Benjamin：How big is this parking lot in our community?

Security guard: It has fifty parking spaces.

Benjamin: So you guys should be always busy.

Security guard: Why?

Benjamin: I bet it is always full of cars.

Security guard: Quite the contrary, sir. Plenty of the spaces here are free when people drive their cars out to work.

Benjamin: Ah…I see.

Security guard: We plan to rent some of them out at the hourly rates.

Benjamin: What is the hourly rate for a car like this?

Security guard: I am not sure. But it'll be at least ten yuan an hour.

Benjamin: How mush would it cost if someone parks here for one hour and ten minutes?

Security guard: That would be twenty yuan, sir. We charge only by the number of hours, no split of each hour.

Benjamin: That's expensive.

本杰明：我們社區的停車場有多大？

保安：這兒有50個停車位。

本杰明：那你們一定會很忙吧。

保安：為什么呢？

本杰明：我猜它一直車滿為患。

保安：恰恰相反，先生。人們把車開出去上班時，這兒很多車位都空了。

本杰明：呵......我知道了。

保安：我們打算把一部分車位按小時收費租出去。

本杰明：那每小時停車收費是多少呢？

保安：我不敢肯定。不過不會少于10元錢。

本杰明：如果有人在這里停了1小時零10分鐘呢？

保安：那就是20塊錢了，先生。我們只按小時整點收費，不按部分收費。

Security guard: There are fifty parking spaces in our community's parking lot. But it's almost empty during the day time because people drive their cars out to work . So I suppose it's a good idea to rent some of the parking spaces out at hourly rates. That would be a good way to make some money.
