LARRY: I really appreciate your driving me around.
CONRAD: It's no problem.
I have time today, and I think it's important that you find a good place.
LARRY: It would be hard for just me to do it. I don't know the city at all.
CONRAD: So what do you see in there?
LARRY: This one sounds good. "Efficiency with view of the lake."
Utilities and parking included. Newly remodeled kitchen. $470.
CONRAD: Can you afford that much?
LARRY: No, I guess not. But that's what I want, isn't it? An efficiency.
CONRAD: Yes, an efficiency is a small apartment.
Usually one large room and a small bathroom.
There is often a small kitchen too. So it's good for one person.
LARRY: How about this one?
"Downtown efficiency. Furnished..." What does furnished mean?
CONRAD: That means the apartment has furniture in it.
LARRY: That's good.
CONRAD: Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. You have to like the furniture.
LARRY: "Furnished. Parking included. $400."
CONRAD: It's still pretty expensive.
LARRY: Yes, but it's downtown. I would like to take look at this one.
CONRAD: Alright. What's the phone number?
LARRY: 256-7797.
CONRAD: Got it. What else do you see?
LARRY: This one. "Two male grad students seeking roommate."
Must be quiet. Comfortable downtown apartment."
Does this mean I have to share a room with them?
CONRAD: No. It probably means they have a large apartment.
Probably a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms.
They need someone for the empty bedroom.
LARRY: That sounds alright.
CONRAD: Yes, it might be an advantage for you. You are a foreigner, after all.
If they're alright roommates, you could learn a lot from them.
LARRY: Here's the number, 256-4367.
CONRAD: Got it.
Let's call these two and see if we can make appointments to see the apartments.
LARRY: Sounds good to me. I really appreciate your help on this.
CONRAD: Don't mention it, Larry. What are friends for anyway?
赖瑞：我真的很感谢你开车带我绕一绕。
康若德：没关系的。
我今天有时间，我也认为你能找到一个好地方住是很重要的。
赖瑞：我自己来做的话会比较难。我对这个城市并不了解。
康若德：那你看到了些什么？
赖瑞：这一个听起来不错。套房且有湖的景观。
水电及停车都包含在内，新装潢过的厨房，四百七十美元。
康若德：你能负担得起吗？
赖瑞：不，我想不行。但那就是我要的，是吧？一间“套房”。
康若德：对，套房的意思是一间小的公寓。
通常是一间大的房间和一间小的浴室。
往往还有一间小厨房，所以一个人住是不错的。
赖瑞：这一个怎么样？
“市中心套房，含家具...”，“含家具”是什么意思？
康若德：那间公寓是含家具的。
赖瑞：很好。
康若德：有的时候是不错的，有时是不好的。你必须喜欢那些家具。
赖瑞：“含家具，含停车位，四百美元。”
康若德：但还是蛮贵的。
赖瑞：是呀，但是在市中心。我想去看一看这一间。
康若德：好的，电话号码是几号？
赖瑞：256-7797。
康若德：记下来了，你还看到什么？
赖瑞：这一个。“两个男研究生在找室友。
必须要安静。在市中心舒适的公寓。”
这个意思是我需要跟他们共用一间房吗？
康若德：不是，大概意思是他们有一套大的公寓。
大概是一个客厅，厨房和三间卧室。
他们需要一个人去分担另一间空房。
赖瑞：听起来还不错。
康若德：是的，这对你来说或许是有益的。到底你是一个外国人。
如果他们是还不错的室友，你还可以从他们那里学到一点东西。
赖瑞：号码是：256-4367。
康若德：写下来了。
那我们赶快打电话给这两间，然后我们可以安排时间去看。
赖瑞：听起来不错，我真的很感谢你的帮忙。
康若德：不用客气，赖瑞。朋友是用来做什么的？
