早在去年12月的时候,我就预订了意大利之行的酒店,1月份的时候购买了机票和火车票。我已经计划了很久这次旅行,我想去罗马、威尼斯、五渔村、维罗纳和米兰。为了有深刻的体验和满满的收获,我做了很多功课,我在网上观看跟意大利有关的电影,如《庞贝末日》、《罗马假日》,观看意大利美食纪录片《贪嘴意大利》,做旅游路线攻略等等。可是没有想到新冠肺炎的全球迅速蔓延,让意大利成为一个让人望而生畏的地方。为了人身安全,我不得不取消意大利之行。 因为我们是在Booking上预定的酒店,有些可以免费取消,而有些即使取消也不退费。于是我和维罗纳酒店展开了持久战,从2月1日开始一直到2月9日,我们天天在口舌战,我说什么他们就是不依不饶,我觉得利益至上是意大利人乃至欧洲人的特点,他们不愿意变通,守的就是一个规则,但是意大利人最为顽固。你说什么他们都不会为之动情。下面是我给他们写的一封邮件: Hello, because of the impact of the new coronavirus, the Italian government has declared a national emergency for 6 months, and there has been something unfriendly to the Chinese people in Italy, so I am worried, afraid. I've just decided to cancel my trip to Italy. We booked a total of four hotels in Italy, and the other three were cancelled free of charge. When we booked, we read many reviews before we finally chose your hotel. Since I can choose your hotel, I know your rules. I follow your rules, too. But none of us thought of the unexpected. This new coronavirus, in particular, has changed many of the rules.Many people's flights and hotels are cancelled in order to reduce people's going out. So the Chinese government asked us to reduce our travel, not to let people around the world worry, not to let people in other countries also infected with the virus. So that's not my reason. It's not about you either. So I hope you understand. I tell you in advance that I don't want to bring you any loss. We can cancel the order one day earlier and let other people stay one day earlier, which will bring you more benefits.In addition, my credit card is not enough, which I didn't know before. After I told you, the hotel soon launched a deduction, I just know. I don't mean it. I can't change it now because I only have this credit card. It's true. I think it's God’s will. I don't want to lose more. Because your hotel is always there, and I don't travel.I hope to get your forgiveness and understanding. Now the new coronavirus in China is very serious, tens of thousands of people are infected. Many countries around the world have provided us with humanitarian assistance. I also beg you to cancel our accommodation for free. This is a global disaster.I want you to cancel the hotel for me free. Your kindness will bring you more wealth.Thank for your kindness,god bless you! 您好,由于新冠病毒的影响,意大利政府宣布全国进入紧急状态6个月,在意大利的中国人遇到了一些不友好的情况,所以我很担心,很害怕。我刚刚决定取消我的意大利之行。我们在意大利一共预订了四家酒店,另外三家酒店已经免费取消。当我们预订酒店时,我们读了很多评论才最终选择了您的酒店。因为我可以选择你们的酒店,所以我知道你们的规则。我也遵守你的规则。但我们谁也没有想到这个意外。特别是这种新型冠状病毒,改变了许多规则。为了减少人们外出,许多人的航班和酒店都被取消了。所以中国政府要求我们减少旅行,不要让世界各地的人担心,不要让其他国家的人也感染了病毒。所以这不是我的理由。这也和你无关。我希望你能理解。我事先告诉过你,我不想给你带来任何损失。我们可以提前一天取消订单,让其他人提前一天入住,这样会给你带来更多的好处。另外,我的信用卡额度不够用,这是我以前不知道的。我告诉你后,酒店很快就推出了扣款,我才知道。我不是那个意思。我现在不能换,因为我只有这张信用卡。 这是真的。我认为这是上帝的旨意。我不想失去更多。因为你的旅馆一直在那里,而我不旅行。我希望得到你的原谅和理解。目前中国新冠病毒疫情严重,已有数万人感染。世界上许多国家向我们提供了人道主义援助。我也请求您取消我们的免费住宿。这是一个全球性的灾难。我要你免费帮我取消酒店。你的善良会给你带来更多的财富。谢谢你的好意,上帝保佑你! 现在再读这封邮件,我觉得我的有些措辞有些搞笑或者好笑。但是为了减少损失,我能说的话都说了,满是祈求的语气。但是他们仍然语气强硬,强烈要求我全额支付所有费用。无奈之下,我给Booking 客服写了邮件,请求帮助(见图) 最后,问题终于解决了。维罗纳酒店免费取消了我的住宿。然后机票和火车票就没有这么幸运了,因为我们买的是廉航机票,所以他们不给退费,只给被感染的人退费,要求我上传证明。我无法提供,因为我是健康的人。火车票我们买的是经济座位,他们也不给退费。我也很心疼钱,花出去很多,结果没有去旅行。不过从这次经历里,我也学到了金钱买不来的东西,所以我从多个角度说服自己学会接受,失去意味着会有更多的机会获得。这是世间万物平衡定律。 |
