今天的這段對(duì)話(huà),在討論租房,
我們應(yīng)該租什么樣的地方?在大學(xué)附近怎么租房
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
beginner
A: what kind of place shall we rent?
我們應(yīng)該租什么樣的地方?
B:it should be close to the university. neither of us are good at getting up in the morinings and closer it is, the later we can get up.
它應(yīng)該靠近大學(xué)。我們都不擅長(zhǎng)早上起床,離它越近,我們就越晚起床。
A:asolutely. that's the most important thing to take into consideration. i'm not too worried about the size of the flat.
理所當(dāng)然。這是最重要的考慮因素。我不太擔(dān)心公寓的大小。
B: neither am i. so a small place is ok, but we'll get a bigger one if it's not expensive. do you mind if it's in a noisy area.
我也不是。所以小的地方可以,但如果不貴的話(huà),我們會(huì)買(mǎi)一個(gè)大的。你介意它在嘈雜的地方嗎。
A:i don't mind. i'm not a light sleeper, but quieter is better for when we have to study at home.
i don't mind. i'm not a light sleeper, but quieter is better for when we have to study at home.
B: good point. ok, let's go to the estate agent and see what they can offer us.
說(shuō)得好。好吧,讓我們?nèi)フ曳康禺a(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人,看看他們能給我們什么。
A: yes, if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days. i think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early.
是的,如果幸運(yùn)的話(huà),我們會(huì)在接下來(lái)的幾天里找到一些東西。我想你早點(diǎn)開(kāi)始找房子是個(gè)好主意。
B: how much do you think the rent will be?
你認(rèn)為租金是多少?
A: i asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month.
我問(wèn)了一些已經(jīng)住在大學(xué)附近的人,他們說(shuō)每月大約要花100英鎊。
intermediate

我們想在大學(xué)附近租一套公寓。
B: are you looking for somewhere for two people?
你在找兩個(gè)人住的地方嗎?
A: yes, we are. obviously, we'd like something as cheap as possible. we've heard that there are places for 80 to 100 pounds a month.

是的,在大學(xué)附近這個(gè)價(jià)格范圍內(nèi)有好幾個(gè)地方。你還有其他要求嗎?

我們需要兩間臥室。廚房和餐廳可以分開(kāi),也可以合并。
B: ok. i've got a list of place that fit your requirements. let's just go through them. the first on the list costs 80 pounds a month, but it's on a noisy street and it's a little far from the universtiy.
好的。我有一份符合你要求的地方清單。讓我們來(lái)看看。清單上的第一個(gè)地方每月80英鎊,但它在一條喧鬧的街道上,離大學(xué)有點(diǎn)遠(yuǎn)。
A: how far away is it from the campus?
它離校園有多遠(yuǎn)?
B: it's about two miles away. that might be a little far to walk. here's one that's about half a mile from the campus. the cost is 100 pounds a month and it's on a small street, just off a main street.
它大約有兩英里遠(yuǎn)。走路可能有點(diǎn)遠(yuǎn)。這是一個(gè)離校園大約半英里的地方。費(fèi)用是每月100英鎊,在一條小街上,就在一條主街旁邊。
A: that sounds ideal. can we go to have a look at it? we'd like to see it before making a final decision.
