I hung up the phone and turned off the ringer. I didn’t want any more unsolicited phone calls. But then, there was a knock on the door.
我挂掉电话,关掉手机铃声。我不想再接那些来电。但这时,有人敲门。

Before I closed the door, I put the do-not- disturb sign on my door. I wanted no more interruptions.
关门之前,我把请勿打扰的牌子挂在门上,我不希望再有人打扰。
All of a sudden, a loud alarm went off. I opened my door and a hotel employee was explaining that there was a small fire in the kitchen and that the guests were being evacuated. We would have to leave the building immediately.
突然,大声警报传来。我打开门,旅馆的服务员解释说厨房着火了,客人都已被疏散。我们需要立刻离开这座大厦。
I left my hotel room and wondered if there was a vast conspiracy to rob me of my sleep or if I’m just the unluckiest guy in the world!
我离开旅馆房间,想知道是还有很多阴谋不能让我睡觉呢?还是我就是世上最不幸的那个人呢?
