Key Card Not Working · 房卡失灵

basic
You

Hi, my key card isn't working. I've tried it several times but the light stays red.

你好,我的房卡不好使了。试了好几次,灯一直是红的。

I'm sorry about that. Key cards can get demagnetized if they're kept near phones or other electronics. Let me reprogram it for you. What's your room number?

很抱歉。房卡如果放在手机或其他电子设备旁边可能会消磁。我帮您重新编程。您的房间号是?

You

Room 815. I think I had it in my pocket with my phone — that's probably what happened.

815房。我好像把它和手机放在同一个口袋里了——可能就是这个原因。

That'll do it. May I see your ID just to verify? It's standard procedure when we reissue key cards.

那就对了。能看一下您的证件核实一下吗?重新发卡时需要核实身份,这是标准流程。

You

Here's my passport.

给您我的护照。

Thank you, Mr. Wang. Here are two new key cards. A tip to keep them working — put them in a separate pocket or in the card sleeve we provide, away from your phone and wallet.

谢谢,王先生。给您两张新房卡。小建议——把房卡放在单独的口袋或我们提供的卡套里,远离手机和钱包。

You

Good tip. I'll keep them separate this time. Thanks!

好建议。这次我分开放。谢谢!

You're welcome! If it happens again, just come down or call the front desk and we'll sort it out right away.

不客气!如果再出问题,下来找我们或打电话,我们马上处理。

Locked Out of Room · 被锁在门外

basic
You

Excuse me, I'm locked out of my room. I left my key card inside when the door closed behind me.

不好意思,我被锁在门外了。门关上时房卡忘在里面了。

Don't worry, that happens more often than you'd think! Can I see some identification and confirm your room number?

别担心,这种情况比您想的常见!能看一下证件并确认房间号吗?

You

I'm in room 815. Unfortunately, my passport is also inside the room. I only have my phone with me. I can show you my booking confirmation email.

我住815房。不巧护照也在房间里。身上只有手机。我可以给你看预订确认邮件。

That's okay — the booking confirmation will work. Let me pull up your reservation to cross-check... Yes, that matches. I'll have someone come up with you to open the door. For security, we can't just hand out a new key without verifying your identity.

没关系——预订确认可以。让我调出您的预订记录核对一下……对上了。我派人跟您上去开门。出于安全考虑,我们不能不核实身份就发新房卡。

You

I understand. Thank you for being thorough — I appreciate the security.

理解。感谢你这么仔细——我很感谢这种安全措施。

Our security team member will meet you at your room in about 2 minutes. They'll open the door and then I'd suggest coming back down to get a fresh key card once you have your passport. That way we have proper verification on record.

安保人员大约2分钟后在您房间门口等您。他们会开门,然后建议您拿到护照后下来重新办一张房卡。这样我们的记录里有正式的身份验证。

You

Will do. I'll come right back down with my passport. This won't happen again — I'll be more careful!

好的。我拿到护照马上下来。不会再发生了——我会更小心的!

No worries at all! It really does happen to everyone. A good trick is to always tap your pocket for your key card before you let the door close.

完全不用担心!真的每个人都会遇到。一个好方法是关门前先拍拍口袋确认房卡在身上。
