英文原文
Conversation 2
對(duì)話2
Okay, Miss Bright. I finished calculating. I estimate you have between 210 and 240 square meters of walls and ceiling.
好的,Bright女士。我算完了。我估計(jì)你有210到240平方米的墻壁和天花板需要粉刷。
So, how much would the paint job cost?
那么,粉刷工作要花多少錢呢?
That would depend on the quality of paint you choose. We carry two brands: one costs 60 cents every square meter, and the other, 90 cents. The second is guaranteed to look great for about 10 years, whereas the cheaper one will start to dull after around six or seven years.
這要看你選擇的油漆的質(zhì)量。我們有兩種品牌:一種是每平方米60美分,另一種是90美分。第二種保證看起來(lái)很好,大約能維持10年,而便宜的那種大約六七年之后就會(huì)開始褪色。
In that case, we would prefer the more expensive option.
這樣的話,我們更傾向于選擇更貴的那種。
All right, then. So, including labor cost, taxes, and everything, this job would come to $3,000.
好吧,那么。包括人工費(fèi)、稅費(fèi)等等,這項(xiàng)工作總共要花3000美元。
Hmm, to be perfectly honest, that's more than I expected. Please bear in mind that the price includes moving all the furniture, and the whole task would take 2 days.
嗯,說(shuō)實(shí)話,這比我想象的要貴。請(qǐng)記住,這個(gè)價(jià)格包括了搬動(dòng)所有家具的費(fèi)用,而且整個(gè)工作需要兩天時(shí)間。
Really? Why?
真的嗎?為什么?
Well, we can't paint the walls without clearing all the furniture first. So, every time we paint a room, we first have to move the furniture to another room. So, that takes more time, plus it requires two people, which works out more expensive.
嗯,我們必須先清空所有的家具才能刷墻。所以,每次我們刷一個(gè)房間的時(shí)候,我們都需要先把家具搬到另一個(gè)房間。所以,這需要更多的時(shí)間,而且還需要兩個(gè)人,這就更貴了。
I see. But does that mean I could not live here in my own house during those two days?
我明白了。那是不是意味著在這兩天里我不能住在自己的房子里?
That is correct.
是的。
Oh, well, that changes everything. I'm afraid I would have to stay with a friend or check into a hotel. I hadn't considered any of that.
哦,好吧,這改變了一切。恐怕我得去朋友家住或者去住酒店了。我之前沒(méi)有考慮到這些。
I'm starting to realize that painting my house is far more troublesome than I had anticipated.
我開始意識(shí)到,粉刷我的房子比我之前預(yù)想的要麻煩得多。
This is usually the case. Most of our clients go through the same.
這通常是這樣的情況。我們的大多數(shù)客戶都經(jīng)歷過(guò)同樣的事情。
I see. You have my number. Please feel free to call me for any further questions.
我明白了。你有我的電話號(hào)碼。有任何問(wèn)題請(qǐng)隨時(shí)給我打電話。
Thank you.
謝謝。
