美语会话实录第154期(MP3+文本):Bank transfer

英文原文:

Beth: That's no problem. We can pay that immediately.
LL: And I've brought two contracts here. I've written on both copies that small repairs under two thousand NT are your responsibility.
Beth: And anything over that, you'll take care of?
LL: Certainly. I'd also prefer that you pay the rent by bank transfer.
Beth: Sure. That's easy for us, too. Just give me your account number and bank code.
LL: It's written on your contract.

参考译文:

贝丝：那超过两千元，你会负担？

贝丝：好。那样我们也比较方便。只要给我你的帐号跟银行代码就行了。
房东：都写在你们的合约上了。
