A: I like this apartment. Do you think we can afford the mortgage?

是的。我想是的。這不是一套很貴的公寓。它在合適的區(qū)域,里面有我們想要的一切。房間也很大。

A: so, tell me about you new house. How is it different to your old one?
那么,告訴我你的新房子。它和你的舊房子有什么不同?

首先,它要大得多。它有相同數(shù)量的房間,但每個(gè)房間都更大。我們還有一個(gè)更大的花園,當(dāng)然,我們的狗喜歡這個(gè)花園!
A: so, it’s a three-bedrooms detached house?
那么,這是一棟三居室的獨(dú)立式房子?
B: yes. One bedroom is for my wife and i. there’s another for our daughter. My wife wants to use the third one as a guest room, but I’d like to make it into a study. Our daughter is also keen on making it a study, so that’s probably what will happen.
是的。一間臥室是我和我的。還有一間是我們女兒的。我妻子想把第三間用作客房,但我想把它做成書房。我們的女兒也很想把它變成書房,所以這可能會(huì)發(fā)生。

A: are the rooms nice and bright?
房間又漂亮又明亮嗎?

不,我們沒有。我們希望我們有一個(gè)。這是我們唯一想要的,但沒有。這個(gè)地區(qū)很好,鄰居們看起來很友好。
A: you’re right on the edge of the city, aren’t you? There can’t be much noise or traffic there. Is it easy to get into city centre?
你就在城市的邊緣,不是嗎?那里不會(huì)有太多的噪音或交通。去市中心容易嗎?
B: it’s a very quiet neighbourhood. There’s some traffic, but not much. It’s not very difficult to get to the city centre, but you must remember to turn left and right at the right places or you’ll get lost. So when are you going to drop by?
這是一個(gè)非常安靜的街區(qū)。有一些交通,但不多。去市中心不是很難,但你必須記得在正確的地方左轉(zhuǎn)和右轉(zhuǎn),否則你會(huì)迷路的。那么你什么時(shí)候來?
