美語會(huì)話 158 Every little bit counts能省多少是多少

Gill: That's really convenient. We were wondering if you could take a little off the rent, though.

LL: I can take two thousand off. That'll make the rent twenty-eight thousand.

Gill: That's great. Every little bit counts. And we don't need the parking space. I guess we could rent it out.

LL: Sure, for at least three thousand per month.

Gill: That'll bring the price down to twenty-five. That's the price we were shooting for.

LL: I'm glad. Now, there's a deposit fee of two month's rent.

吉爾：太棒了。能省多少是多少。而且我們不需要車位。我想我們可以租出去。

房東：當(dāng)然，租金至少可以定在一個(gè)月三千元。
