It's time to get up, so splash some water on your face and let's begin the new day!
WAKE-UP CALL モーニングコール
- A wake-up call is a telephone call from a hotel employee to wake a guest from sleep.
Be careful! We do NOT use the expression “morning call” like the Japanese モーニングコール to mean wake-up call. - wake-up call は、ホテルの従業員が、宿泊客を起こすために部屋にかける電話、つまり、モーニングコールのことです。
注意:「モーニングコール」と言っても、wake-up call の意味にはなりません。
- (checking in at a hotel)
CLERK: Would you like a wake-up call in the morning?
GUEST: Please. Could you wake me up at 7:00? - (the next day)
GUEST: I was late for my appointment today! You were supposed to give me a wake-up call at 7:00!
CLERK: I'm very sorry. We did call you, but there was no answer. - (at another hotel)
GUEST: Do you have a wake-up call service?
CLERK: No, we don't. But there's an alarm clock in every room.
Now that you're awake, go out there and make it a day to remember!
