【问】 What are your fees for a room?请问这句话的错误何在?

【答】 fee是指付给团体的费用(报名费、学费、会费)和自由职业者(如律师、医生、家庭教师)的酬金。例如：

1. The doctor’s fee was higher than we expected.

医生的费用比我们预料得要高。

2. The lawer’s fees amounted to a thousand dollars.

律师诉讼费计一千美元。

charge则是指因某种服务而索取的费用(a fee that is demanded for a service)，如旅馆费、理发费等：

1. The charges for electricity and gas will be increased next year.

明年电和煤气的费用将上涨。

2. His charges are very moderate.

他的要价不高。

据此不难看出，你所提出的病句应改为：

What is the charge (are your charges) for a room?
