How's your new apartment? 

I thought it was in a quiet neighborhood, but it isn't. 

It seems that you are as happy as a lark. 

Sure I am. I've found the right apartment. It's nice and clean. 

Good morning, ma'am. Can I help you? 

Yes, I'd like to rent a house in this neighborhood. 

Are things still going badly with your houseguest? 

Getting worse. Now he’s eating me out of house and home. I’ve tried talking to him but it all goes in one ear and out the other. He makes himself at home, which is fine. But what really gets me is that yesterday he walked into the living room in the raw and I had company over! That was the last straw. 

I am a student in Cambridge University. I read your ad, I want to know something more about your room, please? 

我是剑桥大学的一位学生。我看了你的出租广告，我想再了解—下你房子的状况。

It's a big bedroom with a drawing room, facing a beautiful wood. 

是一个很大的卧室，兼有客厅，面朝一个美丽的小树林。

I want to ask you for a favor. I want to rent an apartment here in Beijing, but as a foreigner, I don't know the normal practice. Can you give me some advice? 

我想请你帮个忙。我想在北京租一套公寓，但我是外国人，不知道该怎么找。能不能给点建议呢？

First, why don't you tell me what you need, such as how big a room, where you want to live, whether you want to live downtown, and what you like to do. Then I can figure out which apartment is most suitable for you. 

首先，你得告诉我你想要什么样的公寓，比如房间要多大，想住在哪儿，是不是要住在市区，有什么爱好。然后我才知道什么样的公寓最适合你。

Are there pets allowed in this apartment? 

这栋公寓可以养宠物吗？

No dogs or cats or any other fur type animal, but other pets are allowed. 

不可以养狗或猫这类有毛的宠物，其他宠物可以。

What's up? You sound a little down in dumps. 

怎么了？你听起来好像情绪不太好啊。

I quarreled with my roommate last night. He is really stubborn. 

我昨晚和室友吵架了，他太倔了。

This is the house I want to rent. 

这是我想租的房子。

Could you tell me the advantages of it? 

你能告诉我它的优点吗？

I can't believe the way our landlord cheated us. 

我简直不能相信房东欺骗我们的手法。

I know how you feel. I had a similar problem with a landlord a few years ago. Fortunately, the one we have now is very nice. 

我知道你的感受。几年前我遭遇到类似的问题，所幸现在的房东对我们很好。
