【双语对话】

Melanie: I found this hotel close to a residential area. It's not in Miami Beach but it's only a 15-minute uber drive. What do you think?

我找到了一个在一个住宅区附近的酒店。它并不在迈阿密海滩，不过距离只有15分钟的优步车程。你觉得如何？

Coco:If we take uber every day wherever we go, that is going to amount to some money since we are staying for a week. How much are hotels in the city center?

如果我们每天去哪里都打优步，那就会积累成不少钱因为我们要待一周。市中心的酒店多少钱？

Melanie: It's a significant difference of $100 per night. Oh wait, the Marriott is doing a promotion next week for some conference that is happening in the city, and it is offering 50% off if you spend more than 3 nights at the hotel.

是明显的一晚100刀的差价。等一下，万豪下周因为城市里举办的什么会议所以打折，如果待3晚以上，折扣是50%。

Coco: If you add up all the uber, it's probably going to match this price. Let's go with the Marriott. I have some points that we can redeem for a couple nights.

如果(之前的酒店)加上所有的优步，差不多会和这个价持平。咱们订万豪吧。我有些积分，也许能换几晚。

Melanie: Fantastic. I am looking at the double rooms with 2 queen beds. Is it a good size?

太好了！我在看双人间，两张双人床。大小合适吗？

Coco: Yeah that's enough space for all of us. I will take Lucas and you can take Sara. But if Lucas can't calm down, I may need your help.

够我们所有人了。我带卢卡斯，你带莎拉。不过如果卢卡斯不能冷静，我也许需要你的帮助。

Melanie: Don't worry I will just take Lucas. No tacos for him if he does not behave.

放心吧。我带卢卡斯吧。如果他不听话，就没有塔可吃。

Coco: Woo that is harsh! You know he is obsessed with tacos. And basically, every restaurant in Miami offers tacos.

嚯够狠的！你知道他超级喜欢塔可。而且基本上迈阿密的每家餐厅都有塔可。
