Hello, Linda speaking.
你好，我是Linda。
Oh hi, Linda.
哦，你好，Linda。
This is Matt Brooks. Alex White gave me your number.
我是Matt Brooks。Alex White给了我你的电话。
He said you'd be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford.
他说你能给我一些关于搬到Banford的建议。
Yes, Alex did mention you. How can I help?
是的，Alex确实提到你了。我能帮上什么忙吗？
Well, first of all -- which area to live in?
好的，首先--该住在什么地方呢？
Well, I live in Dalton, which is a really nice suburb -- not too expensive, and there's a nice park.
恩，我住在Dalton，是超级好的郊区——不是很贵，旁边有一个很棒的公园。
Sounds good. Do you know how much it would be to rent a two bedroom flat there?
听起来不错。你知道租一个两室的公寓要多少钱吗？
Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for 850 pounds per month.
每个月850磅是合理的价格。
That's what people typically pay.
大家一般都付这么多房租。
You certainly wouldn't want to pay more than 900 pounds.
你肯定不想付比900磅更高的房租。
That doesn't include bills or anything.
里面不包括账单或者其他的任何东西。
No. That sounds alright. I'll definitely have a look there.
还行，听起来还可以。我肯定会留意一下的。
Are the transport links easy from where you live?
你住的地方交通方便吧？
Well, I'm very lucky. I work in the city centre so I don't have to use public transport. I go by bike.
是的，我非常幸运。我在市中心工作，所以没必要使用公共交通。我骑自行车上下班。
Oh, I wish I could do that.
哦，好希望我也可以。
Is it safe to cycle around the city?
在城市里骑自行车安全吗？
Yes, it's fine. And it keeps me fit.
是的，还不错。而且骑自行车能让我保持健康。
Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare because there's hardly any parking.
但是，在市中心开车是个噩梦，因为没什么停车的地方。
And the traffic during the rush hour can be bad.
高峰期的交通状况非常糟糕。
I'd be working from home but I'd have to go to London one or two days a week.
我会在家里工作，但是我一周一到两天要去伦敦。
Oh, that's perfect. Getting to London is no problem.
哦，那很棒啊。去伦敦没问题的。
There's a fast train every 30 minutes which only takes 45 minutes. That's good.
每三十分钟都有高速列车，列车只需要运行45分钟。很好哎。
Yeah, the train service isn't bad during the week.
对，工作日的火车服务都不错。
And they run quite late at night. It's weekends that are a problem.
而且它们晚上运行到很晚。但是周末的话会很成问题的。
They're always doing engineering work and you have to take a bus to Hadham
他们总是在做一些工程工作，你得坐公交车去Hadham，
and pick up the train there, which is really slow.
然后从那里坐火车，那里的火车真的很慢。
But other than that, Banford's a great place to live. I've never been happier.
但是除此之外，Banford确实是一个很好的居住之地。我一直过得很开心。
