安妮去年夏天刚参加工作，一直没有休过假。她尽量省钱，于是1月份她报名，准备随团去西班牙罗萨斯旅游。8月的第一个周六清早她就飞离了伦敦机场，因为是第一次到国外旅游，安妮很兴奋。在飞机上他们吃了份点心，抵达巴塞罗那机场时，已经有专车在等着接他们去罗萨斯的宾馆了。 到宾馆登记后，她就来到了自己房间，想在晚饭前换换衣服。正要准备下楼时，安妮却发现手提包里的西班牙币不见了。她仔细找遍了所有的行李，怎么也找不到了，钱包里只有一张10英镑的钞票！ 安妮找到了一个地方兑换英镑，只换了很少一点比塞塔（西班牙钱币），但她在这儿还要呆两个星期！在回旅馆的路上,安妮买了一些乳酪、面包和橘子。到了宾馆，她告诉经理，医生建议她不要吃西班牙食物，每天她在这儿只吃早餐。这是可以的，因为她知道旅馆费用里包括了早餐费。 假期以后的日子里,安妮在游泳池里游泳，躺在沙滩上进行日光浴，她还跟另一个旅游者，一个叫简的苏格兰女孩一起远行。但是，当别人要到一些有趣的地方去玩时，她却总是说不舒服。假期其实不坏，只是她总感觉饥饿。毕竟，中午只吃一点水果，晚上只吃一点面包和乳酪是不够的，尤其还是两个星期都是这样！ 假期最后一天的下午，安妮和简躺在沙滩上。简问她为什么从不跟他们一起在旅馆的餐厅里吃饭。那里的饮食真是好极了！安妮把自己缺钱的事全部告诉了她。简看了她一会儿，说：“但是难道你不知道？这次度假的费用是全包呀！” Ann Lived in the Hotel Ann started work last summer, so she didn’t have a holiday. She saved as much as she could and, in January, she booked a package trip to Rosas, in Spain. She left London airport early on the morning of the first Saturday in August. She was very excited, as this was her first trip abroad. During the flight they had a snack, and when they arrived at Barcelona airport, a special bus was ready to take them to their hotel in Rosas. At the hotel，she checked in，and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs, when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn11 find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it! Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas, and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food；she'd just have breakfast each day. This was all right, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast. For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming-pool, or lay on the beach and got a suntan. She also went for long walks with one of the other tourists, a Scottish girl called Jane. However, when the others went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn't bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn't very much... especially not for two weeks! Late in the afternoon of their last day, Ann and Jane were on the beach. Jane asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. The food was excellent. Ann told her all about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn't you know? The price of this holiday includes absolutely everything!” |
