第四课: 入住酒店
Lesson 4: Checking In

请注意听新的一段对话的生词与表达方式
利奥: 还有什么可以效劳的吗？
Leo: Now can I help you with anything else?
蒙纳: 请问房间里有闹钟吗？
Mona: Yes, is there an alarm clock in the room?
利奥: 有的。
Leo: Yes, there is.
蒙纳: 有电水壶和茶叶吗？
Mona: And a kettle and tea?
利奥: 有的，每个房间都配备有煮茶的设施。
Leo: Yes, there are tea-making facilities in every room.
蒙纳: 房间里有熨斗吗？
Mona: And is there an iron?
利奥: 我现在就帮您查一下。
Leo: I’ll see to it right away…
利奥: 怀特女士，请出示您的信用卡。
Leo: Now, could I see your credit card please, Ms White?
现在让我们来学习there is 和there are 的用法。当我们要表达
某处有一个物体的时候，我们就要说there is, 例如:there is a
clock。那里有一个闹钟。There is 的缩略语是there’s,
there’s a clock。那里有一个闹钟。此外，在描述的物体是不可数
名词时我们也要使用there is 。不可数名词包括茶叶、水或糖等

等。例如“ There’s tea in the room” 。房间里备有茶叶。在描
述复数的物体时，我们一定要使用there are， 而且这个表述方法
没有缩略语形式，这一点请您特别注意。例如:there are two
guests in the lobby 酒店大厅有两位客人。There are teamaking
facilities in every room。每个房间都有煮茶的设施。请
注意听下面的对话并跟着重复。
There’s a kettle in the room.
There’s a guest in the lobby.
There are two guests in the lobby.
There are tea-making facilities in every room.

在这个句子前面应该使用there is 还是there are. 然后请再对照
录音看看您的答案是否正确并跟着录音再次重复一遍这个句子。请
不要忘记确定在例句前面使用“there’s”, 而不用“there is”。
每个房间都有茶杯。
Cups in every room
There are cups in every room.
每个房间都有咖啡。
Coffee in every room
There’s coffee in every room
美丽的风景。
A lovely view
There’s a lovely view.
604 房间有人。
People in Room six-oh-four
There are people in room six-oh-four.
现在让我们一起来听“入住酒店”新的对话及汉语翻译。

感觉。现在让我们再一起来听听这段对话的后半部分，在利奥的讲
