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(guān)系的。我今天有時間，我也認(rèn)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(nèi)，新裝潢過的廚房，四百七十美元。

B Can you afford that much?

你能負(fù)擔(dān)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(dān)另一間空房。
