B: Hello, Can you help me?
你好,能幫我一下嗎?
A: Sure, what can I do for you?
當(dāng)然可以,我能為你做點(diǎn)什么呢?
B: We know this new shopping arcade is ready for lease. We would like to know if any shops are still available.
我們知道這幢新的購(gòu)物商場(chǎng)已開(kāi)始招租。我們想知道還有哪些鋪位空置呢?

好的,請(qǐng)問(wèn)怎么稱(chēng)呼?
B: Yes, I'm Helen and this is my friend Eilze.
我叫海倫,這是我的朋友伊莉莎。
A: Nice to meet you, Helen and Elize. This is my business card. I'm Jenny. First, I would like to show you the layout of this arcade. The first floor is only for brand name shops. The second floor is for ladies' wear. The third floor is for men's wear. The fourth floor is half for children with the other half for computer products. The fifth floor is for restaurants, which has been already let. There are only a few units available on the second and fourth floor. May I ask what size are you looking for?
海倫,伊利莎,很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你們。這是我的名片,我是珍妮。讓我先簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下商場(chǎng)的布局。一層是名牌店。二層是女裝,三層是男裝,四層是兒童天地和電腦中心,五層是飲食中心,這層已全部租出。只剩下二層和四層還有少量鋪位。你們想租多大面積的鋪位?
B: Can you show us the floor plan first?
你可以先讓我們看看平面圖嗎?
A: Here are the floor plans for the second and the fourth floors. Only sizes from one hundred square feet to three hundred square feet are still available.
這是第二層和第四層的平面圖。還未出租的鋪位面積只有一百到三百平方英尺的了。
B: Elize and I are planning to open an accessory shop. I think one hundred and fifty square feet fits our needs. But first I would like to know the rental rate and terms.
依莎莉和我計(jì)劃開(kāi)一間飾品店。大概一百五十平方英尺的鋪位就足夠我們用了。不過(guò),我想先問(wèn)問(wèn)租金和租賃條件。
A: I believe the second floor is much more suitable for you. The average rate for the second floor is two hundred Hong Kong dollars per square foot. It certainly varies with different locations. The rental term is for three years.
我想第二層比較適合開(kāi)飾品店。第二層的平均租金是每平方英尺港幣二百元。實(shí)際租金則根據(jù)鋪?zhàn)拥奈恢枚?,租期是三年?/p>
C: I see. Thank you for your help. We need to discuss this. May I have the brochure for the mall?
我明白了,謝謝你。海倫和我要先商量一下。可否給我一份商場(chǎng)介紹?
A: Definitely. Here is the brochure with the floor plan included. The highlighted units on the floor plan are still available.
當(dāng)然可以。這是介紹,平面圖已經(jīng)在里面了。標(biāo)有顏色的鋪位表示仍未租出。
B&C: Thank you, Jenny.
謝謝你,珍妮。
A: You're welcome.
別客氣。

威廉姆斯先生,就是這幾個(gè)商鋪。這條街道非常繁忙,是吧?這里是傳統(tǒng)商業(yè)和零售區(qū),人流量非常大。加上鄰近地鐵站,步行到天星碼頭只要大概十分鐘。這地段是個(gè)非常不錯(cuò)的選擇。

B: Great! How about having some tea with us? We can discuss it over in the restaurant.
好,不如一起喝下午茶吧?大家可以在餐廳討論一下。
A: Great idea.
