你好,我有一个快递要寄到酒店。应该今天到。酒店能帮我签收吗?
Of course! We accept packages for our guests all the time. What's the name on the delivery and which carrier is it coming through?
当然!我们经常帮客人收快递。快递上的收件人姓名是什么?是哪家快递公司?
It's under Wei Wang, room 815. It's an Amazon delivery. I ordered some cold medicine because my wife isn't feeling well.
收件人是Wei Wang,815房。是Amazon快递。我给太太买了些感冒药因为她不舒服。
Got it — Wei Wang, room 815, Amazon delivery. We'll sign for it when it arrives and give you a call or send a text to let you know. Would you like us to bring it up to your room, or will you pick it up at the front desk?
好的——Wei Wang,815房,Amazon快递。到了我们会签收并打电话或发短信通知您。要我们送到房间还是您来前台取?
Could you have someone bring it up? I don't want to leave my wife alone right now.
能让人送上来吗?我现在不想让太太一个人待着。
Of course. As soon as it arrives, we'll have a bellman bring it right up to room 815. Is there anything else we can do? We also have a small shop in the lobby with basic medicines and snacks if you need anything sooner.
当然。一到我们就让行李员送到815房。还有什么需要帮忙的吗?大堂也有小商店卖基本药品和零食,如果您急需的话。
That's very kind of you. I think we'll be okay once the medicine arrives. Thank you!
你真好。药到了应该就没问题了。谢谢!
You're welcome. I hope your wife feels better soon. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything else.

Sending a Package · 寄送包裹
intermediateI bought too many souvenirs and my suitcase is full. Can I ship a package from the hotel?
我买了太多纪念品,行李箱装满了。能从酒店寄包裹吗?
Absolutely. We have a business center that handles shipping. We can ship via FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Where would you like to send it?
完全可以。我们的商务中心可以处理寄件。可以通过FedEx、UPS或USPS寄送。您要寄到哪里?
I need to ship it to China. How much would it cost and how long would it take?
我要寄到中国。多少钱,要多久?
For international shipping to China, FedEx Express takes about 3 to 5 business days and costs around $80 to $120 depending on weight and size. USPS Priority Mail International is cheaper — about $40 to $60 — but takes 6 to 10 business days. Which would you prefer?
寄到中国的国际快递,FedEx快递大约3到5个工作日,费用根据重量和尺寸大约80到120美元。USPS国际优先邮件便宜些——大约40到60美元——但需要6到10个工作日。您选哪个?
I'll go with USPS since it's not urgent. Do you have boxes I can use? And is there anything I can't send?
选USPS吧,不着急。有箱子可以用吗?有什么不能寄的吗?
We have shipping boxes in a few sizes — small, medium, and large. They're $3 to $8 depending on size. As for restrictions, you can't send liquids over 500ml, batteries, or any food items like fresh fruit or meat. Sealed, packaged snacks are usually fine though.
我们有几种尺寸的快递箱——小、中、大。根据尺寸3到8美元。关于限制,不能寄500毫升以上的液体、电池或新鲜水果、肉类等食品。密封包装的零食一般没问题。
Good to know. It's mostly clothes and some chocolate. I'll need a medium box. Can you help me fill out the customs form?
好的。主要是衣服和一些巧克力。我需要一个中号箱子。能帮我填海关申报单吗?
Of course. I'll help you with the customs declaration form. You'll need to list each item, its value, and the country of origin. For chocolate, just mark it as 'food/confectionery.' I'll get you the box and packing tape as well.
当然。我帮您填海关申报单。您需要列出每件物品、价值和原产国。巧克力写「食品/糖果」就行。我也给您拿箱子和封箱胶带。
You're a lifesaver. I'll bring everything down to the business center in 20 minutes.
你帮了大忙了。我20分钟后把东西拿到商务中心。
