A: Hi y' all! My name is Serena and I'm so excited about the apartments we are going to look at today. It's a really good batch.
B: Hi Serena! This is my roommate Kevin, and we can't wait to see what you've got for us!
A: Well have a seat you two and let's get down to business! Now, what price range are we looking at here?
B: Well, we've decided we can pay about $400 dollars a month for rent so we want to see what that can get us.
A: Alright. The first place I'd suggest is one that just opened up in Greenville which is just ____1____.
C: Well, actually we want something right in the middle of ____2____ so we can get to work easier.
A: Alright, that's going to hike up the price a bit but let's see what we've got. Right now for your price range we've got three options.The first is being put up by a retired couple, fully furnished, 9 month maximum rent period for $575 a month.You will also need to pay a security ____3____ of $575 and the last month's rent before moving in.
B: Okay... what else do you have?
A: There's a place for $350 a month that doesn't look too bad in the picture. It's near the 4th street which is a higher crime area, but this says there's a doorman on duty 24 hours. There's a living room, a study, one master bedroom, a bathroom and ____4____.
B: Hmmm, we really wanted two bedrooms.
A: The last place open right now just went on the market but things have been pretty competitive recently. It's a place on the 1st street $535 a month but it's got two bedrooms, a kitchen and it says there's a ____5____ right on the corner.
C: That would be perfect! Can we go take a look?
A: Sure. Follow me, gentlemen!

A: 你們好!我叫塞麗娜,我對我們今天將要看的房子很滿意。真是一批好房子。
B: 你好,塞麗娜,這是我的室友凱文,我們已經(jīng)迫不及待地想看看你為我們準(zhǔn)備的房子了!
A: 好的。你倆請坐,讓我們來談?wù)掳伞D銈兿肟词裁磧r位的房子???
B: 嗯,我們已經(jīng)決定我們能每個月支付400美元房租,因此我們想看看你這能提供什么樣的房子。
A: 好的。我建議你們看的第一所房子位于格里維爾,那真是個令人驚嘆的地方。
C: 嗯,實際上我們想找個正好位于市區(qū)的地方,這樣便于我們上班。
A: 好的。這樣可能價格貴些,但讓我看看我們現(xiàn)有的能否滿足要求。根據(jù)你們的價位標(biāo)準(zhǔn)我們馬上找到了三處可選擇的地方。第一所由一對退休的夫婦提供,全裝修,最多租9個月,每月租金575美元。入住之前你們還需要另付575美元的保安費和上月的月租。
B: 好的......你這還有什么其他的房屋?

C: 嗯,我們想要兩個臥室。
A: 最后一所房子才出租,但相當(dāng)有競爭力。它位于第一大街,每月535美元,但有兩間臥室,一間廚房,在街角有一間自助洗衣店。
B: 那很不錯!我們能去看一下嗎?
A: 當(dāng)然可以。先生們,跟我走吧!
