Marisa: When we go to our favorite vacation spot in two months, let's stay at a different hotel.
玛丽莎:当我们去我们最喜爱的度假胜地的这两个月,让我们住在一个不同的酒店吧。
Oscar: I like the hotel we always stay at. It's in a convenient location and we're already familiar with it.
奥斯卡:我喜欢我们一直住的那个酒店,那里位置很方便,而且我们都熟悉那了。
Marisa: That's just it. It's tried and true, but there's no novelty and excitement in staying in the same place year after year.
玛丽莎:是啊,那里住过之后确实感觉很好,但是年复一年的呆在同一个地方没有新鲜感也没有兴奋感了。
Oscar: I don't need novelty.
奥斯卡:我不需要新鲜感。
Marisa: Let's just consider some of these other hotels I've been reading about. They are very highly ranked and their ratings are very good.
玛丽莎:就让我们考虑一下我发现的其他酒店吧,他们排名很高,而且评价都很好。
Oscar: You're putting strangers' reviews above our own experience?
奥斯卡:你把陌生人的意见置于我们自己的经验之上。
Marisa: Of course not, but just look at this hotel. It received three stars out of four, and it has a lot of pros.
玛丽莎:当然不是啦,但你看一看这个酒店,它是一个三星级酒店,很多人都推荐这个酒店。
Oscar: Let me see that. It also has some cons, such as being noisy and pricy.
奥斯卡:让我看一下,这个酒店有一些缺点,例如,比较嘈杂,而且价格贵。
Marisa: Okay, maybe that isn't the best example. I didn't notice that they got dinged on those things, but let's look at a few others.
玛丽莎:好的,也许这不是最好的例子。我并没有发现他们说这个酒店有这些毛病,但是我们可以再看一些其他的。
Oscar: I'll keep an open mind, but I'm dubious about online reviews. I take everything I read with a grain of salt. The only people who post reviews are those who love it or hate it.
奥斯卡:我不会对这些抱有成见,但是我信不过这些在线评论。我对所有我读到的评论都半信半疑,评论它的人不是喜欢它的人,就是讨厌它的人。
Marisa: I'll just find a hotel that everyone loves.
玛丽莎:我会找到一个大家都喜欢的酒店的。
Oscar: And that doesn't break the bank?
奥斯卡:那样不会让我们倾家荡产?
Marisa: Right.
玛丽莎:是啊!
