Talking About Rising Rent with a Friend

和朋友聊房租上涨

You are walking with a friend and mention that your rent may go up soon.

对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    You've gone quiet. Is this about the rent email you mentioned yesterday?

    你突然安静下来了。是因为你昨天提到的那封房租邮件吗?

    中文提示

    Yes, the landlord said it might go up. I haven't seen the exact number yet, but I'm already nervous.

    对,房东说可能要涨。我还没看到具体数字,但已经开始紧张了。

  2. 对话 2

    That's understandable. If it's a small rise, staying put might still be cheaper than moving.

    这很正常。如果涨幅不大,留在原处可能还是比搬家便宜。

    中文提示

    That's what I was thinking. The deposit, agency fees, and moving costs add up to quite a lot too.

    我也是这么想的。押金、中介费、搬运费加起来也很多。

  3. 对话 3

    Would getting a flatmate help, or would that make the place feel too crowded?

    找个室友会有帮助吗?还是会让住处显得太挤?

    中文提示

    It might help, but I'd need someone I get along with. I don't want to feel tense every time I come home.

    可能有帮助,但我得找合得来的人。我不想每天回家都紧绷着。
