Agent (Male)

So, we've seen three apartments today. What are your initial thoughts, especially comparing the one on Elm Street with the one on Maple Avenue?

我们今天看了三套公寓。您初步有什么想法，特别是把榆树街的那套和枫树大道上的那套做个比较？

Client (Female)

Well, the Elm Street apartment definitely has more space and the natural light is fantastic. But the kitchen felt a bit dated, and the building doesn't have many amenities.

嗯，榆树街的公寓空间确实更大，自然光也很棒。但厨房感觉有点过时，而且那栋楼的设施不多。

Agent (Male)

You're right about the kitchen. It would likely need some upgrades. As for amenities, it focuses more on larger living spaces. How about the Maple Avenue unit then?

您说厨房没错，可能需要一些装修。至于设施，它更注重更大的居住空间。那枫树大道的呢？

Client (Female)

The Maple Avenue apartment felt much more modern, and I loved the gym and the concierge service. The downside is the size; it's quite a bit smaller, and the second bedroom is really tiny.

枫树大道的公寓感觉现代化多了，我很喜欢那里的健身房和礼宾服务。缺点就是面积，小了不少，而且第二间卧室真的很小。

Agent (Male)

Yes, its appeal is definitely its modern amenities and prime location. Given your budget and your priority for two decent-sized bedrooms, the size difference is a valid concern.

是的，它的吸引力肯定是现代化的设施和优越的地理位置。考虑到您的预算和对两间大小适中卧室的优先需求，面积差异确实是个值得考虑的问题。

Client (Female)

Exactly. The third one, on Oak Street, was a good compromise on size, but the noise from the street was a real deal-breaker for me.

就是这样。第三套，橡树街的那个，在面积上是一个不错的折衷，但街上的噪音对我来说简直是无法接受的。

Agent (Male)

Understood. So, it sounds like spaciousness and a quieter environment are higher priorities than modern amenities or building services. Is that correct?

明白了。所以听起来，宽敞度和安静的环境比现代设施或建筑服务更优先。是这样吗？

Client (Female)

Yes, that's spot on. And the budget is pretty firm for any potential renovations as well.

是的，完全正确。而且任何潜在的翻新预算也相当固定。

Agent (Male)

Okay, that clarifies things greatly. Based on this feedback, I'll refine our search and send you some new listings that align more with these preferences. Perhaps we should focus on properties with renovation potential rather than move-in ready, to better fit your budget and space needs.

好的，这大大 S 帮助我理清了思路。根据这些反馈，我会调整我们的搜索范围，给您发送一些更符合这些偏好的新房源。或许我们应该更关注有翻新潜力的房产，而不是那种可以直接入住的，这样更能符合您的预算和空间需求。
