Listen Read Learn

Benjamin: I've heard that you provide very good service, so when I need a mover, I call you guys first.

Mover: Thanks a lot for calling us. Could you tell me more about what you need us to do?

Benjamin: Oh, you see, we are on the 8th floor, and moving into the 6th floor in another building. It is about 15 kilometers to get there.

Mover: OK, the cost depends on the floor to move to, the distance between two places and the amount of the furniture to move.

Benjamin: How much will it cost in that case?

Mover: Oh, let me see. It fits the second standard rates. Have a look at the contract, please.

(A little while)

Benjamin: Your charge is divided into two parts, the Payment in Advance and the rest. I thought that I should pay all of it before moving.

Mover: No, firstly we sign the contract; you pay 50% of what it costs, and the rest when we finish moving.

Benjamin: The damage and compensation item confuses me. Could you give some explanation?

Mover: OK. If any of the articles was damaged during moving, you may make a claim for compensation with our department.

Benjamin: Are you sure it will work if any of our valuables like the archaized bookcase and the piano got damaged during moving?

Mover: You can rest assured! We are professional movers and we have adopted special protective measures.

Benjamin: Ur, OK, that's a relief.

Mover: Please trust us. We will sign the contract to guarantee your stuff arrives safely and our company always cherishes its reputation above everything. Yeah, shall we sign the contract right now?

Benjamin: OK!

聽(tīng)看學(xué)

本杰明：聽(tīng)說(shuō)你們的服務(wù)做得很好，所以現(xiàn)在我需要搬家，就先找你們了。

搬運(yùn)工：謝謝。您能詳細(xì)說(shuō)說(shuō)我們都需要做什么嗎？

本杰明：你看，我們住在八樓，要搬到另一棟公寓的六樓，去那里有15公里的路程。

搬運(yùn)工：嗯，費(fèi)用是按照目的地的樓層、兩地距離和搬運(yùn)的家具數(shù)量來(lái)定的。

本杰明：如果那樣的話(huà)需要多少錢(qián)？

搬運(yùn)工：噢，我來(lái)看看，這符合二號(hào)費(fèi)率標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。請(qǐng)先看一下合同吧。

（過(guò)了一會(huì)兒）

本杰明：費(fèi)用是分兩部分收取，預(yù)付和尾款。我還以為應(yīng)該在搬運(yùn)之前全部交清呢。

搬運(yùn)工：不是的，首先我們簽訂合同，您支付50%的費(fèi)用，然后我們搬完之后再支付剩下的部分。

本杰明：我對(duì)損壞和賠償條款不太明白，能解釋一下嗎？

搬運(yùn)工：好的。如果您的任何物品在搬運(yùn)過(guò)程中損壞，您可以向我們部門(mén)要求賠償。

本杰明：你確定如果我們的貴重物品像仿古書(shū)柜和鋼琴在搬運(yùn)過(guò)程中損壞可以得到賠償？

搬運(yùn)工：您可以放心。我們是專(zhuān)業(yè)的搬運(yùn)公司而且我們有特殊的保護(hù)措施。

本杰明：呃，好吧，我放心了。

搬運(yùn)工：請(qǐng)相信我們。我們簽訂了合同就會(huì)保證您的物品安全到達(dá)，我們公司最注重聲譽(yù)。我們現(xiàn)在能簽合同嗎？

本杰明：好的！

語(yǔ)素 Material

Buying a House Abroad

Buying a house is one of the most complicated and expensive purchases you will ever make. Look at and compare many houses in different areas. Once you have seen something you like, assess its location. It's one of the biggest factors in setting the price of the house. Before you make a decision, know exactly what you are buying and what the costs will be after you own it.

國(guó)外買(mǎi)房

買(mǎi)房是最昂貴、最復(fù)雜的消費(fèi)之一。你要在不同的地方看房并做比較。一旦你看到喜歡的房子，就要考慮它的位置，這是影響房?jī)r(jià)最關(guān)鍵的因素之一。在決定之前，要明確自己要買(mǎi)什么樣的房子，而且要明白買(mǎi)房后所需的花費(fèi)。

Moving Boxes

The boxes that are used for moving are not made from the same materials with common boxes that you see in many retail stores. What makes moving boxes different from other boxes is that they are designed specifically for loading and transporting items onto a truck. Professional moving companies use standard sizes boxes to help them plan effective use of their truck space.

搬家專(zhuān)用箱

搬家專(zhuān)用箱和你在許多零售店里看到的普通箱子不是用相同材料制作成的。搬家專(zhuān)用箱和其他箱子的不同之處在于它們是專(zhuān)為將物品搬運(yùn)到卡車(chē)上而設(shè)計(jì)的。專(zhuān)業(yè)的搬家公司用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)尺寸的箱子來(lái)合理利用卡車(chē)的空間。
