琴的話。
Mona: Good evening. Do you speak English?
Jean: Yes, I do.
Jean: Do you have a reservation?
Mona: No, we don’t.
Jean: This way please.
Jean: Would you like to see a menu?
Mona: Yes, we would, thank you.
Jean: Can I get you anything to drink, while you decide?
Jack: I’ll have a light beer, thank you.
Jean: Local or imported?
Jack: Do you have Australian?
Jean: Yes, we do.
Jack: I’ll have Australian thanks.
Mona: Just a bottle of water for me, thank you.
Jean: Certainly.
