Leif: Ant Shirley, it's being years since we last met. How were you doing in the passing years?
Shirley: Pretty well. What about you?
Leif: Fine. Where are the other guys?
Shirley: It's a bit disappointing that they are all out for a movie.
Leif: Bad timing. I want to see them so much. How are they?
Shirley: Not bad. I heard you are going to graduate this coming summer, right?
Leif: Yes, that's why I'm here. I'm thinking about buying a second-hand apartment.
Shirley: Did you go to a real estate agent?
Leif: No, that will be too expensive.
Shirley: That's true. By the way, what kind of apartment are you looking for?
Leif: My first job's salary will be a bit low. So the cheaper the better. Just one I can afford.
Shirley: Sure. I'll try my best to find a satisfying one for you.
Leif: I'll appreciate it so much.

雷弗：雪莉阿姨，好多年沒有見了。這些年您怎么樣？
雪莉：挺好的。你呢？
雷弗：還可以。其他人呢？
雪莉：真可惜他們都出去看電影了。
雷弗：真不巧。我真想見他們。他們都好嗎？
雪莉：都不錯(cuò)。我聽說這個(gè)夏天你就要畢業(yè)了，是嗎？
雷弗：是的，這就是我今天為什么來這兒的原因。我在考慮買一個(gè)二手套間。
雪莉：你有去找過房產(chǎn)中介嗎？
雷弗：沒有，那樣會(huì)很貴。
雪莉：這倒是。順便問一下，你想要什么樣的套間呢？
雷弗：我的第一份工作的薪水會(huì)有點(diǎn)低，所以越便宜越好。要一個(gè)我能負(fù)擔(dān)得起的。
雪莉：那是。我會(huì)盡量幫你找一套讓你滿意的。
雷弗：那太感激了。
