A I really appreciate your driving me around.
我真的很感謝你開車帶我繞一繞。
B It's no problem.I have time today, and I think it's important that you find a good place.
沒關系的。我今天有時間,我也認為你能找到一個好地方住是很重要的。
A It would be hard for just me to do it. I don't know the city at all.
我自己來做的話會比較難。我對這個城市并不了解。
B So what do you see in there?
那你看到了些什么?
A This one sounds good.Efficiency with view of the lake.Utilities and parking included. Newly remodeled kitchen. $470.
這一個聽起來不錯。套房且有湖的景觀。水電及停車都包含在內,新裝潢過的廚房,四百七十美元。
B Can you afford that much?
你能負擔得起嗎?
A No, I guess not. But that's what I want, isn't it? An efficiency.
不,我想不行。但那就是我要的,是吧?一間“套房”。
B Yes, an efficiency is a small apartment.Usually one large room and a small bathroom.There is often a small kitchen too. So it's good for one person.
對,套房的意思是一間小的公寓。通常是一間大的房間和一間小的浴室。往往還有一間小廚房,所以一個人住是不錯的。
A This one. Two male grad students seeking roommate.Must be quiet. Comfortable downtown apartment.Does this mean I have to share a room with them?
這一個?!皟蓚€男研究生在找室友。必須要安靜。在市中心舒適的公寓?!边@個意思是我需要跟他們共用一間房嗎?
B No. It probably means they have a large apartment.Probably a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms.They need someone for the empty bedroom.
不是,大概意思是他們有一套大的公寓。大概是一個客廳,廚房和三間臥室。他們需要一個人去分擔另一間空房。
