Grammar ReviewRead the following passage and then try to retell what you know about China in English.An Introduction to Hotel Industry1 The word hotel is derived from the Latin w

6、ord hospitale. It means a rented place for sleeping. Webster defines a hotel as a building or institution providing lodging, meals, and service for the public. So a hotel is a building for public modation that furnishes lodging and usually provides meals, beverages, and many personal services. Hotel

7、s often provide entertainment, rooms for meetings, banquets, or balls; shops of various kinds; commodious lobbies; and cafes, bars, and restaurants.II. Text2The hotel industry rebounded during and immediately after World War II, as the volume of travel increased. The postwar hospitality industry, ho

8、wever, has been markedly different from that of the prewar period with the automobile and the jet plane radically affecting the industry, changing travel patterns and leading to the development of different types of hotels. Motels, resort hotels, and convention hotels have been developed to cater to

9、 the varied needs of todays traveling public. At the same time, hotel chains have established themselves as the dominant force in the industry. II. Text3 Motels really came of age during the 1950s. Two main factors contributed to the boom in motel construction. One was the development of the interst

10、ate highway system, beginning in 1956, which encouraged more and more travelers to take to the roads on long distance journeys. The other was the entry of motel chains into the market. Motels increased in size and, for the first time, added a number of services. Restaurants, swimming pools, and in-r

11、oom televisions became standard features. Motels began to attract growing numbers of vacationers in addition to commercial travelers. II. Text4A resort hotel is one that people visit for relaxation, recreation, and entertainment. With the rise in mass tourism, they have been established in great num

12、bers at destinations throughout the world. Resorts, as such, have existed since ancient times. Wealthy Romans used to escape from the cities during the hot summer months and spend the season at the shore, in the mountains, or at spa resorts. The idea of the resort hotel was born in the 18th and 19th

13、 century Europe. And the resort hotel in the United States developed with the expansion of the railroads in the second half of the nineteenth century. All catered exclusively to the rich and to the upper middle class. Families stayed for two or three months and returned to the same hotel year after

14、year.II. Text5A convention hotel is one that caters to large group gatherings. The rise of convention hotels has been one of the developments in the hotel industry, and conventioneers now account for almost 20 percent of all hotel guests. Many downtown hotels saw occupancy levels drop during the 195

15、0s and early 1960s as motels captured a larger segment of the market. In response, some hotels began to add facilities for conventions and other group gatherings as a means of survival. At first, conventions were scheduled for off-peak periods, but as the volume of convention business increased, the

16、y began to be scheduled year-round.II. Text6As now it is the golden age of tourism and every year many new hotels with modern facilities are being built in large cities and resorts all over the world. Besides these new hotels, there are many other hotels which boast of a long history in every city t

17、hat you will visit. Hotels are to be found in every country of the world, in any city with a population of over 10,000 and, very commonly, in places with fewer than 500 inhabitants. It is no wonder that hotel-keeping ranks high among the largest worldwide industries. Although there are no reliable w

18、orld statistics or figures available, an overall view of the industry as it exists in the United States should provide a good picture of the magnitude of this business. II. Text7In America hotel-keeping is the seventh-ranking service industry, coming only after such giants as public transportation a

19、nd restaurant management. In America there are approximately 22,100 hotels, with a total of 1 million rooms. American hotels can modate over two million guests each night of the year and can offer dining facilities for over one million people. Total hotel receipts are presently about $3 billion per

20、year, and hotels have an annual payroll expense of $1 billion.8Hotels that offer more complex services need additional departments. Luxury resort properties may employ people to organize and supervise recreational activities. Large city hotels often have a separate convention department to handle co

21、nferences and other group meetings. Additional staff will be required if the hotel has on-site stores, concessions and garage facilities.II. TextIII. Exercises1.

Motel The word motel means motorist hotel, or motor hotel, and is used chiefly by people traveling by car. Parking space is always available. Motels

37、 are usually located outside the center of town near major roads and are less expensive than hotels. Rates in motels are about $ 10 to $15 per person a day for a room and bath. Motels in and near large cities tend to be more expensive than this; in smaller towns the prices may be lower. Because mote

38、ls are often located outside the center of town, it will probably be inconvenient to stay in a motel unless you have a car or unless the motel is located near public bus or train lines. Although reservations in advance are usually required in motels in busy areas, this is not always the case in less

ExercisesThe End参考译文旅馆业简介 1“旅馆”一词来源于拉丁语 “hospitale”, 意为租来睡觉的地方。韦伯斯特定义旅馆是“为公众提供休息、饮食、服务的楼房或建筑物”。那么，旅馆就是为公众提供带家具的住宿，通常也提供饮食、饮料和许多个人服务等的建筑。旅馆常为人们提供娱乐、会议室、宴会、舞会服务并配有各种购物商店、宽敞的大厅、咖啡馆、酒吧、餐厅等设施。参考译文旅馆业简介 2随着旅行人数的大量增加，旅馆业在二战期间及战后很快又繁荣起来。然而，随着汽车、喷气式飞机等

42、新交通方式的出现极大地影响了该行业，战后旅馆业和战前相比有着极大的不同，由于是旅游方式的改变推动了旅馆业向多元化发展。汽车旅馆、度假酒店、会议旅馆的开发以迎合今天的旅游人群的不同需要。与此同时，旅馆连锁集团的建立使之成为该领域中占有主导地位的力量。 参考译文旅馆业简介 3汽车旅馆真正形成于二十世纪五十年代。有两个主要因素促进了汽车旅馆业的繁荣。其一，始于1956年的州际公路系统的发展，吸引了越来越多的游客取道公路远游。其二，汽车旅馆连锁集团进入市场。汽车旅馆规模的增大，第一次增加了许多的服务项目。餐厅、泳池、室内电视成为其标准特征。汽车旅馆开始吸引了越来越多的度假者以及商务旅行者。参考译文旅馆

43、业简介 4度假酒店是人们放松休闲娱乐的场所。随着大众旅游业的发展，人们在世界各地的旅游目的地建立了大量的度假酒店。自古就有度假胜地。在炎热的夏季到来之际，富有的罗马人常到海边、山里以及温泉胜地以远离城市的酷热。建立度假酒店的想法诞生于十八、十九世纪的欧洲，而美国的度假酒店是在十九世纪后半叶，随着铁路的延伸得以发展的。所有这些酒店都是专门为富人和上层中产阶级服务。那些度假者及其家人都会年复一年地来到同一个宾馆待上两三个月。参考译文旅馆业简介 5会议宾馆是用来满足大型聚会需要。会议宾馆的出现是宾馆业发展的表现之一，开会的人数占其客源的将近20%。二十世纪五十年代和六十年代早期，由于汽车旅馆的发展占

44、有较大的市场，使得许多市中心旅馆的入住率下降。许多旅馆迅速做出反应，一些旅馆开始增加会议及其他团体聚会设施以求生存。起初，会务只安排在淡季，但是随着会议商机的增加，他们开始全年提供此项服务。 参考译文旅馆业简介 6由于现在是旅游的黄金时代，每年都有许多现代化的宾馆在大城市和世界各地的旅游胜地得以建造。除此之外，在你参观的每一个城市里都有引以为豪的许多历史悠久的宾馆。在世界各地任何一个国家，任何一个人口超过10,000的城市以及在居民人口500人以下的地方也有旅馆是很寻常的。难怪酒店经营产业在世界上各大产业排名中名列前茅。虽然没有可靠的统计数字，但是综览美国该领域的现状，展现了该行业巍巍壮观的景

45、象。 参考译文旅馆业简介 7在美国，旅馆经营业在服务业中排名第七，仅次于公共交通和餐饮经营之后。美国大约有22,100家宾馆，1百万个房间。美国宾馆一夜可同时容纳二百多万人，为一百多万人提供就餐。目前宾馆每年的总收入大约在30亿美元，而每年支付的薪水大约是10亿美元。 参考译文旅馆业简介 8宾馆提供更多的综合性服务需要其他部门的参与。豪华度假酒店需雇佣人员组织指导各种娱乐活动，大城市的旅馆常有独立的会议部门以接待处理大型会议和其它团体会议的业务。如果旅馆还有附属商店、经营场地或车库等配套设施还需雇佣额外的员工。 汽车旅馆“motel” 一词是汽车旅馆的意思，往往驾车旅游的人入住此类旅馆。汽车旅

46、馆都有广阔的停车空间。他们通常位于远离市中心的主干道旁，费用比一般旅馆便宜，每人每天住宿洗澡只收10-15美元。在大城市内或靠近城市的汽车旅馆会更贵些，而在小城市的价格会低一些。因为汽车旅馆往往位于远离市中心的地方，如果没有车，也不靠近公共汽车站或火车站，那么可能会很不方便。虽然在比较繁忙的地区入住汽车旅馆需提前预订，但在人口稀少的地方并不总是这样。汽车旅馆既方便又经济，所以就不难理解为什么它在美国是如此地受欢迎。1.

For example, if you go to the tourist attractions located in some comparatively remote areas such as Huangshan, Linan, the resort hotels are not well equipped while the prices are very high.
