　　三

　　A：have you thought of moving at all Sarah?

　　B：we’ve thought about it, but my husband and I can’t afford it right now. The only thing we could afford would be living in the slums, which is something I don’t want to do.

　　想過。但是我們夫妻倆目前都還買不起。所以我們現在只能住在這個破破爛爛的地方，我真是不願意待在這裡。

　　A：buying a house can be expensive, but there are ways to find cheaper houses.

　　買個別墅的確很貴，但是想住便宜一點的房子還是有不少辦法的。

　　Bl：ike what?

　　比如說?

　　A：well, sometimes the city auctions off houses to the community. You’d have to make a quick decision about the offer in a day, but you would definitely save money doing it that way.

　　嗯，有時候政府會向老百姓拍賣一些房子。你必須得在一天之內迅速作出決定是否要申請買了來，但是這樣你可以省下不少錢。

　　這是個好辦法。你認識什麼人以前是這麼做的嗎?

　　Bis the house pretty run-down.

　　那：房子的狀況糟糕嗎?

　　一點兒都不壞。原來的屋主是個女人，把房子打理的很好。只是她去世的時候既沒有親人也沒有留下遺囑，所以政府只好替她把房子賣掉。

　　B：was it very old house?

　　那房子舊嗎?

　　A：it was about 75 years old. There were a few repairs that needed doing, but it didn’t take a lot of money or time.
