我想請你幫個忙。我想在北京租一套公寓，但我是外國人，不知道該怎么找。能不能給點建議呢?

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，你得告訴我你想要什么樣的公寓，比如房間要多大，想住在哪兒，是不是要住在市區(qū)，有什么愛好。然后我才知道什么樣的公寓最適合你。

I am a student and want to live in Haidian, so that I can live close to my school. I like to play soccer and I like a quiet apartment so I can study.

我是個學生，想住在海淀，這樣離學校近一點兒。我喜歡踢足球，我想要一個安靜的公寓來學習。

I think that an apartment with two rooms and a kitchen would suit your needs. I can introduce you to a place for rent near your school. The apartment is on the 7th floor, so it is very quiet and suitable for studying.

我覺得兩居室?guī)б粋€廚房的公寓就很適合你。我可以介紹學校附近一處公寓給你。在七樓，非常安靜，很適合學習。

That sounds great!

聽起來不錯!

You can also go to the school’s sports field to play soccer, and if you’re lucky you might make some Chinese friends there. It is right near the market and has comfortable facilities.

你可以去學校的操場踢足球，說不定你還可以交到一些中國朋友。公寓離市場很近，內(nèi)部設施也不錯。

Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.

非常感謝，你太好了。
