Katie: Excellent. Thank you so much! How about a car? Can I park my car?
凯蒂：太棒了。太感谢你了！那车呢？有停车的地方吗？

Todd: Ah, that's a problem. You can't park your car because there's no space, but there's a cheap parking lot about maybe two blocks away.
托德：停车是个问题。没办法停车，因为没有地方，不过两个街区之外有一个便宜的停车场。

Katie: OK.
凯蒂：好。

Todd: So, it's only a couple dollars a day.
托德：停车费一天只要几美元。

Katie: OK, I guess I can park my car there. How about cooking there? Can I cook?
凯蒂：好，我想我可以把车停在那里。那能做饭吗？我可以在你家里做饭吗？

Todd: Of course, you can cook. I have a stove, a frigerator. You can bring your own food. You can do whatever you want.
托德：当然可以了，你可以做饭。我有灶具和冰箱。你可以带食物过来。你可以做任何你想做的事情。

Katie: Excellent. Thank you. Can I use the Internet?
凯蒂：太好了。谢谢你。我可以用网吗？

Todd: You can use the Internet. There's a password. I will write down the password before I leave, and I will write down the password before you get there.
托德：可以。我家的网需要密码。我在离开前会把密码写给你，在你到那里之前，我会把密码写下来。

Katie: Excellent. Thank you so much! I was thinking about asking my friend if he can stay. Can my friend stay over?
凯蒂：真好。太谢谢你了！我想请朋友过来住。我朋友能住下吗？

Todd: Yeah, sure, so your friend can stay. Not a problem I don't think.
托德：可以，你朋友可以住下。我想那不是问题。

Katie: He has a dog? Can he bring his dog?
凯蒂：他养了只狗。他能把狗带来吗？

Todd: Oh, that is a problem. Does the dog have a cage?
托德：哦，那是个问题。他有狗笼吗？

Katie: Ah, no, but we can get a cage.
凯蒂：没有，不过我们可以找个狗笼。

Todd: I'm not sure about the dog. If the dog is in a cage, it's OK in the house but I think you can't have the dog in the house.
托德：带狗过来这件事，我不确定。如果他的狗在狗笼里，那我觉得没问题，可以带到我家去，不过不能让狗出狗笼，在房子里待着。

Katie: OK, how about smoking? My friend is a very heavy smoker. Can he smoke outside?
凯蒂：好，那可以抽烟吗？我朋友烟瘾很大。他能在房子外抽烟吗？

凯蒂：那如果我们想办派对呢？我们能办派对吗？

Todd: Yeah, you can have a party. That's OK, but please be quiet. Don't be too loud. The neighbors live very close to my house.
托德：可以，你们可以举办派对。那没问题，不过尽量安静一些。不要太吵。邻居离得很近。

Katie: Alright, that sounds good. Thanks. And I have one more question. Can I use the washing machine?
凯蒂：好，听起来不错。谢谢你。我还有一个问题。我能用洗衣机吗？

Todd: Yeah, of course. You can use anything. You use the washing machine. You can use the Internet. You can use the TV. You can use anything you like.
托德：当然可以了。你什么都能用。你可以用洗衣机，可以用网，可以看电视。你想用什么就用什么。

Katie: Wow, excellent. That sounds great. Thank you so much.
