Test 4-Section 1SECTION 1
[02:26.46ANDREW: Good morning, Clare House Hotel.
[02:28.99Andrew speaking.
[02:30.37I'm the Events Manager.
[02:32.09SAM: Good morning, Andrew.
[02:33.75My name's Samantha.
[02:35.50I'm arranging a party for my parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary, and I'm ringing to ask about hiring a room some time next September.
[02:45.70Also my parents and several of the guests will need accommodation.
[02:50.97ANDREW: OK, I'm sure we can help you with that.
[02:54.48Will you be having a sit-down meal or a buffet?
[02:58.11SAM: Probably a sit-down.
[03:00.39ANDREW: And do you know how many people there'll be?
[03:03.30SAM: Around eighty, I think.
[03:05.71ANDREW: Well we have two rooms that can hold that number.
[03:09.49One is the Adelphi Room.
[03:11.60That can seat eighty-five, or hold over a hundred if people are standing for a buffet.
[03:18.74SAM: Right.
[03:19.96ANDREW: If you have live music, there's room for four or five musicians in the gallery overlooking the room.
[03:28.13Our guests usually appreciate the fact that the music can be loud enough for dancing, but not too loud for conversation.
[03:36.13SAM: Yes, I really don't like it when you can't talk.
[03:39.87ANDREW: Exactly.
[03:41.41Now the Adelphi Room is at the back of the hotel, and there are French windows leading out onto the terrace.
[03:50.10This has a beautiful display of pots of roses at that time of the year.
[03:56.19SAM: Which direction does it face?
[03:58.48ANDREW: Southwest, so that side of the hotel gets the sun in the afternoon and early evening.
[04:05.41SAM: very nice.
[04:06.98ANDREW: From the terrace you can see the area of trees within the grounds of the hotel, or you can stroll through there to the river -that's on the far side, so it isn't visible from the hotel.
[04:20.40SAM: OK.
[04:21.70ANDREW: Then another option is the Carlton Room.
[04:25.39This is a bit bigger - it can hold up to a hundred and ten people - and it has the advantage of a stage, which is useful if you have any entertainment, or indeed a small band can fit onto it.
[04:40.01SAM: And can you go outside from the room?
[04:42.97ANDREW: No, the Carlton Room is on the first floor, but on one side the windows look out onto the lake.
[04:51.25SAM: Lovely.
[04:52.60I think either of those rooms would be suitable.
[04:55.77ANDREW: Can I tell you about some of the options we offer in addition?
[04:59.51SAM: Please do.
[05:00.91ANDREW: As well as a meal, you can have an MC, a Master of Ceremonies, who'll be with you throughout the party.
[05:08.25SAM: What exactly is the MC's function?
[05:11.98I suppose they make a speech during the meal if we need one, do they?
[05:16.56ANDREW: That's right.
[05:18.12All our MCs are trained as public speakers, so they can easily get people's attention - many guests are glad to have someone who can make themselves heard above the chatter!
[05:29.30And they're also your support - if anything goes wrong, the MC will deal with it, so you can relax.
[05:37.64SAM: Great!
[05:38.86I'll need to ask you about food, but something else that's important is accommodation.
[05:45.49You obviously have rooms in the hotel, but do you also have any other accommodation, like cabins for example?
[05:53.62ANDREW: Yes, there are five in the grounds, all self-contained.
[05:59.00They each sleep two to four people and have their own living room, bathroom and small kitchen.
[06:05.62SAM: That sounds perfect for what we'll need.
[06:40.16SAM: Now you have various facilities, don't you?
[06:43.27Are they all included in the price of hiring the room?
[06:47.01The pool, for instance.
[06:48.74ANDREW: Normally you'd be able to use it, but it'll be closed throughout September for refurbishment.
[06:54.75I'm afraid.
[06:56.03The gym will be available, though, at no extra charge.
[07:00.03That's open all day, from six in the morning until midnight.
[07:03.86SAM: Right.
[07:04.69ANDREW: And the tennis courts, but there is a small additional payment for those.
[07:09.67We have four courts, and it's worth booking in advance if you possibly can, as there can be quite a long waiting list for them.
[07:18.26SAM: Right.
[07:18.70Now could we discuss the food?
[07:21.32This would be dinner, around seven o'clock …
安德鲁:早上好,这里是克莱尔豪斯酒店。
为您接线的是安德鲁。
我是活动经理。
萨姆:早上好,安德鲁。
我的名字是萨姆莎。
我正在为我父母五十周年结婚纪念日策划一个派对,我打电话来是想在明年9月某个时候租用一个房间。
我的父母和一些客人将需要住宿。
安德鲁:好的,我相信我可以帮到您。
你们是要桌宴还是自助餐?
萨姆:应该是桌宴。
安德鲁:您知道会有多少人吗?
萨姆:我想大概是80人左右。
安德鲁:我们有两个可以容纳那么多人的房间。
一间是阿德尔菲厅。
它可以容纳85人,或者如果大家是站着吃自助餐的话,可以容纳100人以上。
萨姆:好的。
安德鲁:如果您需要现场音乐,长廊那里有个地方可以俯瞰整个房间,能够容纳四五个乐手。
我们的客人通常会很满意这一点,音乐大到足够跳舞,但又不会打扰到人们的交谈。
萨姆:是的,我真的不喜欢音乐大到无法交谈。
安德鲁:的确如此。
阿德尔菲厅位于酒店的后面,那里设有通往露台的落地窗。
每年的那个时候,都有漂亮的盆栽玫瑰花展览。
萨姆:它面朝哪个方向?
安德鲁:西南方向,所以酒店的那一边下午和傍晚的时候会有阳光照射。
萨姆:非常棒。
安德鲁:在露台上您可以看到酒店区域内的树木,或者您可以从那里漫步到河边,河在远处的地方,因此从酒店看不到。
萨姆:好的。
安德鲁:然后另一个选择是卡尔顿厅。
它要更大一点儿——可以容纳110人——它的优势是有一个舞台,如果您有任何的娱乐项目,甚至是请一支小乐队,它就派得上用场了。
萨姆:从房间里可以去到外面吗?
安德鲁:不行,虽然卡尔顿厅在一楼,但其中一侧的窗户外就是一个湖。
萨姆:不错。
我想两个房间中的任意一个都很合适。
安德鲁:我可以告诉您一些我们提供的其他选择吗?
萨姆:好的。
安德鲁:除了用餐之外,你还可以选择一个MC,即司仪,他将在整个聚会期间与你们在一起。
萨姆:司仪的作用具体是什么呢?
我猜如果我们需要,司仪会在用餐期间为我们致辞,对吗?
安德鲁:是的。
我们所有的司仪都是训练有素的公共演讲者,所以他们很容易引起人们的注意——许多客人都很高兴有人能让他们的谈话被别人听到。
而且他们也会为你提供帮助——如果出现任何问题,司仪会去处理,所以你不用紧张。
萨姆:棒极了!
以后我还要问问你关于食物的事情,但还有一个重要的事情就是住宿。
显然酒店里有房间,但你们还有其他的住宿选择吗,比如小屋?
安德鲁:有的,场地中有五个小屋,都是独立的。
每间小屋可以容纳两到四个人,并有独立的客厅、浴室和小厨房。
萨姆:听上去不错,正是我们想要的。
萨姆:你们有各种设施,对吧?
它们的费用都包含在租用房间的价格中吗?
比如说游泳池。
安德鲁:通常情况下游泳池是可以使用的,但它将在9月关闭进行翻新。
恐怕是这样。
但健身房还是可以使用的,并且不收取额外费用。
健身房全天开放,从早上六点开到午夜。
萨姆:好的。
安德鲁:还有网球场,但要收取一小笔额外费用。
我们有四个球场,如果你们需要的话最好提前预定,因为排队预定的人会非常多。
萨姆:好的。
现在,我们能讨论一下食物吗?
我们需要晚餐,在7点左右……
