地道美语听力练习:公寓的类型和特征

Lily:Thanks for coming with me to meet the rental agent to view an apartment, but I think I'm lost.

I'm supposed to be there in 10 minutes, but I can't find it.

There are four different apartment complexes located next to each other and they look identical.

Omid:Don't you have the address?

Lily:Yes, but all of the complexes in this subdivision look the same, and I don't see a street number on any of them.

Omid:Are you sure we're looking for a block of apartments?

Maybe the apartment is in a mixed-use building, like that one over there.

Lily:I'm pretty sure.

At least I know it's in a high-rise building and the apartment is on the eighth floor.

That mixed-use building is only three stories high.

Omid:Oh, then it's not a duplex or triplex, like those over there.

Lily:No, it's definitely not one of those.

I'd better call the rental agent and get directions.

Omid:Hey, look over there.I see a couple of the residents of that building walking out.

Let's ask them. Excuse me. Excuse me! Oh, they didn't hear me.

Lily:I'll just make the call.

Omid:Well, you can be sure of one thing if you move into one of these complexes.

Lily:What?

Omid:The bill collectors will never be able to find you!
