Soon, father found out that loan interest rates had been dropping and the real estate market was at an all time low. He changed hrs mind.

因為父親的工作關(guān)系，我們家得搬到圣地亞哥去。父親想要用租的，但是母親堅持用買的。他們倆各有各的理由，于是就妥協(xié)為暫時買個新房子。不久，父親發(fā)現(xiàn)貨款利率一直在降低，而且不動產(chǎn)市場正值谷底，于是他改變了主意。

Now they had agreed on buying, father must search carefully for the new home. It was difficult at first, bacause we lived way up in Seanle Washingto. Following a friend's suggesbon famer contacted a real estate broker at Century 21. Things went much smoothly after that.

現(xiàn)在他們都同意用買的，所以父親必須為新家而謹(jǐn)慎地尋找。開始時比較困難，因為我們當(dāng)時是住在華盛頓州的西雅圖。但在聽了一個朋友的建議之后，父親找了個21世紀(jì)房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人。從那之后，事情進展得順利多了。

The ideal location was found, negotiated, and bought. Father chose a single story, twenty-five hundred square feet house on an eight thousand square feet lot. It has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a garage with room for two cars.

理想的地點找到了，經(jīng)過出價協(xié)商，最后成交了。父親選的是單層的房子，佔地8000平方英尺的土地，建筑面積是2500平方英尺。這房子有三個臥室，兩個半的廁所，和一間可以停放兩輛車的車庫。

We hired a moving company to ship our belongings to the new address with a trailer truck. It was not a major flying home on vacations.

我們雇了一家搬家公司，他們用拖車把我們所有的物品都搬到新地址。這對我來說并沒有太大的變化;我只需要在回家度假時改變飛機到達的目的地即可。
