You will hear a hotel manager talking to her staff about the arrangement of the event to be hold at the weekend.
你將聽到一段錄音，內(nèi)容為一位酒店經(jīng)理向員工講解下周活動的安排。
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
首先，你有些時間看看第十一題至第十五題。
Good morning, everyone. I hope you're all feeling OK after the activities of the last week or so.
大家早上好，但愿在經(jīng)歷了上周這么多活動以后，你們感覺還行。
I know you've all been working very hard recently and we've been exceptionally busy, especially with the wedding last weekend and the trade fair straight after that.
我明白大家最近都非常努力工作，我們最近也額外忙碌，特別是上周辦的婚禮和之后的貿(mào)易展銷會。
And now we have only three days to prepare for the birthday party this weekend.
現(xiàn)在我們只有三天時間來準(zhǔn)備周末的生日派對了。
The events recently have gone extremely well and the hotel is beginning to get a very good reputation, so we need to keep it up.
最近舉辦的活動都非常順利，酒店的好名聲剛傳出去，所以我們要保持好勢頭。
At the moment, we don't have exact numbers of guests, and though we usually only cater for groups of less than fifty, we will have quite a few more than that.
目前我們還沒得到確切的來賓人數(shù)，盡管我們通常只招待五十人以下的團(tuán)體，我們這次將迎來更多客人。
So, as I said, not sure of numbers, but of course we won't go over the maximum of 100.
正如我所說的，人數(shù)未知，但肯定不會超過最多一百人的上限。
But it's likely that we will need all of you to work this weekend, so if any of you can't, please let me know as soon as possible.
但極有可能我們需要你們?nèi)w都在周末上班，所以假如有人不能來，請盡快告知我。
Right, so what time will the event start? Well, the invitation says guests should arrive between 7:30 and 7:45, but our experience is that there are always a few who like to arrive early, so we'll expect the first people at 7:15.
好了，活動什么時候開始？邀請函上寫著，客人們應(yīng)在7:30至7:45到場，但根據(jù)我們的經(jīng)驗，總會有些人喜歡提前到，所以我們預(yù)計7:15就會陸續(xù)有人來了。
As the numbers are quite large, this will certainly be the case.
由于人數(shù)較多，肯定會發(fā)生這種情況。
Food will be served at around 8:30 and then, depending on how long the meal takes, the entertainment will start about two hours later.
在約8:30會開始提供食物，接著得看用餐時間持續(xù)多久，娛樂項目會在大概2小時后開始。
Now for this, we were expecting a live band for the occasion which is always fun, but apparently this has been cancelled due to illness. So, the hosts know someone who is a comedian who will be replacing the band.
說到這，我們本為活動訂了一支樂隊來作現(xiàn)場表演（這總是非常有趣的），但很明顯，這被取消了，因為樂隊成員生病了。所以，會有主辦方認(rèn)識的某位喜劇演員來取代樂隊。
We had hoped that the resident magician who worked here through the summer would be able to help out but they weren't keen on that idea.
我們本來希望夏天曾在這兒工作的本地魔術(shù)師能來幫忙，但他們沒多大興趣。
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you will have some time to look at the questions 16 to 20.
在你聽取剩下的對話內(nèi)容之前，你有些時間看看第十六題至第二十題。
