You

Hi, we'd like to book a karaoke room for tonight. There are six of us.

你好,我们想预订今晚的卡拉OK包间。我们六个人。

Welcome! For six people, I'd recommend our medium room. It fits up to eight comfortably. We charge by the hour — $40 per hour on weeknights, $55 on weekends. Tonight being Friday, it's the weekend rate.

欢迎!六个人的话,推荐我们的中型包间。最多坐8个人比较舒服。按小时收费——工作日每小时40美元,周末55美元。今天是周五,算周末价。

💡 美国和日本的卡拉OK通常是包间制(private room),而非像酒吧卡拉OK那样在公共场合唱。在欧美城市的日式/韩式KTV比较受欢迎。

You

We'll take it for two hours. Is there a minimum drink order?

我们订两个小时。有最低消费吗?

There's a two-drink minimum per person. We have cocktails, beer, wine, soft drinks, and juice. There's also a food menu — fries, wings, and sliders are popular. I can send a server to your room once you're settled in.

每人最低消费两杯饮品。我们有鸡尾酒、啤酒、红酒、软饮和果汁。还有食物菜单——薯条、鸡翅和小汉堡很受欢迎。等你们安顿好了,我可以派服务员去包间。

You

Sounds good. Do you have songs in different languages? We'd like some Chinese songs too.

好的。你们有不同语言的歌吗?我们也想唱中文歌。

Yes! Our system has songs in English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and more. You can search by language, artist, or song title on the touch screen in the room. We have over 50,000 songs.

有的!我们的系统有英文、中文、韩文、日文、西班牙语等多种语言的歌。可以在包间里的触摸屏上按语言、歌手或歌名搜索。我们有超过5万首歌。

You

Perfect. Can we extend our time if we're having fun?

太好了。如果玩得开心的话可以延长时间吗?

Absolutely, just press the service button in your room or come to the front desk. We'll extend in 30-minute blocks as long as the room is available. I'll give you a heads-up 10 minutes before your time is up.

当然可以,按包间里的服务按钮或者来前台说一声就行。只要包间有空,30分钟一个单位地延长。你们时间快到前10分钟我会提醒你们。

You

Great. Where's our room?

好的。我们的包间在哪?

Room 8, down the hallway on the right. The microphones and remote are on the table. If you need help with the system, there's a guide in English on the wall, or just call us. Have fun tonight!

8号房,沿走廊右手边。话筒和遥控器在桌上。如果系统不会用,墙上有英文指南,或者直接叫我们。今晚玩得开心!

You

Thank you! We're going to have a blast!

谢谢!我们一定会玩得超开心!

💡 "have a blast" 是很地道的美式表达,意思是玩得非常开心。

You

Excuse me, we can't figure out how to queue up songs. The touch screen seems stuck.

不好意思,我们不知道怎么排歌。触摸屏好像卡住了。

Let me restart the system for you — it takes about 30 seconds. In the meantime, you can also use our app on your phone to search and queue songs. Just connect to our Wi-Fi — the password is on the table card.

我帮你们重启一下系统——大概要30秒。同时你们也可以用手机上我们的App搜歌和排歌。连我们的Wi-Fi就行——密码在桌上的卡片上。

You

It's working now. How do I adjust the volume and the key? The music is too loud and the key is too high for me.

好了,能用了。怎么调音量和音调?伴奏太响了,调太高了我唱不上去。

Use the remote control — the volume buttons are on the side. For the key, press the up and down arrows next to the music note symbol. You can lower it by one or two steps. The echo and mic volume are also adjustable on the remote.

用遥控器——音量键在侧面。调音调的话,按音符符号旁边的上下箭头。可以降一到两个调。混响和话筒音量也可以在遥控器上调。

You

Perfect. Can we also order another round of drinks? Two beers, one cocktail, and three soft drinks.

好了。我们还想再点一轮饮料。两瓶啤酒、一杯鸡尾酒、三杯软饮。

Sure thing! Which cocktail would you like? Our most popular ones are the Mojito and the Long Island Iced Tea. And for soft drinks, we have Coke, Sprite, ginger ale, and juice.

没问题!想要哪款鸡尾酒?最受欢迎的是莫吉托和长岛冰茶。软饮有可乐、雪碧、姜汁汽水和果汁。

You

One Mojito, please. And three Cokes. How much time do we have left?

一杯莫吉托。三杯可乐。我们还剩多少时间?

You have about 40 minutes left. Would you like to extend? The next slot is open, so you could add another hour if you'd like.

还剩大约40分钟。要延长吗?下一个时段有空,可以再加一个小时。

You

Let's extend for one more hour. When we're done, how do we settle the bill?

再加一个小时吧。结束后怎么结账?

Just come to the front desk when you're finished. I'll bring your bill to the room 5 minutes before your time ends so you can review it. We accept cash, cards, and Apple Pay. Tips are appreciated but not required.

结束后来前台就行。时间结束前5分钟我会把账单送到包间,方便你们核对。我们接受现金、刷卡和Apple Pay。小费不是必须的但欢迎给。

You

Sounds good. This has been such a fun night. We'll definitely come back!

好的。今晚太开心了。我们一定会再来的!

Glad to hear it! We have a happy hour special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays — half-price room rates before 8 PM. Great for a weeknight outing!

很高兴听到这个!我们周二周三有欢乐时光特惠——晚上8点前包间半价。工作日出来玩很合适!
