Jason：Hi, Antonia, I'm wondering if you could show me some apartments over the next few days? I'd like to rent a fully furnished apartment in Madrid for six months. （傑森：嗨，安東妮雅。我想知道妳接下來這幾天能不能帶我去看幾間公寓？ 我想在馬德里租一間設備齊全的公寓，為期六個月。）
Antonia：Certainly. But that will limit your options a bit, because in many cases a long-term lease is preferred. Of course there are still many apartments that will allow a short-term lease. However, you will need to sign a lease for three months. （安東妮雅：當然可以。不過那樣你的選擇會有所限制， 因為在大部分的情況下長期租約比較被接受。 當然可以住短期的公寓還是很多，可是你得簽三個月的租約。）
Jason：That's not a problem. The minimum stay will be at least three months. （傑森：那沒問題。我最少也要住三個月。）
Antonia：OK, good. I have several I can show you tomorrow, if you like. For example, there's a very nice apartment in downtown Madrid available for €700 per month. The utilities are not included in that price, though. （安東妮雅：好，那很好。如果你要的話，我有幾間公寓，我明天就可以帶你去看。 譬如說，在馬德里市中心就有一間非常好的公寓可租，月租是七百歐元。 不過，這個價錢並不包含水電瓦斯。）
Jason：How much is the security deposit? （傑森：保證金是多少呢？）
Antonia：You must leave a security deposit of €1,200. （安東妮雅：你得留一千兩百歐元的保證金。）
Jason：Is the apartment fully furnished? （傑森：那間公寓設備齊全嗎？）
Antonia：Actually, it's only partially furnished. I think there is some furniture, such as a sofa and a bed, but you would need to buy some things, such as a coffee table and perhaps a few lamps. The kitchen is fully equipped, though. （安東妮雅：事實上只有部份裝潢。我想那裡有一些家具， 像是沙發和床，不過你會需要買些東西， 比如茶几和也許幾盞燈吧。不過，廚房倒是設備齊全。）
Jason：That sounds pretty good. Maybe I can look at that one tomorrow along with a few other apartments as well. （傑森：聽來很不錯。也許明天我可以去看看那間公寓，也可以看一下其他幾間。）
Antonia：Good. I will pick you up at your hotel lobby at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. （安東妮雅：好。我明天早上九點會到你的旅館大廳接你。）
