可以。（约数分钟后，陈路和罗伯茨先生到达鲁宾逊花园大厦入口处，保安警卫人员正在大厦大堂值班。）

（对保安警卫人员）你好，我是ABC公司的陈路，这是我的名片。（陈路在访客名单上签名，然后与罗伯茨先生乘电梯到达十八层楼。陈路以钥匙开门入内。）
A： Here it is, Mr.Roberts. On the left is the kitchen. At the back of the living room are the three bedrooms. The largest one is the master bedroom. You see the kitchen has basic appliances including a cooking stove, refrigerator, dryer and washing machine. Also, you'll notice the living room is large. The landlord will also provide furniture if you need it.
罗伯茨先生，这里就是了。左面是厨房，大厅后面是三个睡房，最大的是主人套房。你看，厨房内有基本家庭电器，包括煮食炉、冰箱、干衣机和洗衣机。同时，客厅相当宽敞，如果你需要家具，业主可为你安排。
B： How about the bedroom？
睡房是怎样的？

我带你去看。这是主人套房连浴室，景观非常好的，另外两个睡房是给小孩的。

我挺满意这里，我可否与太太和小孩明天再来看看？还有，这单位的租金能低一点吗？
A： I'm afraid not, Sir. The average rent in this area is around forty five thousand Hong Kong dollars per month. Since the landlord is in a hurry to lease the apartment, so he has already lowered the rent.
先生，恐怕不能，这区的单位平均月约港币四万五千元。业主因为急于出租，所以已将调低了。
