“hello, mr ji! this is howard residential services. my name is vanessa. are you still looking for the student’s apartment?(你好啊!纪先生!这里是howard学生住宿服务中心。我叫vanessa。你现在还需要学生公寓吗?)”
两人到了学生租房中心,vanessa热情地接待了他们,“the suite will be available in a week and it has two bedrooms. i know you are looking for a smaller one, but as you said in your application form – you wanted to move in quickly. so you can have a look first and then decide you want it or not.(这户一周以后就空出来了。它有两间卧室。我知道你们需要的是一间卧室的。但是既然你在申请表上写了着急要找房子,我就想打给你们试试看。我可以带着你们看看这间房,然后你们再做决定。你们觉得怎么样?)”
jk巴不得马上就定下房子。小婉拉了拉他,说道:“我要两间卧室干嘛?”
“你不是说不考虑价格了吗?”jk说道:“没有时间了,就让我为你做这件事,让我放心你,还不行吗?”
小婉差点要哭,vanessa虽然听不懂中文,但是也明白两人有争议,笑着说道:“i can give you a tour first. if you guys don’t want it, it’s totally fine.(我先带你们看看。要是你们不喜欢,也没事。)”说完了,她又看看两人问道:“are you going to move in together? actually if both of you living in the apartment, one bedroom is too small. you will need more space! trust me!(你们一起过来住吗?其实如果是你们两个人住的话,一间卧室的会显得有点小。相信我,多一点空间是必要的。)”
jk笑着说道:“no, just my fiancée lives here.(不,就是我未婚妻住这里。)”想了想,又说道:“maybe you are right. we might need more space in the future.(说不定你是对的。我们或许将来会需要多一点空间。)”
vanessa一听” fiancée(未婚妻)”,激动地看了看小婉的手指头,忽然发现小婉的戒指竟然在脖子的项链上,有些好笑地问道:“why don’t wear your ring on the finger? is the size not right yet?(为什么你不把戒指戴在手上?尺寸不对吗?)”
小婉一下子不知道怎么回答,笑了起来,vanessa仔细看了看小婉哭肿的脸,又看了看jk的脸,明显也是哭过的,一下子激动地捂住了嘴,问道:“did you just propose? oh my god! congratulations!(难道你们刚刚才求的婚?我的天阿!恭喜恭喜?)”说着就对两个人拥抱了一下。
