有你，有我。复杂的人际关系！
Once ourselves is not in a good mood. Maybe
the complaint should be the best way of releasing oneself.

ALBERT: Listen, the heating's broken in my room. When are you
going to come and fix it?
听着，我房间的暖气坏了。你们准备几时来弄好它？
MANAGER: I'm sorry to hear that, sir. I'll get someone right
away. 听到此事我感到非常抱歉，先生。 我立刻派人来。
ALBERT: You'd better. It's freezing up there. And my room's a
disgrace. That maid's useless. I want her replaced.
你最好快点。这里冻死了。还有我的房间很乱。那女佣无能。我想要换一个。
MANAGER: Well, I'll speak to the housekeeper about it, sir,
but I'm sure...
好的，我会跟房主说起这事，先生，但我保证。。。
ALBERT: And that hall porter's another one. Cheeky devil. You
should get rid of him, too. Doesn't know how to treat guests with
respect. And look at the money I'm paying!
还有那大厅的搬运工。厚脸皮的东西！你也应该把他开除了。不懂怎么尊敬对待顾客。还盯着我付小费！
MANAGER: Well, I'm very sorry, sir, but George has been with
us for twenty years and we've never had any complaints about him
until now.
好吧，我感到非常抱歉，先生。但是乔治和我们一起相处有20年了，直到现在我们从来没有听到过有人抱怨他。
ALBERT: And another thing! What are you going to do about
those foreigners in number 27? Carry on all night in that funny
language! Shouting, they were. It shouldn't be allowed.
另外一件事！
你准备怎么处理27号房间的外国人？他们整晚都用那可笑的语言吵闹。那是不被允许的。
MANAGER: If you like,sir, I'll have a word with them and ask
them to be a little more considerate.
如果你需要，先生，我会跟他们提起这事并且让他们稍微做的体量一些。
ALBERT: Yes, do that, will you, then maybe I'll get some
sleep.当然，就按你说的作，那样我才可能入睡。
MANAGER: I'm very sorry you've been distrubed, sir. But are
you enjoying your stay apart from
that? 我感到非常抱歉你被打扰了，先生。但是除那些之外你觉得过的可好？
ALBERT: Well, I don't think much of the restaurant. I can't
get a decent plate of fish and chips. It's all
salad and fancy stuff. And the service is terrible, too.
当然，我觉得餐厅不怎么样。我都吃不到一盘像样的鱼和炸土豆条。净是沙拉和中看不中吃的东西。服务也很糟糕。
MANAGER: Well, sir, I'm sure the waiters try to be as helpful
as they can, but they are very busy at
dinner.当然，我确信服务员们一定尽力在把服务做好，但是用餐时间他们确实很忙。
ALBERT: Well, you should get some more, shouldn't you? You
should be able to afford it. You're charging enough this year,
aren't you?
当然，你应该请更多的人，不是吗？你应该能够支付的起。这年你赚得够多了，不是吗？
MANAGER: I'm very sorry you feel that way about it, sir. If
there's anyting else I can do to make your stay here more pleasant,
please don't hesitate to ask me.
我非常抱歉让你有那样的感受，先生。如果有其他任何我能做的让你呆在这里更舒适的事，请在第一时间内告诉我。
ALBERT: Don't worry, I'll tell you all
right!不用担心，我会立刻通知你！

上述对话可谓句句经典，不用刻意背，应为这些就是你抱怨和被抱怨时最棒的口头禅，再不怕无话可说。
小谈对话：可以通过对话看出，此对话发生在旅店顾客和旅店经理之间。顾客的种种抱怨表达了他对旅馆的种种不满，但我们可以想象，顾客行为似乎有点夸大或过激了。而经理的回答是那样的干练和准确。多年工作经验的他无时无刻都能让一场即将爆发的暴风雨逐渐消退。
疯狂和无理在麻木面前看不到将来。 ——edp2
