Professor: In the next section, listen for the term "a steal." What do you think that means?
MC: Hmm ... steal在这里一定不是偷东西，而是指a very good deal， 就是说特别划算！
Professor: You got it!
Jeff: It's located in the suburbs? _____________________.
Sarah: OK. ____________________________.
Jeff: I know, that's my problem. What do you think I should do?
Sarah: Well, maybe you could get a two-bedroom apartment downtown and share the rent with a roommate.
Jeff: Oh, great idea!
Professor: So Winnie, can you tell me what the opposite of "the suburbs" is?
The suburbs指郊区，相反的肯定是downtown，也就是市区！ 不过，他们说"in the heart of something"是什么意思？
Professor: _____________________________.
我明白了，in the heart of something 就是指中心位置。
Professor: Good. Let's see what happens next.
Sarah: Well what about this two-bedroom apartment? ____________________________________.
Jeff: Wow, that would be very convenient. How much is the rent?
Sarah: It says it's $1600. But if you share it with another person, that's only $800 per month.
Jeff: That definitely sounds like a steal. _________________.
Sarah: That's true. I know that there are lots of popular restaurants and coffee shops around there.
Jeff真是好运气! 找到个两居室，月租只要1600美元，和室友分一下，一人八百块。It's a steal!
Professor: And the location of that apartment is also very good. It is only "steps from the metro," ____________________.
对啊，走几步就能到地铁站，太方便了！他们还说公寓所在的地方很trendy，就是很受欢迎的新潮区。那Jeff可要当机立断！
Jeff: Well, this apartment is really a must-see. Will you come with me to look at it this weekend?
Sarah: Sure. And if you rent it, maybe I can help you find a roommate too.
Jeff: Great! ____________________________?
Sarah: Yes, my friend Steve. I'll introduce you.
Sarah真是太够意思了，连找室友都包了！ Professor Bowman, 您说Jeff和Sarah推荐的室友Steve能合得来么？
Professor: Well, we'll have to listen next time and find out!Well even though that sounds like a steal, I really want something downtown
Well the problem is that the apartments in the heart of the city are usually more expensive
Being in the heart of something is the same as being in the very middle of it
The listing says it's right in the heart of the city, just steps from the metro
I think that is a very trendy neighborhood as well
meaning you only need to walk a short distance to the subway station
Do you know someone else who is also looking for an apartment
