857　We figured it was a joke 我们以为这是恶作剧

Making hotel reservations can be complicated when my last name is Hilton and my boyfriend's is Marriott. Before going to Hawaii for our wedding we booked separate rooms. Delayed flights and lost luggage got us in very late. When we told the clerk our names, his eyes widened. “We gave away your rooms,” he apologized. “When no one showed up, we figured it was a joke.”

预定旅馆这样简单的事情可以变得很复杂，因为我姓希尔顿，而我的男朋友姓马利奥。我们在去夏威夷举行婚礼之前预订了两个房间。可是我们的飞机晚点了，行李也找不到了。等我们到旅馆的时候已经很晚了。当我们告诉服务员我们的名字的时候，他的眼睛睁大了。他道歉说：“你们的房间给别人了。因为没有人来，我们以为这是恶作剧。”（注：希尔顿和马利奥都是著名旅馆的名字。）
