Mrs. Jones: Come in, please. It's on the second floor. This way, please.
Mr. Wei： How much does the apartment rent for?
Mrs. Jones: It's three hundred dollars a month…Here we are. This is the living room. There are windows in every room. The kitchen is on your left.
Mr. Wei： There are two bathrooms. That's GREat!
Mrs. Jones: By the way, we don't allow any pets here.
Mr. Wei： I see. What about decorating?
Mrs. Jones: If you decide to move in, we will repaint the apartment on the condition that you sign a two-year lease.
Mr. Wei： That means if I sign a one-year lease, there will be no redecorating at all?
Mrs. Jones: That's right.
Mr. Wei： If I decided to take it, how soon could I move in?
Mrs. Jones: You can move in any time you like. As you can see, it's already cleaned up.
Mr. Wei： Good. Er. Mrs…?
Mrs. Jones: Jones.
Mr. Wei： Mrs. Jones, I like this apartment very much, but I'd like to know my wife's and kids' opinions. I'll come back this evening with them. Will that be convenient?
Mrs. Jones: That's fine with me.
Mr. Wei： This is my business card. Thanks very much, Mrs. Jones. We'll see you tonight.
租公寓
魏先生： 我在今天早上的纽约时报看到你们的广告，所以我来看一下公寓。
琼斯太太：请进。公寓在二楼。这边请。
魏先生： 请问这间公寓租金怎么算？
琼斯太太：三百块钱一个月。……我们到了。这是客厅。每个房间都有窗户。厨房在你的左边。
魏先生： 有两间浴室。好极了！
琼斯太太：对了，我们这儿不准养宠物。
魏先生： 我知道了。那装潢呢？
琼斯太太：如果你决定要搬进来住，我们会帮你重新油漆整间公寓，条件是你签两年的租约。
魏先生： 那就是说，如果我只签一年租约，就不会重新装潢了？
琼斯太太：没错。
魏先生： 如果我决定要租这间公寓，最快什么时候可以搬进来？
琼斯太太：你随时可以搬进来。你也看到的，公寓已经打扫干净了。
魏先生： 很好。呃，你是……？
琼斯太太：琼斯。
魏先生： 琼斯太太，我很喜欢这间公寓，不过我想听听我太太和小孩们的看法。我晚上再
和他们一起来，不知道方不方便？
琼斯太太：我没问题。
魏先生： 这是我的名片。谢谢你，琼斯太太。晚上见。
