櫃臺A: Hi, wellcome to XX hotel. Our servece is the best , and the price is also the best in this city.
(我咧...果真是 BEST. 搶人第一,我可當你們是『土匪』,所以...『無言』回應。)
櫃臺B: ha!ha! You must be too tired. We ll give you a good servece during your vocation.
妹子 :We need a clean, quite and the cheapest room in Istanble. Do you have it now?
櫃臺A: Wow...Both of you are so... lucky! We have one for you.
妹子 :How much?
櫃臺A: $150 per day.
[經過我妹子的翻譯,櫃臺A及櫃臺B似乎面有難色...,再也露不出『燦爛的笑容』,the best 服務馬上弱掉]
櫃臺B: Are you student?
妹子 :Of course!
櫃臺A: (又露出剛剛的微笑)ha...You are so...lucky! We can give you student s price. It s $120.
我 : (ha...我真想撕下櫃臺A的『微笑假面具』,他難道真以為我們是『東方文盲』嗎?看不懂字嗎?我這時,再也忍不住,馬上離開椅子,一手背起我的背包,另一手拉著我的拖箱,作勢往門口走)Thank you for your discount. Too expensive for us. 走吧!妹子!
經理 :Hi, Sweet. Where are you come from?
我 :Taiwan. (ㄟ... sweet? 好像有被佔便宜)
經理 :Tailand?
我 :(泰國?不高興, 明明我說台灣,你有看過這麼白的泰國人?) Taiwan. Formosa.
經理 :(似乎看出我的不耐煩) Oo...sorry! Taiwan. Chinese?
我 :(更不悅) Taiwan, near China. I am Taiwanese, not Chinese.
經理 :(裂嘴 傻笑...) I am so...sorry. 對不起(中文),ごめんなさい(gomennnasai,日文)...可能是別國的對不起發音。Could you please teach me "sorry" in Taiwanese?
我 :(看你還真上進,就告訴你吧!) pie-se (台灣話) but...you said 對不起(中文). I also understand.
經理 :pie-se (台灣話). right?
我 :Yes! (我笑了!)[:)]
經理 :ha...ha... You are a good teacher.
我 :ha...ha... You are a good student. ( 心想...You are a Parrot!實在是...高段的生意人)
[妹子就從電梯走出來對我說話]
妹子 :還算OK! 我到樓上時,櫃臺B就跟我說,他的職權可以USD100。是B&B,早餐很豐富,在頂樓用餐很漂亮。(聽這番話,我就知道妹子已經被『著魔』了!這下子就是『錢』的問題。我可要加油!)
經理 :OK! nice room!
我 :.... (沈默不語...)[:|]
妹子 :nice room! but too expensive for us. We are poor students.
經理 :oh...no! not expensive. I can give you a student s discount. USD 100 per day.
我 :.... (沈默不語...) [:|]
妹子 :(看了我一眼,搖搖頭!) sorry! It s not nice to me.
經理 :oh...no! what price is nice to you?
妹子 :(看了我一眼,對著我說) 你說要多少?
我 :我只能付出一張床UDS10,兩人只能USD20。The room is nice, not suitable us. We don t have enough money becouse my card don t work. (我也急了!自己也說出破英文,希望經理聽的懂!)
妹子 :Could you offer a room of USD20 ?
經理 :Ooo...my god! We service include that the best breakfast, a clean room, and a nice tour guide.
我 :...(沈默不語,我又不是鄉八佬,本姑娘調查過了,這些是基本服務。)
[我只好鬆鬆肩膀+搖頭,準備背行李。]
經理 :wait! wait! Don t move. How long will you stay here?
我 :...(沈默不語,嘿嘿!心想,果真很想做我的生意)
妹子 :three plus two
經理 :It is a nice plan! If you can stay here during Istanble vocation, I can offer a nice price. USD250 for 5 days. (很滿意的笑容)
[經過妹子的翻譯,我依舊搖頭。這會兒,不用妹子的在多說什麼,經理應該就明白我的意思]
經理 :(一副比我還為難的樣子) OK! Today is my birthday.And you are my Taiwanese teacher.I offer you a personal price. Only for you.USD200 for 5 days.(還是露出很滿意的笑容)
[這次,我稍微想一下,算一下...居然還要一晚USD40,跟我預想的一倍差距]
我 :妹ㄚ!你跟經理問,如果不要每天的room clean service,早餐及tour guide 能不能算USD100 for 5天?
經理 :(掛上電話,又露出自滿的笑容) This price is final. I really hope you can accept our sevice. Becouse you are the first custmers where come from Taiwan. So...You are very lucky. This price is the lowest in Istanble and only for you.
妹子 :(妹子可急啦!根本不顧著幫我翻譯,直問...) How much? How much?
經理 :(有點詭異的笑容) USD150 for 5days.
妹子 :(妹子可happy啦!根本不顧著幫我翻譯,直說...) yes.
經理 :(一副very happy 的樣子) OK? Only for you! OK?
[我推推妹子,她才想起要在問我一下]
我 :我看你傻啦!這樣子一個人一晚多USD5,還少早餐、room clean service及tour guide。
妹子 :(心中一揪,慌了!)現在怎們辦?已經說是Final price.
我 :(臉沉了一下,淡淡的露出笑容)Thank you for your kind. My sister feels very happy, and accept it. If this price includes the breakfast, clean service, and tour guide, we will be happy together.
經理 :OK! no problem! Only you! You are smart girls becouse you make a right decision!
I d pay a taxi fee for you when you re going to airport. OK? Are you happy?
妹子跟我:Thank you! Happy Birthday to you!
