Where in particular did you want to go?

你特别想去哪里？

CUSTOMER: Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales.

客户：好吧，我觉得有关鲸的假期不错。

Was it 'Whale Watching'？

那个是叫“赏鲸”吗？

RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience.

接待员：哦，那是我们的赏鲸体验。

It's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.

这个非常受欢迎，它以一个有着漂亮沙滩的小镇为基地。

CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does it last?

客户：好的，一共多长时间？

RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here.

接待员：两天——包括了从这里单程四小时的旅途时间。

CUSTOMER: Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that.

客户：好的，我不想离开的时间再长了。

So is that by coach?

这个是坐长途大巴去吗？

RECEPTIONIST: Actually it's by minibus.

接待员：事实上是坐小巴。

We like to keep those tours small and personal so we don't take a whole coachload of people.

我们想尽量保证团队小些，个性化些，所以我们不会带一大车人去的。

In fact, we only take up to fifteen people on this tour, although we do run it with just twelve or thirteen.

实际上我们这个行程最多只接待15人，但我们经常12或13人成团。

CUSTOMER: Oh, right. So do you run these tours often?

客户：哦好的。你们经常有这类旅行吗？

RECEPTIONIST: Well it depends on the time of year.

接待员：这取决于一年中不同的时间。

Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at the moment it's usually once a month at most.

当然在高峰期，就好比暑假，我们每周末都有，但是现在最多是一个月一次。

CUSTOMER: And when is the next one going?

客户：下一次是什么时候？

RECEPTIONIST: Mmm, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd.

接待员：让我看一下。三周以后会有一次，是4月18号，然后我们要到6月2号才会再有一次。

CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to go?

客户：好的。四月份是去的好时机吗？

RECEPTIONIST: Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year.

接待员：很不错。虽然最好的时间是下半年。

I have to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.

但我不得不说赏鲸只是各种项目之一。

CUSTOMER: Really?

客户：真的吗？

RECEPTIONIST: Yes.

接待员：是的。

The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities.

你们入住的酒店本身就有一流的设施。

It's called The Pallisades.

它叫做帕丽赛兹。

CUSTOMER: The Paris what?

客户：巴黎什么？

RECEPTIONIST: NO, it's actually The Pallisades, P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S.

接待员：不，其实是叫帕丽赛兹，P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S。

It's right on the main beach there.

就在主海滩那里。
