陳太太委托物業(yè)代理李彼得幫她找出售辦公物業(yè)的資料。這天李彼得帶陳太太來看一個待售的寫字間。陳太太對這個寫字間很不滿意，請代理再幫她找合適的處所。
A--Agent Peter Lee
物業(yè)代理李彼得
B--Buyer Mrs. Chen
買家陳太太
A: Mrs. Chen, what do you think about this unit?
陳太太，你覺得這個寫字間怎么樣？
B: I don't like this unit because the view is terrible. Take a look. It is so
close to the other old buildings.
我不喜歡，因為觀景很差。你看，太接近那些舊大廈。
A: I see, Mrs. Chen. I have another unit on the twenty-second floor. The view
is much better.
我明白，陳太太。我有另一個在二十二樓的寫字間，觀景好多了。
(They take an elevator to the twenty-second floor and Peter Lee opens the
door.)
（他們乘搭電梯到二十二樓，李彼得開門入內。）
A: Please come in, Mrs. Chen.
陳太太，請進來。
B: The area is a little bit small. What size is it?
這個寫字間面積相對小一點，究竟有多大？
A: The gross area is around four hundred and fifty square feet and the net
area is three hundred square feet.
建筑面積約四百五十平方英尺，使用面積約三百平方英尺。
B: How much does it cost?
多少錢？
A: Let me check for you. This one is two point two million Hong Kong dollars
and the price is open to negotiation.
讓我看一下。這寫字間售價是二百二十萬港幣，可以面議。
B: Well! The average gross rate is about five thousand Hong Kong dollars per
square foot and the net rate is around seven thousand and three hundred Hong
Kong dollars per square foot. I think it is much too expensive for
me.
噢！建筑面積平均約為每平方英尺港幣五千元，實用面積約每平方英尺七千三百元。這價錢對我來說太貴了。
A: Mrs. Chen, the
demand for commercial buildings is steadily increasing right now. Also, the Mong
Kok Center is a high quality office building. It is such a busy area for
business. Think about it, whether for investment purposes or self-use it is
still worthwhile.
陳太太，近期寫字樓市場需求穩(wěn)定上升。旺角中心是一幢優(yōu)質商業(yè)大廈。非常適合做生意。請考慮一下，無論投資或自用都很值得。
B: Anyway, I would like to compare it with some other commercial buildings
near this location. Can you help me?
無論如何，我想和附近其他的商業(yè)大廈比較一下，你能不能再幫我找一些？

噢！好的，陳太太。我會盡快提供其它他物業(yè)資料給你參考。
B: Thank you very much.
非常感謝。
A: You're welcome.
不用客氣。
