Jane: Well, four things come to mind: first, it's comfortable; second. I love the view - the city looks beautiful from here;
third, it comes fully finished with all modern appliances; finally, it is close to downtown where we work.
简：嗯，我想有四点：首先，它很舒适惬意；其次，我喜欢这里的风景——这个城市从这儿看上去很美；再次，它配备了所有现代化的电器；最后，它离市中心也就是我们工作的地方很近。

have to spend a lot on the bus every day to get there.

详细解说

3.详细解说

1.“come to mind”意为“突然想起，出现于某人的脑海中”，例如：-Do you have any suggestions? -Nothing immediately comes to mind. ( -你有什么建议吗？-一下子也想不起什么来。）
2.“first...second...third....finally...”用于列举事实，可使语言更有条理，逻辑性更强。
3.短语“agree with sb.”表示“赞同某人的观点”，例如：For what you have pointed out.I agree with you.（我赞同你提出的观点。）
4.“spend“的意思是“花费”，通常用于“spend.on sth.”或“spend…( in)doing sth.”的结构。
