Man: Hi, there. My wife and I are here to see some of the new units. Isn't that right, honey? So what do you think, sweetheart?
男：你好！我夫人和我想来看看一些新单元，是不是啊！亲爱的，你觉得怎么样啊，甜心！
Woman A: Hm, it's fine. But I think the place on 52nd better.
女甲：嗯！还好。但我觉得52街的那间更好一些。
Man: 52nd that's awful close to your mother.
男：52街，离你母亲家很近啊。
Woman A: No, no, no, we're not talking about my mother.
女甲：不不不，我们不谈我妈的事。
Man: Well, I...look, it doesn't matter to me, I mean, I love being near your mother. I love your mother.
男：我倒是没关系啊。我喜欢住得离你妈近一些，我很爱你母亲。
Woman A: So why don't you tell us something about your little building?
女甲：你何不跟我们介绍一下，这栋大厦的情况。
Woman B: Well, I think you'll find that not only are the amenities top quality, so are the tenants.
女乙：我想你们会发现，不仅我们的设施是一流的，住户也是高素质人群。
Man: That's good to hear. Yeah, 'cause we're not just looking at buying square footage, but really put down some roots.
男：那太好了。是啊，因为我们不只是要买块地方，更是要在这儿安家的。
Woman B: Well, that is such the right way to look at it.
女乙：这里正是安家的明智选择。
Woman A: Is it?
女甲：是吗？
Woman B: Yes, and I think you'll also find that the people who've bought here, they're like you. They're young, ambitious. Is there a problem? Any other questions I can answer?
女乙：是啊！你们还会发现入住的住户，他们跟你们很像——年轻，上进。有什么问题吗？有什么疑问我能回答的吗？
Man: I'm sorry. My wife here...my beautiful wife is just...gets a little paranoid sometimes, you know? You wouldn't believe how long it took her to just go out with me in the first place.
男：对不起，我老婆……我美丽的老婆有的时候会有点多疑。你懂吗？你都不会相信，我花了多长时间才让她答应跟我约会。
