(单词翻译:单击)

英文原文:

LL: Oh, you can rest assured that they'll be no problem.
Beth: Why is that?
LL: Your upstairs neighbors live in Canada and rarely come back to Taiwan. When they do, they're never home.
Beth: And the downstairs neighbors?
LL: Two flight attendants that are also in and out of town. When they're here, they're usually sleeping. And next door to you is me. I'm a quiet neighbor.
Beth: Sounds ideal. We'll get back to you in a couple of days then.


参考译文:

房东:喔,你放心,他们绝对没问题。
贝丝:为什么?
房东:你楼上的邻居住在加拿大,很少回台湾。就算回来,他们也都不在家。
贝丝:那楼下的邻居呢?
房东:也是两个飞来飞去的空服员。她们回来通常都在睡觉。隔壁的邻居就是我。我是个安静的邻居。
贝丝:听起来很理想。我们过几天跟你联络。
