那這一個如何?曼谷皇宮飯店,離國際機場只有幾分鐘的路程而且一個晚上只要美金五十元。

Jocelyn: Let me see… It's really cheap but it's too far away from downtown. Wait a minute, did you just say "Bangkok Palace Hotel?" I heard that it's haunted! Do you remember the movie "The Eye?" The hotel is near the frightening scene in that movie.
我看看... 它真的很便宜,不過離市區太遠了。等等,你剛剛是說「曼谷皇宮飯店」嗎?我聽說那裡鬧鬼耶!記不記得「見鬼」那部電影?那個飯店就在電影裡驚悚場景的附近啊!

Brian: Okay, okay! Stop telling me about those scary things. Do you have any preferences?
好啦,好啦!不要再跟我說那些恐怖的事了。那你有比較喜歡哪一間飯店嗎?

Jocelyn: I have no idea. How about giving me a few days? I will surf on the Internet and come up with a list of hotels and prices. I'm sure we'll be able to find something that will satisfy us.
我也不知道耶。不然給我幾天時間好不好?我上網找資料,然後把飯店和價錢都列出來。我保證我們一定可以找到讓我們滿意的飯店。

Brian: I hope so.
希望如此。
