李华在陪Larry找房子。他们会用到两个常用语:on the same wavelength和ballpark estimate.
LH: Larry,这房子到底在什么地方啊?我走得腿都疼了。
Larry: Believe me, Lihua, I'm tired too. This is the fifth place I've looked at in the last two days. Hopefully, I'll find my new apartment soon.
LH: 啊?两天里你已经看了4个地方,却一个都看不上?是不是你太挑剔了?
Larry: Well, it's not just a matter of how I like the apartment, Lihua. All the current housemates have to like me, as well. Sometimes a good shared apartment in a good location is very competitive.
LH: 是啊,你想找个多人合租的大公寓,所以公寓里的每个室友都得喜欢你,等
