[Eng.] Audi R8

對一個沒駕照的人而言....Cars are only one type of transportations.
What this article really attracts me is that the subtitle is
absolutely exaggerated.
""FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN"
xml:lang="EN">It’s so comfortable you can run
over anything up to a medium-sized fox and not even
notice"
However, the exageration emphasises how good the
car is and makes great achievement to advertise.
Through close reading, something funny that the
appearance of one businessman's hotel is described particularly;
nevertheless, nothing about Audi R8 is mentioned. The
description quite interesting and vividly though it does not fit my
eagerness for finding how COMFORTABLE the car is.
"We all know what businessmen's hotels are like. There's a
priority check-in section where you wait behind some rope, on a
bit of carpet. There are staff in shiny suits who say things like
“If there's anything else at all for yourself at all”.
And you are given a credit card key that
makes lots of whirring noises when you put it in the lock but
will not, no matter what you do, open the door.
After you've kicked it down, you have the
room. There's no obvious button to turn off the fan, which sounds
like a Foxbat jet. The light switch by the bed turns all the
lights off, except one. Which can only be extinguished by hitting
the bulb with your shoe. The plug you need to charge your mobile
is always behind the mini bar, and the “tea and coffee making
facilities” are designed to ensure you can't make either.
No, really: the kettle lead is never more than a foot long and
the brown powder they put in the sachets is way closer on the
periodic table to radium F than it is to coffee..... "#3366FF">Businessmen's hotels, I think, are the most miserable,
soul destroying, soulless, energy sapping, embarrassing, badly
run and badly organised edifices in the entire world. I'd rather
stay in an igloo. And that's before we get to the food.
The menus are always written in a massively
squiggly, curly-whirly typeface. And there's much talk of jus and
things being drizzled onto other things. But you know the chef is
not from Paris or Rome. He's from Darlington and he hasn't a clue
what he's doing.
As a general rule, I order items that even I couldn't mess up,
which is why, at a businessmen's hotel next to Manchester airport
last week, I went for a lamb chump with mashed potato and
cabbage. “No, lamb. Lamb,” I said to the Latvian teenager. “A
baby baa baa black sheep . . .”"

cooly and distanse but from this article, it seems that they
are quite humorous and amusing when they are
criticising.
