咨询买房渠道dialogue
英语情景对话A:I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.
A:今年春天开始找房子是不错的时机。
B:We should plan to move out of here before July. I'm tired of living in apartments.
B:我们应该计划在七月前搬走。我已经厌倦住公寓了。A:I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a house.
A:亲爱的,我知道,我也是。但是我们一直忙得没时间去找房子。B:We need to find a good realtor.
B:我们需要找个好的房地产经纪人。A:Not necessary. If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more expensive.
A:不需要。如果我们委托经纪人找房子,会比较贵。B:What do you mean?
B:怎么说呢?A:Realtors always get a commission. If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.
A:房地产经纪人都要抽佣金的。如果经纪人帮我们找到房子,我们就要付他钱。B:But doesn't a realtor help with the contract? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles.
B:不过经纪人也会帮忙处理合约的事啊?我想他们应该会留意法律的问题。A:Yes, that's often true. But you have to pay them.
A:是的,通常是如此,但是你要付他们钱。B:I still think we should have a realtor. We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house. He can tell us if the house has any problems.
B:我还是认为应该要找个经纪人。我们才刚来这个国家,不知道买房子的所有法律条款。而且经纪入还会检查房子。他可以告诉我们房子有没有问题。A:Of course we need a house inspector. But we can hire an inspector on our own. As for the legal problems, Ihave friends. They can help us.
A:当然我们需要房子检查员。不过我们可以自己请检查员就好。至于法律问题,我有朋友,他们可以帮忙。B:So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor?
B:如果不找经纪人,那我们要怎么找到房子呢?A:It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads. Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them.
A:要花多一点时间。我们必须看看报纸上的广告。或许专门的房地产杂志上也有广告。然后我们必须开车去看房子。B:And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor?
B:那么卖房子的人不会找经纪人吗?A:Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves.
A:有时会,有时不会。最好是找自己卖房子的人。B:Why?
B:为什么?A:That is because if the seller has a realtor, their price will be higher. He will have to pay a commission to the realtor.
A:因为如果卖主找经纪人,房价就会比较高。他必须付经纪人佣金。B:Hmm. It all sounds very complicated.
B:嗯,听起来挺复杂的。A:It is. But buying a house is very important. So it takes time. That's why we haven't done it yet. It's very troublesome.
A:是啊。不过买房子很重要,所以要花时间。那就是为什么我们还没开始的原因,很麻烦的。B:I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something we like.
B:我今天要看看报纸,或许可以找到喜欢的。A:All right. I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drugstore.
A:好,我去药店的时候会买份报纸的。-
