Shari: Okay, ready to see more homes? I’ve lined up several for you to view this afternoon.
莎莉：好的，準(zhǔn)備好看更多房源了嗎？我已經(jīng)安排了幾處房子供你下午參觀。
Ron: Yes, I’m ready. It’s hard finding just the right type of neighborhood to move to.
羅恩：是的，我準(zhǔn)備好了。找個(gè)心儀的社區(qū)居住并不容易。
Shari: Yes, it’s been difficult, hasn’t it? How long have I been showing you homes?
莎莉：對(duì)，很困難，不是嗎？我?guī)憧捶孔佣嚅L(zhǎng)時(shí)間了？
Ron: About three months.
羅恩：大概三個(gè)月了吧。
Shari: That’s right. First we looked at homes in planned and gated communities and in the bedroom communities around the city, as you requested.
莎莉：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。首先，根據(jù)你的需求，我們查看了在建的、封閉式社區(qū)的房源，以及城市周邊的近郊住宅社區(qū)。
Ron: That’s right. At first, I thought I wanted a quiet place to live in my retirement.
羅恩：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。起先，我覺(jué)得自己需要一處幽靜的地方安度晚年生活。
Shari: That’s why I also showed you homes in retirement communities.
莎莉：這也是我在退休社區(qū)給你找房子的原因。
Ron: Yes, but once I saw them, I changed my mind. I’m retired, but I’m not dead. I decided I wanted a livelier neighborhood, someplace with more action.
羅恩：是的，不過(guò)看過(guò)這些房子后，我改變主意了。我是退休了，但不是壽終正寢。我決定選一處更有活力的社區(qū)，一個(gè)需要多走動(dòng)的環(huán)境。
Shari: That’s why I showed you homes in the historic district and in the redeveloped waterfront area, both of which are very pedestrian-friendly.
莎莉：所以我?guī)憧戳藲v史悠久的社區(qū)和重新開(kāi)發(fā)的濱水區(qū)房屋，這兩處地方都很適合閑庭信步。
Ron: Yes, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to be in the middle of the action.
羅恩：沒(méi)錯(cuò)，可我考慮得越久，越想搬到市中心生活。
Shari: That’s why, today, I’m taking you to the urban core. We’ll look at homes in the downtown area, the arts district, and a couple of ethnic enclaves. We’ll visit some high-priced neighborhoods and some up-and-coming.
莎莉：所以啊，今天，我?guī)闳ナ袇^(qū)核心地段看房子。我們將拜訪市中心區(qū)、藝術(shù)區(qū)和一些少數(shù)民族聚居區(qū)。我們會(huì)參觀一些高價(jià)社區(qū)和一些有前景的社區(qū)。
Ron: Great! I think house-hunting has given me a new lease on life. This is fun! I could look at home after home after home.
羅恩：太好了！我覺(jué)得找房子給我的生活帶來(lái)了新的希望。這件事很有趣!我可以一家一家地篩選。
Shari: That’s what I’m afraid of.
莎莉：這也正是我所擔(dān)心的。
