Renting an Apartment

Renting an Apartment
Mr. Wei I saw your advertisement in this morning's New York Times, and I'd like to take a look at the apartment.
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。
