介紹公寓

M= Manager R= Renter

An apartment manager is showing an apartment to a potential renter.

公寓經理正向一位準備承租的人介紹公寓。

M: The mailboxes are right down there, and the laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers is over there.

經理：信箱就在那邊，那兒的洗衣房有投幣式洗衣機和烘干機。

R: I see. Well, it's nothing spectacular, but it' s pretty cheap for an apartment in a decent neighborhood...O.K., I think I'll take it.

承租人：嗯，那沒啥特別，不過公寓在高級住宅區(qū)里這價錢是很便宜……好吧，我要租。

M: All right, do you want to sign a nine-month or a one-year lease?

經理：好啊，您想簽9個月或1年的房契呢?

R: I think I'll sign a nine-month lease in case I decide not to go to summer school. I can extend it if I want to stay, can't I?

承租人：我想我就簽9個月的房租以防萬一我決定不念暑期學校。如果我想留下來時我可以延長租期，不是嗎?

M: Sure. Just let us know before your lease expires. (to be continued)

經理：當然，只要您在房租期滿之前讓我們知道就行了。
