今天的這段對話，在討論租房，
 
學校里面的房子怎么樣？除了每月的房租還要付水電費嗎
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A:  what's your apartment like?
 
你租的房子怎么樣？
 
B:  it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.
 
在學校里面，是個三層樓里的兩居室，有家具。
 
A:  what is it like living in on-campus housing?
 
學校里面的房子怎么樣？
 
B:  it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.
 
比我想象的要好一點。住在附近的大一新生有點吵，尤其是周末。但是房租比外面的私人住宅要便宜得多，算是物有所值。
 
A:  did you have to pay a deposit?
 
要付押金嗎？
 
B:  no, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month.
 
不需要，但是我們得在本年里付清9個月的房租，相當于在前半年里每月各付一個半月的租金。
 
A:  do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?
 
你除了每月的房租還要付水電費嗎？
 
B:  no, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quitea bit of money by living here.
 
不用，都是含在租金里的。而且，學生不用付房租稅，所以說我們住在這兒又省下一筆錢。
 
A:  how long is your contract for?
 
你的合同什么時候到期？
 
B:  that's the bad thing---the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.
 
這是最糟糕的事---合同6月就到期了，所以我們馬上還得另找房子。
 
A:  have you started looking again yet?
 
你現(xiàn)在已經開始找了嗎？
 
B:  not yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer.
 
還沒呢。我希望到了夏天學生們一放暑假就都離開這兒了，到時候能找個便宜的房子。
 
A:  Good luck!
 
祝你好運吧。
