M = Manager　　R = Renter

An apartment manager is showing an apartment to a potential renter.

公寓經理正向一位準備承租的人介紹公寓。

M: The mailboxes are right down there, and the laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers is over there.

經　理：信箱就在那邊，那兒的洗衣房有投幣式洗衣機和烘干機。

R: I see. Well, it's nothing spectacular, but it's pretty cheap for an apartment in a decent neighborhood... O.K., I think I'll take it.

承租人：嗯，那沒啥特別，不過公寓在高級住宅區里這價錢是很便宜……好吧，我要租。

M: All right, do you want to sign a nine-month or a one-year lease?

經　理：好啊，您想簽九個月或一年的房契呢?

R: I think I'll sign a nine-month lease in case I decide not to go to summer school. I can extend it if I want to stay, can't I?

承租人：我想我就簽九個月的房租以防萬一我決定不念暑期學校。如果我想留下來時我可以延長租期，不是嗎?

M: Sure. Just let us know before your lease expires. (to be continued)

經　理：當然，只要在您在房租期滿之前讓我們知道就行了。
