Meeting the landlord


Beth: Hello, Mr. Gao. We appreciate your letting us have the apartment.

LL: My pleasure. You're a sweet couple. Do you have any questions?

Beth: The ad said rent was thirty thousand. That includes utilities and phone, I assume.

LL: No, it doesn't. And there's a maintenance fee for each month. It's forty NT per ping.

Beth: That's another one thousand six hundred?

LL: Yes, but that doesn't include cable. It's for cleaning and trash removal. You just leave your trash outside your door.

和房东见面


贝丝:哈啰,高先生。我们很感激你让我们承租这间公寓。

房东:荣幸之至。你们这对夫妇人很好。有任何问题吗?

贝丝:广告上说房租是三万元。我猜那包括水电瓦斯跟电话费吧。

房东:不,没有包括。而且每个月还有管理费。一坪四十元。

贝丝:那就是还要外加一千六百元?

房东:对,不过那不包括有线电视。那是清洁跟收垃圾的费用。你只要把垃圾放在门外就好了。
