Looking for a roommate(寻找一位室友)

Ronald was moving to college. He needed a place to stay. Every apartment around the school was very expensive. "I'm going to be a homeless college student," he joked.
Ronald thought of a solution. He posted an advertisement online. He wrote, "Looking for roommate around college campus. Must be neat and sane" Within one day, he had twenty replies. Ronald didn't really want to share an apartment with a stranger. However, this was the only way he could afford anything. "I just hope he's not dirty or crazy," he thought. After interviewing everyone, he picked a guy he really liked. They ended up being friends their whole life.

罗纳德要上大学了。他需要一个地方住。学校周围的每套公寓都很贵。“我要成为一个无家可归的大学生了”他开玩笑说。
罗纳德想出了一个解决办法。他在网上发布了一则广告。他写道：“在大学校园里寻找室友。”一天之内，他就收到了二十封回信。罗纳德真的不想和陌生人合租一套公寓。不过，只有这样他才能负担得起房租。“我只希望他讲卫生，也好相处。”他想。在面试了所有人之后，他挑选了一个他真正喜欢的人。他们成了一辈子的好朋友。
