Q My husband and I would like to spend five or six days in the Maldives. Could you suggest some low-priced hotels? We'll be there in November.
Jan Davies, email.
A Prices in the Maldives are high. The cheaper hotels (and there aren't many) mightn't be much to look at, with unpleasant rooms, iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy, free island feel.
Angaga (South Ari Atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), Asdu Sun Is-land (North Male Atoll, email info@asdu. com.mv) are both a bit like this.
You'll be there in the low season (May to November), when it's still warm, but there's a greater likelihood of rain, so you should be able to get a double (standard) room with full board (three meals a day) fo $100 a night.
However, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxurious rooms.
Q My husband and I are from Australia. We are planning a four-week trip to London, Dublin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels. We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can't find anything cheaper than $150 a night.
Joan Maloney, email.
A For Australians travelling Europe, especially its capital cities, is expensive. You may have to increase your budget (預算). However, if you can't afford these costs, then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared hathroom cost about 20apersoninDublinandParisand35 in London. The minimum you would pay for a double room in a central area is 50apersoninDublinandParisand70 in London. These prices are for shared bathroom facilities, though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in.
Not all hotels are equal, of course, and it's a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good reputation.

The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus(菜單) across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(準確) of the translations.
Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹飪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation(期望). It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients(配方), the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(蔥爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墻)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生動的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
