今天的这段对话，在讨论搬家，
 
房租要到期了，为什么不能续租呢
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Okay, that's fine, bye.
 
好的，可以的，再见。
 
B: What happened?
 
怎么了？
 
A: That's it. My lease is up, I have to move.
 
是这样的，我的房租要到期啦，我要搬房子了。
 
B: What? Why? Can't you renew it?
 
什么？为什么？不能续租吗？
 
A: The owner apparently is selling this place to make way for the construction of a parking lot.
 
很明显，房东要把这里卖出去赚些钱建停车场。
 
B: Well, I can help you pack. We should start looking for a new place for you ASAP.
 
好吧。我可以帮你打包，我们要尽快帮你找个新房子。
 
A: I think I might move in with my parents for a couple of months until I can find something. You know how hard it is to find a decent place around here. I'm gonna have to put most of my stuff in storage for a while.
 
我觉得我可能得搬去跟我父母住几个月，直到我找到房子。你知道的，在这儿附近找到一个好的地方太难了。我要把我大部分东西寄存在这儿一段时间。
 
B: Well, let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.
 
好的，如果有什么需要我帮忙跟我说。
 
A: Actually, would you mind looking after my pet tarantula and snake for a couple of weeks?
 
其实，你介意帮我照看一下我的宠物狼蛛和宠物蛇几个星期嘛？
 
B: He he. Sure.
 
当然。
