VOA常速英语2019--宠物度假村越来越受欢迎

Old Town Pet Resort in Springfield Virginia, a place where pets can vacation. Outside, the facility looks like a hotel. Inside, there’s a lobby where dogs and their pet parents are welcomed at the front desk. We aim to be five-star. We aim to provide five-star services to our guests as well as our clients, and that begins right when you walk in the front door. Our guests have four paws and our clients have two legs. It’s one of three family owned pet resorts in the Washington area where dogs get pampered² and get to socialize. The accommodations range from a 55 dollars per night classic room to a 120 per night luxury penthouse suite³ with a window and TV. It also comes with a turndown service, which, as you know, we go in, we tuck them in at night. We’ll give them a little treat. It comes with camera access. You can actually view your pet in their room 24 hours a day.

旧城宠物度假村位于弗吉尼亚州斯普林菲尔德，在这里，宠物也可以度假。这里的外观看起来像酒店。度假村里面有一个大堂，狗狗们和铲屎官们会在前台得到接待。我们的目标五星，是提供五星服务给顾客，这种服务是在度假村前门就开始提供。我们的客人有4只爪子，我们的客户2条腿。华盛顿有3家个人开办的宠物度假村，这里是其中一家。在宠物度假村里，狗狗们可以胡吃海喝，可以尽情社交。这里的住宿从每晚55美元的标准房到每晚120美元的豪华房不一而足，豪华房里有窗户和电视。此外还有夜床服务——我们晚上会进入房间，给宠物们掖被子。我们也会稍许奖励它们一下。我们的服务还包括摄像服务，铲屎官可以24小时通过镜头观察自己的主子。

This giant schnauzer named Zeus will be indulged in a luxury suite while his owner goes away for a few days. Extra TLC playtime on the 21st, then we’re also getting a bath on the day of departure. Yes, all right. I also like the pet cam features that are offered here where I can go on my cell phone and I can check and see how he’s doing in his room. At day camp, the dogs enjoy toys and play. Some clients are going on vacation and they want to pamper¹ their pets too while they’re away. Like any type resort, there is also a pool. Ben, a black Labrador, is fond of chasing his duck in the heated saltwater pool. Ben’s owner likes the extras. It tells you that, you know, we realized that we’re a pool for dogs, but we want you mommy and daddy who are observing your animal to be comfortable too, and I bet that speaks volumes to me. We want a whole new one, don’t you? This customer says his Great Dane Pixie is treated like family. I trust people that are here because of the fact that I know that they take good care of her. They love her just as much as we do. When they are able to come back from their vacations and see that their dogs were well taken care of and they were happy and satisfied the whole time. I think that makes it worth it for them in the long run.

这只大型雪纳名叫宙斯，它沉浸于豪华房的度假生活时，它的铲屎官可以离开度假村几天。其他的有爱玩耍时间是在21号，然后就是在离开度假村那天会给它们洗个澡。是的，没错。我也喜欢这里提供的宠物摄像服务，这样我就能通过手机来看看它在干什么。白天在营地的时候，狗狗们可以玩玩具，也可以做其他娱乐。有些铲屎官自己在度假的同时，也希望能自己的宠物能在自己不在家的时候纵情玩乐一番。跟其他度假村一样，这里也有泳池。本是一只黑色的拉布拉多，它喜欢追着加热了的盐水池里追着鸭子嬉戏。本的铲屎官喜欢其他的活动。这里会让你知道狗狗们有自己的泳池，但我们也希望铲屎官们能亲眼看到自己的宠物过得很舒适。我打赌这一点对我很有感染力。我们想要全新的宠物度假村，大家都是这样这位顾客表示，他的大丹犬小精灵就像他的家人。我信任这里的工作人员，因为我知道他们把她照顾的很好。他们会像我一样关爱她。顾客们度假后回来，会看到自己的狗狗被照顾的很好，一直都很开心、很满意。我认为，长远来看，这对于他们是很值得的。
