House hunting

我吃了饭就来看房子了。

Wǒ chī le fàn jiù lái kàn fángzi le.

I went to look at the house after dinner.

我也是，接了你的电话，我马上就来这儿。

Wǒ yě shì, jiē le nǐ de diànhuà, wǒ mǎshàng jiù lái zhèr.

Me too, I answered your call and I'll be here right away.

上次你看了几套房子了？

Shàng cì nǐ kàn le jǐ tào fángzi le?

How many houses did you look at last time?

我看了三套房子，都不太满意，有的太小，有的周围环境太乱。

Wǒ kàn le sān tào fángzi, dōu bú tài mǎnyì, yǒu de tài xiǎo, yǒu de zhōuwéi huánjìng tài luàn.

I looked at three houses, but none of them were satisfactory. Some were too small, and some of the surroundings were too messy.

那我再带你去看几套房子吧。

Nà wǒ zài dài nǐ qù kàn jǐ tào fángzi ba.

Then let me take you to see a few more houses.

这几套房子，厨房、卧室还可以，但是客厅面积小了点儿。你有没有大点儿的？

Zhè jǐ tào fángzi, chúfáng, wòshì hái kěyǐ, dànshì kètīng miànjī xiǎo le diǎnr. Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu dà diǎnr de?

In these houses, the kitchens and bedrooms are okay, but the living room area is a bit small. Do you have any older ones?

有，楼上九层有一套，客厅三十多平米，我们上去看看吧。

Yǒu, lóu shàng jiǔ céng yǒu yí tào, kètīng sānshí duō píngmǐ, wǒmen shàngqù kànkan ba.

Yes, there is a suite on the ninth floor upstairs. The living room is more than 30 square meters. Let's go up and have a look.

这套房子下午没有阳光吧？

Zhè tào fángzi xiàwǔ méiyǒu yángguāng ba?

Doesn't this house get sunlight in the afternoon?

我还是想要上下午都有阳光的。

Wǒ háishì xiǎngyào shàng xiàwǔ dōu yǒu yángguāng de.

I still want to have sunshine in the morning and afternoon.

你怎么现在才回家？

Nǐ zěnme xiànzài cái huí jiā?

Why are you just going home now?

我早就下班了，路上堵车堵得厉害。

Wǒ zǎo jiù xiàbān le, lù shàng dǔchē dǔ de lìhai.

I got off work early and there was a huge traffic jam on the road.

今天我去看了三四套房子，有一套我觉得不错，等你休息的时候，我们一起去看看吧。

Jīntiān wǒ qù kàn le sān sì tào fángzi, yǒu yí tào wǒ juéde bú cuò, děng nǐ xiūxi de shíhou, wǒmen yì qǐ qù kànkan ba.

I went to see three or four houses today, and one of them I thought was good. Let’s go take a look at it while you’re having a rest.

交通方便吗？

交通很方便，楼下有公共汽车站，坐车十分钟就到公司了。汽车站旁边就是地铁站，附近还有学校、医院和超市。
