Moreover the furniture was too obsolete, we move to trade more than 50%......” “我们应该再去看看别的房屋,这里餐厅的采光太差,阳台又很小,你们看,只有那个卧室有壁炉,而且家具都太陈旧了,我们搬进来得换一半以上……” His language fast selected one pile of problems not so fast but so slow neither, with ten minutes of time successes „convincing” Skutt, making him fall house rent 12 shilling the price, a furniture working cost 3 pennies degree, the deposit also collected entire is 2 pounds 他语速不快不慢地挑了一堆毛病,用十分钟的工夫成功“说服”了斯卡特,让他把价格降到了房租12苏勒,家具使用费三便士的程度,押金也凑整为二镑 Has not wasted the time again, the brother and sister three people follow Skutt to return to „Thengen House Improvement Company”, signed the contract duplicate, and looked for the notary notarization to the Thengen City notarization. 没再浪费时间,兄妹三人跟着斯卡特返回“廷根市改善住房公司”,签署了一式两份的合同,并到廷根市公证所找了公证员公证。 After handing over the deposit and first week house rent, Klein and Benson remaining money add also to have 9 pounds 2 shilling 8 pennies. 交了押金和首周房租后,克莱恩和班森剩下的钱加起来还有九镑二苏勒零8便士。 Stands in the 2 Narcissus Flower Street entrance, they take one bunch of copper keys respectively, for a while cannot move to the eye unexpectedly, tumbles various mood. 站在水仙花街2号的门口,他们分别拿着一串铜制钥匙,一时竟移不开眼睛,翻滚起各种情绪。 „Felt like has a dream......” after a while, Melissa raised the head, is looking later „Moretti family”, the voice lowly and said floating. “感觉像是做了一场梦……”过了一阵,梅丽莎抬起头,望着之后的“莫雷蒂家”,嗓音低而飘地说道。 Benson sighed, the smile said: 班森吐了口气,微笑道: „then don't wake up.” “那就不要醒来。” The Klein their feelings, have not nodded saying: 克莱恩没他们那么感触,点了点头道: „We must as soon as possible replace the front door and balcony gate lock.” “我们得尽快把大门和阳台门的锁换掉。” „This does not need to worry, the Thengen House Improvement Company prestige is good. What remaining is the expenditure of your formal dress, but, before then, we must go to Mister Frank there.” Benson referred to the apartment direction. “这个不用着急,廷根市改善住房公司的信誉非常好。剩下的是你正装的花费,不过,在此之前,我们得去弗兰奇先生那里。”班森指了指公寓方向。 ............ ………… Went home to assemble was gnawing rye bread, the brother and sister three people association row of apartment there that went to Iron Cross Street to take to the streets, sounded the front door of landlord. 回家凑合着啃了黑麦面包,兄妹三人又前往铁十字街上街的联排公寓那里,敲响了房东的大门。 „You should know that my principle, does not permit the rent payment absolutely!” Small Mister Frank sits on the sofa, has the imposing manner to declare very much. “你们应该知道我的原则,绝对不允许拖欠租金！”个子矮小的弗兰奇先生坐在沙发上,很有气势地宣称。 The Benson body leans forward, the smile opens the mouth saying: 班森身体前倾,微笑开口道: „Mister Frank, we are break a lease.” “弗兰奇先生,我们是来退租的。” Such directly? Like this negotiated really? Klein hears a surprise in side. 这么直接？这样谈判真地好吗？克莱恩在旁边听得一阵诧异。 On road of coming, Benson has said that his bottom line compensates 12 shilling. 过来的路上,班森说过,他的底线是赔偿12苏勒。 „Breaks a lease? No! We have the contract, a half year!” Frank is staring Benson, brandishes the arm to say. “退租？不！我们有合约的,还有半年！”弗兰奇瞪着班森,挥舞起手臂道。 Benson earnest looks at he, after subsiding, said calm: 班森认真看着他,等到平息之后才沉稳说道: „Mister Frank, you should be very clear, you should earn quite a lot.” “弗兰奇先生,您应该很清楚,您应当赚得更多。” „Earns?” Frank touched under thin face, is interested very much asks. “赚得更多？”弗兰奇摸了下自己瘦削的脸庞,很感兴趣地反问道。 Benson sits the straight body, explained with a smile: 班森坐直身体,含笑解释: „Two-bedroom rents to our three people, is 5 shilling 6 pennies, but if you rent to these to have five people and six people it, and two three are even working and taking the family of wage, I think that they are definitely willing to pay for this reason are more, under rather than goes to street that public security very bad place, 5 shilling 10 pennies, or 6 shilling, I think that is the reasonable price.” “两居室租给我们三个人,是五苏勒六便士,但如果您将它租给那些有五口人、六口人,并有两个甚至三个在工作、在拿薪水的家庭,我想他们肯定愿意为此支付更多,而不是去下街那种治安非常差的地方,五苏勒十便士,或者六苏勒,我认为是合理的价格。” Sees the Frank eye to shine, the throat wriggles, he continues saying: 见弗兰奇眼睛发亮,喉咙蠕动,他继续说道: „Moreover, you definitely know, in recent years, the rent of house has assumed the upward trend, we live for a long time, you lose are more.” “而且,您肯定知道,最近几年,房屋的租金一直呈上涨趋势,我们住得越久,您损失越多。” „But......
