Advice to Rent an Apartment
租房建議(1)
David:I want to ask you for a favor. I want to rent an apartment here in BeiJing,but as a foreigner,I don't know the normal practice. Can you give me some advice?
You: 首先,你得告訴我你想要什么樣的公寓,比如房間要多大,想住在哪兒,是不是要住在市區(qū),有什么愛(ài)好,然后我才知道什么樣的公寓最適合你。
David:I am a student and want to live in Haidian, so that I can live close to my school. I like to play soccer and I like a quiet apartment so I can study.(我是個(gè)學(xué)生,想住在海淀,這樣離學(xué)校近點(diǎn)。我喜歡踢足球,想要一個(gè)安靜的公寓來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)。)
You: 我覺(jué)得兩居室?guī)б粋€(gè)廚房的公寓就很適合你。我可以介紹學(xué)校附近一處公寓給你。在七樓,非常安靜,很適合學(xué)習(xí)。
David:That sounds great!(聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)!)
You:你可以去學(xué)校的操場(chǎng)踢足球,說(shuō)不定你還可以交到一些中國(guó)朋友。公寓離市場(chǎng)很近,內(nèi)部設(shè)施也不錯(cuò)。
David:Thank you so much, That's very kind of you.(非常感謝,你太好了。)
分析
今天分析你要講的第一句:首先,你得告訴我你想要什么樣的公寓,比如房間要多大,想住在哪兒,是不是要住在市區(qū),有什么愛(ài)好,然后我才知道什么樣的公寓最適合你。
常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤:Firstly, I think you should tell me what you need such as how big a room, where you want to live such as in the center of this city and your hobbies. Then I can choose the best room suitable for you.
點(diǎn)評(píng):“ the best room suitable for you” 的說(shuō)法聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)累贅,不如說(shuō)“the best room for you”,或是“the most suitable room for you”。例如: A: Based on your experience, I'd say the best job for you is in sales.
依你的經(jīng)歷,我覺(jué)得最適合你的工作是銷(xiāo)售。
B: You really think that sales is the most suitable job for me?
你真的覺(jué)得我做銷(xiāo)售最適合嗎?
參考答案:First, why don't you tell me what you need, such as how big a room, where you want to live, whether you want to live in downtown, and what you like to do. Then I can figure out which apartment is most suitable for you.
點(diǎn)評(píng):“why don't you(do something)”表示的并不是說(shuō)話(huà)者真正想問(wèn)“為什么”,而是提出一種建議“怎么不……”。
e.g:
A: Why are you riding so slowly?
你怎么騎得這么慢呢?
B: My tire is flat again, It always needs air.
車(chē)胎又沒(méi)氣了,總得打氣。
A: Why don't you get that tire replaced and be done with it?
怎么不換一個(gè)呢?
B: You are right, I will do it this afternoon.
你說(shuō)的對(duì),我下午就去換。
