原文语境

Michael: The ceilings appear substantially lower than last week. I am not even certain if you showed me this exact unit. Carol: Michael, this is unequivocally the identical unit you toured. Michael: Where are all the attractive residents? I was told this complex was bustling with singles. As far as I can tell, I am the most eligible bachelor here. There is a fundamental rule in real estate: you should never be the best-looking person in the complex, because it is simple common sense, because otherwise you have nowhere to go but down. Carol: Is this an underlying financial dilemma? Some homeowners cushion the blow by renting out the spare bedroom. Michael: I am definitely not taking in roommates! I want a price reduction on the spot, or I am walking away. Carol: You will forfeit seven thousand dollars if you renege right now.

Michael: 这里的层高看起来明显比上周低。我都不能确定你带我看的究竟是不是这套房子。Carol: Michael,这千真万确就是你参观过的同一套。Michael: 那那些吸引人的单身住户呢?之前有人告诉我这个社区全是光鲜靓丽的单身人士。据我观察,我成了这整个小区最抢手的单身汉。房地产业有一条基本原则:你绝不能成为整个小区里最好看的人,因为这纯粹是常识,要真是那样,你就只能走下坡路了。Carol: 这是遇到了潜在的财务难题吗?有些业主会通过把多余房间出租出去来缓解冲击。Michael: 我绝对不会招室友!我要你们当场降价,否则我就甩手走人。Carol: 如果你现在反悔,你那七千美元定金就会直接打水漂。
