戴维德:
I am very interested in a new apartment located near Jingan Temple, but the price is very high, I really can't afford it.
我很喜欢位于静安寺附近的一套新房子.可是价钱太高了.我买不起.
菲利普:
How much is it for each square meter? How large is the apartment?
多少钱一平方米?房子有多大?
戴维德:
It's 6000 yuan per square meter, and I really like the one with three bedrooms and a large living room. Its total area is about 130 square meters.
要6000元一平方米.我好喜欢这套三居室.带有一间大客厅的房子.它的总面积有130平方米.
菲利普:
That surely will cost you a lot of money. Are you going to make a full payment?
那真得花掉你不少钱.你准备一次付清吗?
戴维德:
Do you think I am rich enough to make it? I am thinking about buying the apartment by installments. The real estate agency says if I pay a 20% down payment, I can move in at once.
你以为我有那么多钱?我在考虑申请分期付款.房产商说如果我首付百分之二十房款就可以马上入住.
菲利普:
It sounds so tempting. Why not go applying for a loan from the bank? They charge very low interest, so you can choose whether to pay up the balance in 10 or 20 years.
听上去好诱人啊.你何不到银行去申请贷款呢?他们的贷款利息收得很低.你还可以选择10年期和20年期还清.
