  学生:有人告诉我说你们可能有一套公寓要出租,现在方便看看吗?

  Agent: Sure do. Please come this way. It's on the 3rd floor. This is the bedroom. It's large enough for two people.

  中介代理:当然可以了。请这边走,房子在三楼…这是卧室,足够住两个人的。

  Student: Maybe the room is a bit small. but it isn't stuffy at all. It seems really warm too. May I see the kitchen?

  学生:这房间可能有点儿小,但一点儿也不闷,而且看起来也很暖和。我可以看看厨房吗?

  Agent: Of course. It's full-size and completely modern. The owner just had it remodeled. so everything in it is new, including the fridge and stove.

  中介代理:可以啊。这个厨房尺寸标准而且完全现代化?业主刚重新装修的,所以每一样东西都是新的,包括冰箱和炉子。

  Student: How much is the rent?

  中介代理:一个月两百美元,月初交。

  Student: Are water and electricity included?

  学生:水电费在内吗?

  Agent: No. they are both extra. But all local telephone calls are free and there's cable for the television and it's free too.

  中介代理:不在内,水电费是另外收费的。但是所有的市话都是免费的,而且这里的有线电视也是免费的?

  Student: Well, then I think Yd like to take it.

  学生:好吧,那我就租下了。

  Agent: It'll be two months up front. And please remember no parties.

  中介代理:需预先交两个月的房租,还要记住不能在这里开派对。

  3.详细解说

  1.“sure do”是很常用的口语短句,意为“当然行了,当然可以了”,也可以只用“sure”。

  2.“buck”是俚语,意思是“美元”,相当于“dollar”。

  3.“up front”在这里的意思为“提前,预先”,相当于“in advance”。例如: We'll pay you half up front and the other half when you've finished the job.(我们先付给你一半钱,剩下的一半等你干完了再付。)另外,“up front”还可以作名词,在口语中表示“提前支付的款项,先期付款”;“…remember no parties.“在这里表示“…remember no parties are allowed.”,即“记住不能在这里开派对”。

  4.文化洗礼

  房屋广告常用简写词

  在美国,获得房屋信息的最佳途径就是浏览当地报纸。周日版一般会刊登当地售房和租房的广告,但在周六晚间即可在街头或杂货店里买到。广告刊登在分类广告的房地产专栏和公寓栏内。但要想看懂上面的广告,还要先学一下广告里的常用简写词。
