原文+答案解析

218.
W: Yes, sir. May I help you?
M: I have a reservation for tonight. John Durgin.
W: Just a moment, please. Let me check. That's right. You have a reservation for a two-room suite for tonight.
M: I'm afraid there's been a mistake. I only reserve a single room, not a suite.
W: I'm sorry, Mr. Durgin, but this is what is available. Your reservation arrived too late to have a single. There's a large conference in town this week and we're full up.
M: Well, if that's the way it is, I'll have to take it.
W: Please sign the register here. Your suite is 526.
M: Thank you.
W: The lift is on your right, sir, and I'll have your bags sent up in a moment.
M: Fine, thanks.
