你好，请问今晚附近有什么娱乐活动或者演出吗？
nǐ hǎo, qǐng wèn jīn wǎn fù jìn yǒu shén me yú lè huó dòng huò zhě yǎn chū ma?
Hello, may I ask if there's any entertainment or shows nearby tonight?
M
有的，先生。今晚酒店对面的剧院正好有一场爵士乐演出。
yǒu de, xiān sheng. jīn wǎn jiǔ diàn duì miàn de jù yuàn zhèng hǎo yǒu yì chǎng jué shì yuè yǎn chū.
Yes, sir. Tonight the theater across from the hotel happens to have a jazz performance.
D
听起来不错！演出几点开始，票大概多少钱？
tīng qǐ lái bù cuò! yǎn chū jǐ diǎn kāi shǐ, piào dà gài duō shǎo qián?
That sounds great! What time does it start, and roughly how much are the tickets?
M
晚上八点开始，票价两百块起，位置越靠前越贵。
wǎn shang bā diǎn kāi shǐ, piào jià liǎng bǎi kuài qǐ, wèi zhì yuè kào qián yuè guì.
It starts at eight in the evening, tickets start from two hundred yuan, and the closer the seat, the more expensive it is.
D
那我现在过去，还买得到票吗？会不会已经卖光了？
nà wǒ xiàn zài guò qù, hái mǎi dé dào piào ma? huì bu huì yǐ jīng mài guāng le?
So if I go over now, can I still get tickets? Might they already be sold out?
M
别担心，今晚不是周末，一般都还有位子，不过最好早点过去。
bié dān xīn, jīn wǎn bù shì zhōu mò, yì bān dōu hái yǒu wèi zi, bù guò zuì hǎo zǎo diǎn guò qù.
Don't worry, tonight isn't the weekend, so there are usually still seats, but you'd better go a bit early.
D
好的。除了爵士乐，附近还有别的选择吗？比如酒吧或者夜市什么的。
hǎo de. chú le jué shì yuè, fù jìn hái yǒu bié de xuǎn zé ma? bǐ rú jiǔ bā huò zhě yè shì shén me de.
Okay. Besides jazz, are there other options nearby? Like bars or a night market or something.
M
当然有。往南走五分钟就有个夜市，很热闹，小吃也特别多。
dāng rán yǒu. wǎng nán zǒu wǔ fēn zhōng jiù yǒu ge yè shì, hěn rè nao, xiǎo chī yě tè bié duō.
Of course. Walk five minutes to the south and there's a night market—it's very lively, and there's especially a lot of street food.
D
太好了，我特别喜欢逛夜市。那边晚上安全吗？
tài hǎo le, wǒ tè bié xǐ huan guàng yè shì. nà biān wǎn shang ān quán ma?
Great, I really love wandering around night markets. Is it safe over there at night?
M
很安全，那一带人挺多的，警察也经常巡逻，您就放心去吧。
hěn ān quán, nà yí dài rén tǐng duō de, jǐng chá yě jīng cháng xún luó, nín jiù fàng xīn qù ba.
Very safe—that area is quite crowded, and the police patrol often too, so you can go without worry.
D
谢谢你的建议。我打算先去看演出，然后再去夜市吃点东西。
xiè xie nǐ de jiàn yì. wǒ dǎ suàn xiān qù kàn yǎn chū, rán hòu zài qù yè shì chī diǎn dōng xi.
Thanks for your suggestions. I plan to go see the show first, then head to the night market to grab a bite.
M
这个安排很棒！要是需要的话，我可以帮您叫辆出租车。
zhè ge ān pái hěn bàng! yào shi xū yào de huà, wǒ kě yǐ bāng nín jiào liàng chū zū chē.
That's a great plan! If you need, I can help you call a taxi.
