A: The living room faces south and the bedrooms face north. Mrs.Chen, what do you think of this unit? It has a beautiful hill view and quiet environment. Also, Tai Koo Shing has many amenities such as a grand shopping mall, wonderful playground, residents club, four standard tennis courts and few supermarkets. Also, it is conveniently located for public transportation like the MTR and buses.
A: May I ask if your interest in the unit is for investment or self-use.
陈太太,你买这单位是投资还是自用呢?
B: The purpose is for investment because I hear from my friend that the rental return for Tai Koo Shing is not bad.
我的目的是投资,因为我听说太古城的物业租金回报不错。
A: Sure. Mrs.Chen, the rent for this unit is around thirty-five thousand Hong Kong dollars. The yield is almost ten percent. There are many Japanese and Westerners love to live here. It s only because Mr.Johnson must go back to England that he has to sell this unit.
B: I understand. The flat is under a good condition and I don t have to redecorate it later. But, I ve got to discuss it with my husband first. Mr.wilson, how about I call you to make an appointment again?
A: Sure. Mrs.Chen, anyway, I should remind you that you must be quick because I have other clients requesting to check this unit later.
没有问题。陈太太,不过,我必须提醒你要快点决定,因为还有其他客户要求看这单位的。
B: Okay. I ll call you later.
好的,我稍后再给你找电话。 A: Hi,Sir. May I help you?
先生,你好,我可以帮你忙吗
B: Yes, please. I am looking to lease an apartment.
好的,麻烦你。我正在找一个出租住宅。
A: This is my business card. I am Chen Lu. Nice to meet you.

B: Thank you. I am Sam Roberts. I am looking for an apartment of around one thousand square feet for my family.
谢谢,我是罗伯茨。我正找一个约一千平方英尺的住宅公寓给我的家人。
A: Mr.Roberts, are you familiar with this area?
罗伯茨先生,你是否熟识这一区呢?
B: Yes, I am living in Rose Garden now, but the lease will expire in two months. The landlord is going to sell his apartment.
是的,我现在住在玫瑰花园,不过租约将在两个月后到期,业主已决定出售那住宅公寓。 A: I see. I guess you prefer remaining in the same neighbourhood. Let me check the computer s property data for you first. (After a few minutes.) Sir, do you know Robinson Garden?
B: No. I m sorry to say. (Chen Lu points out the location of Robinson Garden from the map.)
对不起,我不知道。(陈路将该区地图给罗伯茨先生看,并指示该大厦位置。)
