Phoning an Agency for a Flat Share

Estate Agent: Brighton Estate Agent, how can I help you?
房地产中介：布莱顿房地产中介，请问需要什么服务吗？

Marisa: Well, I'm looking for a furnished flat close to the University of Sussex.
马莉莎：嗯，我想找附家具的公寓，靠近萨西克斯大学。

EA: Right, urn, do you have any particular area in mind?
中介：好的，呃，您心里有特定想要找那个区域吗？

M: No, actually, I'm quite new to Brighton. What I'm looking for is a furnished flat within walking distance of the university or I don't mind commuting by train if it's within a half hour or so.
马莉莎：没有，事实上，我对布莱顿不怎么熟。我想要找的是附家具的公寓，可以走路到大学，或者搭火车半小时之内可达的也可以。

EA: What type of accommodation are you looking for? An entire flat just for you or...
中介：您也要找到时哪种型式的住宿？一个人租一整层公寓还是......

M: I'm looking for a room to rent.
马莉莎：我要租一个房间。

EA: All right, so you don't mind sharing the bathroom and kitchen with others.
中介：好的，所以您不介意和其他人共享浴室和厨房。

M: No. Not at all. And about the rent, say ￡100 inclusive per week is the max. Mod cons such as a washing machine and microwave are a must.
马莉莎：不，一点也不介意，至于租金，一个礼拜100 英镑含水电是我的上限。现代化家电用品例如洗衣机、微波炉一定要有。

EA: OK, is there anything else you need?
