A: Good morning, Madam, and how do you do?
早晨好，太太，您好！

早晨好，我想詢問你們在今天的報(bào)章中刊登有關(guān)唐廈的廣告。

A: Yes, Madam. Have a seat please. I think you mean the one priced at four point five million Hong Kong dollars. May l have your name, please?
好的，太太，請坐。我想你所指的是定價四百五十萬的那個住宅。請問您怎么稱呼？

C: I'm Mrs. Chen. Is the flat still available?
我是陳太太，那個房子是否已經(jīng)售出？

A: Mrs. Chen, here is my name card. I'm James Wilson. The Tong House is about seventeen years old but the internal condition is fine. May I know if you are familiar with the neighborhood here? Do you know the location of Tong House?

陳太太，這是我的名片，我是詹姆士·約翰遜。唐廈的樓齡約有十七年，不過樓盤保養(yǎng)良好。你對附近的環(huán)境熟識嗎？你知道唐廈的位置在哪里嗎？

C: No, I don't live around there, but I know the location and environment of Tai Koo Shing. I know the average price of five thousand Hong Kong dollars per square foot is very attractive. May I know the size, the layout and the view of the house?
我不是住在附近的，但我清楚太古城的位置及周圍的環(huán)境。在太古城每平方英尺港幣五千塊的售價是很吸引人的。可否告訴我那套房子的面積，布局和觀景如何嗎？

A: Sure. The area of this flat is around nine hundred square feet. It is designed as one living room, one dining room, one master bedroom and two bedrooms.
當(dāng)然可以。房子面積約九百平方英尺。有一個客廳，一個飯廳，一個主臥和兩間客房。

C: Do you have the floor plan of the building?
你有沒有這棟大廈的平面圖?

A: Yes, Mrs. Chen. Here it is. For this unit, the efficiency rate is very high because the layout is very effective. Also, the owner keeps the house in a good condition. Maybe I can show you the house.
有。陳太太，這就是了。以這套房子而言，由于它的設(shè)計(jì)很實(shí)用，所以使用率很高。再者，業(yè)主把房子保持得非常好。或者我先帶您看看房子。

C: Very well. Can we go now?
非常好。是不是現(xiàn)在就去?

A: Give me a minute. Let me call the owner first.
請稍候，讓我先通知業(yè)主。

C: Thank you.
謝謝。
