办入住只需要三样
办入住只需要三样:一句话、一本护照、一张卡。开口就说:"Hi, I have a reservation under Wang."——under + 姓名 表示「预订在谁名下」,是这句的关键介词。然后递护照:"Here's my passport." 前台多半还会要卡:deposit(押金)是预授权冻结,退房自动解冻,不是多收钱。
Good evening! Checking in? Could I see your passport, please?
Hi, I have a reservation under Wang.
前台的「数字轰炸」提前听熟
前台交接是一段数字轰炸,套路固定:
Here's your key card — room 1208.(房卡和房号)
Breakfast is from 7 to 10 on the second floor.(早餐几点、在哪层)
Check-out is at 11.(退房截止时间)
想问 wifi 就一句:"What's the wifi password?"
Here's your key card — room twelve oh eight, on the twelfth floor. Breakfast is from seven to ten on the second floor, and check-out is at eleven.
报修、换房、退房、寄行李
房间出问题,报修一句话:"The air conditioning isn't working. Could you send someone to take a look?"(isn't working = 坏了,万能)。想换房:"Could I change rooms?" 退房:"I'd like to check out, please."——晚班机就把行李寄存前台:"Could I leave my luggage here until 3?"
The air conditioning isn't working. Could you send someone to take a look?
Could I leave my luggage here until three? Our flight is in the evening.

到前台表明自己订了房,地道说法是?
答案:I have a reservation under Wang.
「预订在某人名下」的固定介词是 under。of Wang 是「的」的直译;"My name Wang, I book a room" 缺动词缺时态;"Wang's room, please" 像取外卖——前台需要的是「有预订」这个信息。
前台说:Could I have your credit card for the deposit? 他要卡做什么?
答案:做押金预授权,退房时解冻
deposit 是押金:刷预授权冻结一笔额度,退房检查无误自动解冻,不是多收钱。不明白这个机制的旅客常在这一步紧张——其实是全球标准流程。
前台说:Check-out is at 11. 意思是?
答案:最晚 11 点前要退房
Check-out is at 11 = 退房截止时间是 11 点。想多住一会儿可以问 late check-out:Could I have a late check-out?(可能收费或看空房情况)。
房间空调坏了,打给前台怎么说最有效?
答案:The AC isn't working. Could you send someone to take a look?
报修公式 = 说清坏了什么 + 请对方派人:isn't working + send someone。抱怨「酒店很差」没给出任何可执行信息;"is opened" 是「开」的直译再现(电器开着是 on,开机是 turn on);「有点热」太含糊,前台不知道该修还是该调温。
报预订名字(填一个英文介词):I have a reservation ___ Chen.
答案:under
a reservation under + 名字 = 预订在某人名下。餐厅订位、酒店订房通用这个句式。
判断:中午退了房、航班在晚上,行李只能自己拖着逛——酒店没有帮已退房住客保管行李的服务。
答案:错
行李寄存(luggage storage)是全球酒店的标配免费服务,一句 Could I leave my luggage here until three? 就搞定。很多新手真的拖着箱子逛了一下午——退房不等于服务结束。
