出國 check in 後發現 Wi-Fi 一直斷線、訊號超差怎麼辦?這集教你用英文跟飯店櫃台抱怨網路問題、
要求技術支援、爭取免費補償,學會 spotty、lag、outage、workaround 等實用單字,
還有萬用句「Is there any way I can…?」下次出差旅行不再卡關。
Karen 國外出差,剛 check in 就發現房間 Wi-Fi 一直斷線,找 front desk 的 David 求救。
Karen: Hi, sorry to bother you, but the Wi-Fi in my room keeps dropping.
David: Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. How long has it been spotty?
Karen: Since I checked in this morning. I can barely get a signal near the bed.
David: That's frustrating, especially when you're trying to work. Have you tried reconnecting with the credentials printed on your keycard?
Karen: Yeah, three times. It connects, then dies after a minute. There's so much lag I can't even open my email.
David: Got it. We had a brief outage earlier, but the router on the 8th floor should be back online. Let me reset it from our end.
Karen: Is there any way I can use a wired connection? I have a Zoom call in twenty minutes.
David: Unfortunately the rooms aren't wired, but the business lounge has stable Wi-Fi as a workaround. I can get you in right now.
Karen: That works. Could you send someone up later to take a look at my room too?
David: Of course. I'll send our tech up within the hour. And honestly, for the trouble, would you mind if we comped your breakfast tomorrow as compensation?
Karen: That's really kind, thank you. I just need the internet to work for my meeting.
David: Totally understand. Let me walk you to the lounge now so your call won't miss a beat.
中文翻譯
Karen:哈囉,不好意思打擾一下,我房間的 Wi-Fi 一直斷線。
David:噢不,真的很抱歉。訊號斷斷續續多久了?
Karen:早上 check in 之後就這樣。我在床邊幾乎收不到訊號。
David:這真的很煩,尤其你還要工作。你有用房卡上的帳密重新連看看嗎?
Karen:有啊,連三次。連上之後一分鐘就斷掉。卡到我連 email 都打不開。
David:了解。我們稍早有短暫的網路中斷,不過 8 樓的路由器應該已經恢復了。我從這邊幫你重設一下。
Karen:有沒有什麼辦法可以用有線連線?我二十分鐘後有一個 Zoom 會議。
David:很抱歉房間沒有有線網路,不過商務貴賓室的 Wi-Fi 很穩,可以先當作替代方案。我現在就帶你進去。
Karen:可以。可以等等也派人上來看一下我房間嗎?
David:當然可以。我一小時內會派工程人員上去。說真的,造成你的不便,我們明天的早餐免費招待你當作補償可以嗎?
Karen:你人真好,謝謝。我現在只是真的需要網路撐過這場會議。
David:完全理解。我現在就帶你去貴賓室,保證你的會議一秒都不耽誤。

重點單字 Vocabulary Boost
spotty / ˈspɑː.t̬i / adj. → 斷斷續續的、不穩定的
(最常用在 Wi-Fi、手機訊號、表現不穩定的狀態)

lag / læɡ / n. → 延遲、卡頓

credentials / krəˈden.ʃəlz / n. → 帳號密碼、登入資訊
(比 username and password 更專業,IT 場合常見)
Please enter your Wi-Fi credentials on the keycard.(請輸入房卡上的 Wi-Fi 帳密。)
outage / ˈaʊ.t̬ɪdʒ / n. → 服務中斷
(網路、電力、水都可以用,比 break 更正式)
We had a power outage last night.(我們昨晚停電。)
router / ˈruː.t̬ɚ / n. → 路由器、無線分享器
(注意美式發音是「ruː」不是「raʊ」)
Try restarting the router.(試試看重啟路由器。)
reset / ˌriːˈset / v. → 重設、重啟
(IT 萬用動詞,路由器、密碼、手機都能 reset)
Let me reset your password.(我幫你重設密碼。)
workaround / ˈwɝː.kə.raʊnd / n. → 替代方案、變通辦法
(不是完美解法,但能繞過問題的方法)
Using the lobby Wi-Fi is a temporary workaround.(用大廳的 Wi-Fi 是暫時的變通方法。)
compensation / ˌkɑːm.pənˈseɪ.ʃən / n. → 補償
(飯店、航空業最常聽到,可以是退款或免費升等)
We’d like to offer breakfast as compensation.(我們想以早餐作為補償。)
comp / kɑːmp / v. → 免費招待(complimentary 的縮寫)
(美式服務業超常見,意思是「店家請你」)
The manager comped our drinks.(經理免費請我們喝飲料。)

重點句型 Sentence Patterns
… keeps + V-ing → 一直、不斷地(重複發生的煩躁狀況)
The Wi-Fi keeps dropping.(Wi-Fi 一直斷線。)| 替換詞:keeps freezing(一直當機)/ keeps shutting off(一直自動關機)
💡 用 keeps + V-ing 抱怨最有畫面感。常被直譯成「always」,但 keep 更精準——它強調「一次又一次」,櫃台聽到立刻知道事情沒完沒了。
I can barely + V → 幾乎沒辦法(小詞大力量)
I can barely get a signal near the bed.(床邊幾乎收不到訊號。)| 替換詞:barely hear(幾乎聽不到)/ barely see(幾乎看不到)
💡 比起 “I can’t”,barely 更柔和但更有畫面,讓對方感受到你「努力試了還是不行」,比直接抱怨「不行」更容易得到同理。
Is there any way I can …? → 有沒有什麼辦法可以…?
Is there any way I can use a wired connection?(有沒有什麼辦法可以用有線連線?)| 替換詞:get a late checkout(延後退房)/ switch rooms(換房間)
💡 飯店萬用神句。比「I want…」「Can I have…」更禮貌,給對方台階下。在西方服務業,越是給空間,越容易拿到 yes。
Could you send someone up to …? → 可以派人來…嗎?
Could you send someone up to take a look at my room?(可以派人上來看一下我房間嗎?)| 替換詞:take a look(檢查)/ deliver extra towels(送多的毛巾)
💡 飯店請求技術支援、送東西、搬行李都用這句。take a look 比 fix it 更柔和,不會讓對方覺得你在下命令。
Would you mind if + 過去式…? → 你介意我…嗎?(最委婉的提議)
Would you mind if we comped your breakfast?(你介意我們免費招待早餐嗎?)| 替換詞:if I switched rooms(如果我換房間)/ if I checked out late(如果我延後退房)
💡 注意動詞用「過去式」(comped 不是 comp),這是英文特殊規則,表達「假設語氣」。回答 No, not at all 才是「不介意,請便」,別答錯。
