📜 情景对话原声词(Transcript)

Property Manager (物业经理): Kia ora! Are you here for the open home? Come on in. (你好!你是来看房的吗?请进。)

Viewer (看房人): Yeah, thanks. It looks great. Is the place coming furnished? (是的,谢谢。看起来很不错。这房子带家具吗?)

Property Manager (物业经理): Nah, it's unfurnished, so you'll need to bring your own furniture. But all the whiteware stays. (不带,是空房出租,所以你得自己买家具。不过所有的大家电都留下。)

Viewer (看房人): Good to know. How's the heating? I've heard some places can get pretty cold over winter. (了解了。取暖怎么样?我听说有些房子冬天会很冷。)

Property Manager (物业经理): Good question. There's a heat pump in the lounge, so it warms up fast. And it's a sunny spot, so it doesn't get damp. (问得好。客厅有个热泵,所以升温很快。而且采光好,不会潮湿。)

Viewer (看房人): That's a relief. What's the rent, and how much bond do I need to pay? (那就放心了。租金多少,押金需要付多少?)

Property Manager (物业经理): Rent is 600 a week, and the bond is four weeks' rent, paid upfront. That bond goes to Tenancy Services, not to us. (租金每周600纽币,押金是四周房租,需预先支付。押金会交给租赁服务局,不归我们。)

Viewer (看房人): Right. Is there a letting fee on top of that? (明白了。除此之外还有中介费吗?)

Property Manager (物业经理): Nope, letting fees were banned a few years back, so you won't pay one. Are you flatting on your own, or with others? (没有,中介费几年前就被禁止了,所以你不用付。你是自己租,还是和别人合租?)

Viewer (看房人): Just me and my partner. How do we apply? (就我和我伴侣两个人。我们怎么申请?)

Property Manager (物业经理): Easy as. Just fill in the application form online, and we'll get back to you in a couple of days. (很简单。在网上填一下申请表,我们过几天就会回复你。)

Viewer (看房人): Choice, thanks heaps for that. (太好了,非常感谢。)
