pet inn / 宠物旅馆 / (chǒnɡwù lǚɡuǎn) 

A: I heard that you are going on a business trip to Warsaw in Poland tomorrow. What are you going to do with your wiener dog at home?

听说你明天要去波兰华沙出差,你家的腊肠犬可怎么办?

(tīnɡshuō nǐ mínɡtiān yàoqù bōlán huáshā chūchà, nǐ jiā de làchánɡquǎn kě zěnmebàn?)

B: I was just worrying about this. Although my friend said he can feed my dog every day, he may not have enough time to take it for a walk.  

我也正发愁呢。虽然我朋友说他能够帮我每天给狗狗喂食,但是每天遛狗他可能没有时间。

(wǒ yě zhènɡ fāchóu ne.suīrán wǒ pénɡyǒu shuō tā nénɡɡòu bānɡwǒ měitiān ɡěi ɡǒuɡǒu wèishí, dànshì měitiān liúɡǒu tā kěnénɡ méiyǒu shíjiān.)

A: You know there is a service called a pet inn, right?  

你知道现在有一种叫做宠物旅馆的服务吗?

(nǐ zhīdào xiànzài yǒu yīzhǒnɡ jiàozuò chǒnɡwù lǚɡuǎn de fúwù ma?)

B: I've actually never heard of that before. What is a pet inn?  

我还真没听说过,什么是宠物旅馆?

(wǒ hái zhēn méi tīnɡshuō ɡuò, shenme shì chǒnɡwù lǚɡuǎn?) 

A: It provides pets a place to stay. When pet owners have to travel and can't take care of their pets, a pet inn can help them take care of their animals, to guarantee feeding them and letting them get some exercises.

它提供宠物寄宿服务。当宠物主人外出无法照顾宠物时, 宠物旅馆可以帮忙照顾小动物,并保证它们每日的餐食和运动。

(tā tíɡònɡ chǒnɡwù jìsǔfúwù.dānɡ chǒnɡwù zhǔrén wàichū wúfǎ zhàoɡù chǒnɡwù shí, chǒnɡwù lǚɡuǎn kěyǐ bānɡmánɡ zhàoɡù xiǎodònɡwù, bìnɡ bǎozhènɡ tāmén měirì de cānshí hé yùndònɡ.)

B: This is exactly what I need. Thanks for telling me.  

这正是我需要的,谢谢你告诉我。

(zhè zhènɡshì wǒ xūyào de, xièxiè nǐ ɡàosù wǒ.)

A: No need to be so polite, because it can be very busy working in big cities, pet inns are pretty common in many major cities in China.  

不客气,因为都市工作生活的繁忙, 宠物旅馆在许多中国大城市都十分普遍。

(bùkèqì, yīnwéi dōushì ɡōnɡzuò shēnɡhuó de fánmánɡ, chǒnɡwù lǚɡuǎn zài xǔduō zhōnɡɡuó dàchénɡshì dōu shífēn pǔbiàn.)
