AC Not Working · 空调故障

basic
You

Hi, the air conditioning in my room isn't working. I've tried adjusting the thermostat but it's just blowing warm air.

你好,我房间的空调不工作了。我试着调了温控器,但它只出热风。

💡 thermostat(温控器)在北美酒店很常见,是墙上的控制面板。有些需要调到"cool"模式才会制冷。

I'm sorry about that. Have you tried switching the mode to "cool"? Sometimes guests accidentally leave it on "fan only."

抱歉。您试过把模式切换到"制冷"吗?有时候客人不小心设成了"仅送风"模式。

You

Yes, I've set it to cool and turned the temperature all the way down, but it's still warm air.

是的,我已经设了制冷模式,温度也调到最低了,但还是热风。

It sounds like a mechanical issue. I'll send someone from maintenance right away. In the meantime, I can bring you a portable fan if you'd like.

听起来是机械故障。我马上派维修人员过去。同时如果您需要的话,我可以送一台便携风扇过去。

You

A fan would be great, thank you. How long until the maintenance person gets here?

有风扇就太好了,谢谢。维修人员多久能到?

Within 15 to 20 minutes. If they can't fix it tonight, we'll move you to another room. Would that be okay?

15到20分钟之内。如果今晚修不好,我们会给您换房间。可以吗?

You

That would be fine. I'd rather have a working AC than stay in this room.

可以的。我宁可换房间也不想待在没空调的房间里。

Completely understandable. I'll have a room ready just in case. We're also happy to offer a discount on tonight's stay for the inconvenience.

完全理解。我会准备好一个房间以防万一。因为给您带来不便,今晚的房费我们也会打折。
