A：Is everything ready now?都準(zhǔn)備好了嗎?

B：Almost. The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel. As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married, it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive.差不多了，就剩酒店了。因?yàn)槟翘煊泻芏嗳私Y(jié)婚，很難找到價(jià)位適合的酒店。

A：Have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job.你試過王府半島酒店嗎?我的婚宴就在那兒辦的，辦的很好。

B：That's why we want to have a look at other hotels. We don’t want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception.所以我們想再看看。我們不想在婚宴上太鋪張。

A：I guess you're right. I can help you ask other hotels. I am sure there are probably some available.說的也是，我可以幫你問問其它酒店，肯定有一些還沒訂滿。

A：My pleasure.別客氣。
