But there was a bunch OTHER stuff that looked cool, too. I was hoping they might let us COMBINE activities so I could do everything before we had to go back home. I felt kind of bad for being so negative about this trip up until then, and I turned around to tell Mom and Dad I was sorry. But I wish I had just kept watching the video instead.

但是还有很多其他的东西看起来也很酷。 我希望他们能让我们把活动结合起来，这样我就可以在回家之前把所有的事情都做完。 在那之前，我一直对这次旅行持消极态度，我觉得有点不好意思，于是我转身向爸妈道歉。 但我希望我只是继续看视频。

When we stepped off the bus at the resort, the staff greeted us and handed Mom and Dad frozen drinks. We gave our bags to these guys wearing white gloves, and they said they'd take them directly to our room, And I gotta say, I was IMPRESSED. We went to the front desk, and the lady there explained how everything worked. She said the resort was "all-inclusive," so we didn't need to use cash or credit cards.

当我们在度假村下车时，工作人员迎接我们，递给爸爸妈妈冰镇饮料。 我们把包给了这些戴着白手套的人，他们说会直接送到我们房间，我不得不说，我被打动了。 我们走到前台，那里的女士向我们解释了一切是如何运作的。 她说这个度假村是“全包”的，所以我们不需要使用现金或信用卡。

The way we paid for stuff was with these plastic cards that doubled as our room keys. Mom and Dad told the receptionist they wanted to stay in the same building they'd stayed in for their honeymoon, but the lady said the resort had CHANGED since then. She said that now, the resort was split into two halves, the "Wild Side" and the "Mild Side." The place Mom and Dad had stayed was on the Wild Side, and kids aren't allowed over there. So she showed us where our building was on the map.

我们付钱的方式是用这些塑料卡，这些卡兼作房间钥匙。 妈妈和爸爸告诉前台他们想住在他们度蜜月时住过的那栋楼里，但那位女士说，从那以后，度假村已经变了。 她说，现在，度假村被分成两部分，“狂野的一面”和“温和的一面”。 爸爸妈妈住的地方在荒野，孩子是不允许去的。 所以她在地图上告诉我们我们的房子在哪里。

I could tell Dad was disappointed by the changes, but Mom said it was BETTER this way. She said this was a FAMILY trip, and we didn't need to be around a bunch of young couples partying, anyway. I didn't really care WHICH side of the resort we were on, because it looked to me like both sides had the same basic stuff. What I really cared about was the ROOM. Usually when my family stays at a hotel, we all share a room, and I have to sleep on a cot or a sofabed. So I was pretty shocked to find out we were in a SUITE with PLENTY of space.

我看得出爸爸对这些变化很失望，但妈妈说这样更好。 她说这是一次家庭旅行，我们不需要和一群年轻夫妇一起聚会。 我真的不在乎我们在度假村的哪一边，因为在我看来，两边的基本设施都是一样的。 我真正关心的是房间。 通常当我的家人住在酒店时，我们都共用一个房间，我不得不睡在小床或沙发床上。 所以当我发现我们住在一个空间很大的套房时，我非常震惊。

There were two rooms in the suite. We all had to share one bathroom, but me and Rodrick each had our own BED, which was the main thing. All I can say is, Mom and Dad must've dropped a LOT of money on this trip. There was a TV in the room I was sharing with Rodrick, but even better than that, there was a ROBE in the closet.

套间里有两个房间。 我们必须共用一个浴室，但我和罗德里克都有自己的床，这是最重要的。 我只能说，爸爸妈妈一定在这次旅行中花了很多钱。 我和罗德里克共用的房间里有一台电视，但更棒的是，壁橱里有一件睡袍。
