5. 20分钟后,房东Ms. Li和房客Sam见面了,Ms. Li先问Sam在中国是干什么的,由于要打探了解房客的底细,才能放心的把房屋租给他。Sam回答说在中国学汉语和中国历史。是做学生的。Ms. Li又问他是想一个人住,还是想跟其他人合住,Do you want to share with any roommates or live alone? roommate是室友的意思,在口语中做称呼的时候常常被简化为 roomie。

6. Sam说I prefer to live alone. I need my peace and quiet. 我比较喜欢一个人住,我需要过安静、平和的生活。这里的peace and quiet表示平和,安静,平时大家比较熟知的是quiet做形容词,在这里quiet变成了名词。Ms. Li表示赞同,Good. That will make everything simpler. I like to keep things simple. 很好,那样的话,事情就简单多了,我喜欢简单行事。

7. Sam也说喜欢一个人独处,他说I like my privacy. privacy, 隐私,秘密;独处。比如:We must respect other's privacy. 大家应该尊重其他人的隐私。也就是说大家不该打听其他人的私事。

9. Ms. Li讲解说Y ou won't need much space if you're cooking for one. 假如你一个人一个人做饭的话,你无需太大的空间,注意这里的空间space是不可数的,用much来修饰,而不是用many。

10. Sam又问,那垃圾如何解决呢?What about the trash? What about...?这个短语非常常用,表示某人或某物如何呢?比如:What about the extra money? 那多余的钱如何解决呢?Ms. Li说可以把垃圾拿到一楼,天天晚上9点左右会被清走。

11. 赵:Sam很认可,说If it's OK with you, I think I'll take the apartment. 假如你没问题的话,我决定租下这个公寓了。be OK with something, 对某事没建议,赞同做某事,在口语中非常常用,比如:I'm OK with the timing1. 我对时间安排没建议。那样something be ok with someone, 也表示同样的意义,比如:Is the timing OK with you? 你对时间安排有建议吗?

12. Ms. Li也感觉Sam很好,她说You seem like the ideal tenant2. OK, let me go get the contract. 你看着是个理想的房客,目前我去拿合约。不论男女,房客都是tenant,但男房东和女房东可不同了,男房东是landlord,女房东是landlady,但两者都可以缩写成LL,记住要大写。
