Renting a house
Jack : May I come in?
Fred : Yes. Come in, please. Now let me show you the house.

Fred : Yet bet. This is the nicest room in the district. You know
what, I just had all the walls repainted last month.

about three years.

months rent.

在国外留学怎样租房子?
到国外留学第一要紧的就是先找到一个落脚的地方,租房子成为必不可少的事。在国外如何分辨哪种房子是自己想租的?怎么租房子?怎么跟房东沟通呢?下面的几点你须记住:学生一般租住公寓房,看到apartment、loft、studio、room字样的租房信息,都指的是这类房子。还有一种 townhouse,也属于学校,但房子不在校内,也可以租,只是这类房子跟其他房子有个不太一样的地方,就是没有家具,另外,留学生到美国入学后,学校都会发给学生一个专门的《租房小册子》(Housing booklet),这个小册子很有用,内容包括如何租房、在哪可租房等相关信息。一般来说,大多数学生租住学校的宿舍。租住学校宿舍的原因就在于价格便宜一些,但最大的优势是方便。校外租房找“学生社区”。在校外租房子的学生要注意两点:一是租的房子光线要好,二是租的房子要在学校附近。
那么,租房子时怎么跟房东交流呢?下面就教给大家交流时需要说的几句简单且必要的话语。你首先得让房东知道你想租多大的房子,这时你要说:“I'am interested in one bedroom.(意为:我想要一间卧室的房子。)”或者“I'am interested in two bedrooms and one bathroom.”(意为:我想要两间卧室带一个卫生间的房子。)如果房东表示有你需要的房子出租,这时你要问:“When is it available 或者When can I move in(两句的意思均为:我什么时候能搬进来?)”如果对房子满意,有意租下,可以跟房东讨价还价:“Do you have any specials(意为:有什么优惠吗?)”最后如果双方达成一致,就要讨论房租如何支付了。你可以问房东:“How do I'pay for it, by check or cash(意为:我怎么付钱呢?是支票还是现金?)”一般来说都是付现金。如果没能达成一致或对房子不满意,要婉转地对房东说: “Thank you, I will think about it.(意为:谢谢,我再考虑一下。)”房东就会明白你的意思。

01Daily Dialogue 日常会话
Buying the house
Jasmine : Haven't seen you for ages. What are you doing
recently?
Falcon : Nothing new. I'm just doing my work day and night.
What about you?
Jasmine : I'm considering buying an apartment for my son.
Falcon : You know the price is going up. You should leave it
later.
Jasmine : But time won't wait for me. My son will get married
next year. So it's a must for me to rush for it.
Falcon : I know that…What kind of apartment would you like?
Jasmine : I'd like a house near the country. In that case, we can
enjoy the fresh air every day.
Falcon : What about the size?
Jasmine : I prefer a double-room apartment.
Falcon : Then the most important thing is money. Have you got
enough money?
Jasmine : Don't joke with me. We have just saved little money.
Falcon : Then it depends on which bank will finance you. You
have the down payment, haven't you?
Jasmine : Yes, I have.
Falcon : As I known, almost every bank requires a twenty
percent down payment.
Jasmine : So it will take me thirty years to pay off all the money.
Falcon : Oh, my God.
谈论买房

Falcon:你知道房价一直在上涨。你最好以后再做这个打算。
Jasmine:但是时间不等我呀,我儿子明年就要结婚了,所以现在我必须这么做。
Falcon:我明白了。你想要什么样的房子呢?
Jasmine:我想买一套近郊的。那样我们每天都能呼吸新鲜的空气了。
Falcon:面积呢?
Jasmine:我想要一套两居室的。
Falcon:最重要的是钱。你们有足够的钱吗?
Jasmine:我们几乎没有攒钱。
Falcon:那就看哪家银行能贷款给你了。首付够了是吗
Jasmine:是的。
Falcon:据我所知,大部分银行需要百分之二十的首付。
Jasmine:所以我要用三十年还清所有的钱。
Falcon:天哪。
