2.mix-up弄混(淆)=a confusion or a misunderstanding

We‘ve given you the wrong baby(傳來嬰兒響亮哭聲)。
3.overbooked超額預(yù)定/超賣: if a hotels or a flight is ~, it means that they are full, they
are more than full.如a bus/a train can be overbooked
4.a complimentary upgrade 免費(fèi)升級(客房,艙位)
----------免費(fèi)升級大討論------------------
免費(fèi)升級原因:乘客不是過錯(cuò)方 because it was not your fault.
怎樣升級,如賓館if all of standard rooms are full. Give you a better room or more expensive room, but free. 如乘飛機(jī)時(shí)從經(jīng)濟(jì)艙免費(fèi)升級到商務(wù)艙或頭等艙if you are in 'economic class' in an airplane, they will move you to 'business class' or 'first-class' for free.
比如本集最后,男主人公要樂死了:本來訂的普通房,沒曾想換到總統(tǒng)套房He was really expecting a normal room and he’s now gonna be treated like a king.
兩個(gè)主持人吐槽享受過的升級待遇

Amira:從上海飛往卡塔爾,乘夜班飛機(jī)(無超額預(yù)定)仍免費(fèi)升級到頭等艙。
繼續(xù)吐槽頭等艙好處 :
Marco:真想乘飛機(jī)時(shí)次次碰到頭等艙升級!I would prefer a first class upgrade on anairplane, yeah, any day.
Amira:一餐有五道菜,飲料暢飲!have a five course meal and get all the drinks you can get
