Larry陪李华一起找公寓。李华今天要学两个常用语，Up for grabs（可以得到的，待价而沽的）和psyched（特别高兴）.
只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分，中文对话部分（包括里面个别的英语词组）不需要听写！！
Hints:
Wow
$
Oh, hey,
Ok

Wow! Check out the price for this place.
Wait, what's your budget? I forgot, $2000 a month? How much you should be able to afford after getting that new job!
Well, it's $1200 per month. I guess I'll keep looking. Oh, hey, this one looks tempting "one bedroom in group house for $675 up for grabs.
"Up for grabs" is a casual, informal way of saying that something is available, but you have to compete for it!
In this case, it means that the room is available to the first suitable person who is willing to take the room and pay for it.
Hello? Hi there. Is your room still available? Ok, if it's still up for grabs, we'll be there in half an hour.LL: Wow! Check out the price for this place.
LH: 很便宜吗？多少钱？
LL: Wait, what's your budget? I forgot, $2000 a month? How much you should be able to afford after getting that new job!
LH: 两千块的房子我可住不起。我的标准是，房租不能超过一千美金！
LL: Well, it's $1200 per month. I guess I'll keep looking. Oh, hey, this one looks tempting "one bedroom in group house for $675 up for grabs.
LH: 跟别人合租，675美元一个月，价钱倒是满便宜的，可是 Larry, 广告上说的up for grabs是什么意思啊？
LL: "Up for grabs" is a casual, informal way of saying that something is available, but you have to compete for it!
LH: 啊？还要跟别人争啊，是不是看谁出价高呢？
LL: In this case, it means that the room is available to the first suitable person who is willing to take the room and pay for it.
LH: 哦，那咱们下手为强。太好了，我们现在正好有时间。快打电话给他们。
LL: (Calling) Hello? Hi there. Is your room still available? Ok, if it's still up for grabs, we'll be there in half an hour.
LH: 太好了，Larry, 你看。那一带还有好几处价格比较合适的房子，咱们正好一块看了。 |
