英语新闻听写 爱彼迎推出“小额预付”功能

（单词翻译）

Airbnb has introduced a new feature called "Pay Less Up Front."

爱彼迎（Airbnb）推出了一项新功能，名为“小额预付”。

The payment option allows guests to pay for part of their trip at the time of booking and then the rest closer to the check-in date.

该付款方式允许客人在预订的时候支付部分旅行费用，然后接近入住日期时支付剩余费用。

To qualify¹ for the option, a total stay must be at least $250 or more, and booked at least two weeks from check-in.

要想使用这个功能，总的入住费用至少是250美元，并且至少要在入住前两周预订。

It is currently² available anywhere in the world except for Brazil, China, and India.

目前除了巴西、中国和印度，这个功能在世界上任何地方都可以使用。

Airbnb says in addition to guests, the new payment feature will benefit hosts as well as they won't have to miss out on potential guests who prefer not to pay for the whole trip up front.

爱彼迎表示，除了客人之外，新的支付功能还会让房东受益，因为他们不会错过那些可能不愿意预先付清全部旅行费用的客人。
