賴世雄英語(yǔ)書信通Unit 20：續(xù)函

　　February 23, 2005

　　Dear Nick,

　　I’m looking forward to seeing you next week. I’ve found a few more places you may be interested in, all in the same price range. If it were me, I’d find it hard to choose among them, so I’m glad you can come and make the decision yourself. Call me at work when you are done with your business. If I can get away, I’ll take you to see the apartments myself; otherwise, I’ll give you the addresses. Of course, I’ll certainly join you for dinner, since it’s on you!

　　Your buddy,

　　Sam

　　親愛(ài)的尼克：

　　期待下周與你見(jiàn)面。我已找到好幾個(gè)你可能會(huì)有興趣的住宅，它們的租金都在同一價(jià)位。如果是我的話，我實(shí)在很難在這之中作選擇，所以我很高興你能來(lái)并且自己做決定。你處理完事情后請(qǐng)打電話到我公司來(lái)。如果我可以蹺班的話，會(huì)親自帶你去看那些公寓;不然的話，我會(huì)把這些公寓的地址給你。當(dāng)然，我確信我會(huì)和你一起吃晚餐，因?yàn)檎?qǐng)客的人是你!

　　老友

　　山姆　敬上
