介绍公寓

M= Manager R= Renter

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

公寓经理正向一位准备承租的人介绍公寓。

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

经理：信箱就在那边，那儿的洗衣房有投币式洗衣机和烘干机。

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，那没啥特别，不过公寓在高级住宅区里这价钱是很便宜……好吧，我要租。

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

经理：好啊，您想签9个月或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：我想我就签9个月的房租以防万一我决定不念暑期学校。如果我想留下来时我可以延长租期，不是吗?

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

经理：当然，只要您在房租期满之前让我们知道就行了。
