2.實用對話
Persuading Others勸說他人
Jane: This is the house I want to rent.
簡：這就是我想租的房子。
Jack: Why? What do you think it has that the others don't?
杰克：為什么是這個房子？你覺得它有什么其他房子不具備的優點嗎？
Jane: Well, four things come to mind: first, it's comfortable; second. I love the view - the city looks beautiful from here;
third, it comes fully finished with all modern appliances; finally, it is close to downtown where we work.
簡：嗯，我想有四點：首先，它很舒適愜意；其次，我喜歡這里的風景——這個城市從這兒看上去很美；再次，它配備了所有現代化的電器；最后，它離市中心也就是我們工作的地方很近。
Jack: I hear what you were saying. and I agree with you. But what's the rent?
杰克：我聽了你的敘述也覺得很有道理。但是租金是多少呢？
Jane: $200 per week.
簡：一周200美元。
Jack: That's a lot more expensive than the other areas we looked at. Do you think we can bargain the rent down?
杰克：這可比我們看的其他地方的房子貴多了。你覺得我們可以砍下價來嗎？
Jane: Don't you think I can save a lot on bus fares? Everything is so convenient and close, especially work.
簡：難道你不覺得這樣我可以省下一筆交通費來嗎？這里一切都很方便，尤其是離工作的地方還很近。
Jack: Is it worth all the effort? You only work twice a week and shop once a week. The university isn't that close and you'd
have to spend a lot on the bus every day to get there.
杰克：這值得嗎？你每周只上兩次班，逛一次街。這里離學校又不近，你每天還是要花很多錢來坐公交車的。
Jane: True. But I do like it, so I’ll have to think about it some more．
簡：這倒是真的，不過我確實喜歡它，我再考慮考慮吧。
