Conversation 2

对话2

Okay, Miss Bright. I finished calculating. I estimate you have between 210 and 240 square meters of walls and ceiling.

好的，Bright女士。我算完了。我估计你有210到240平方米的墙壁和天花板需要粉刷。

So, how much would the paint job cost?

那么，粉刷工作要花多少钱呢？

That would depend on the quality of paint you choose. We carry two brands: one costs 60 cents every square meter, and the other, 90 cents. The second is guaranteed to look great for about 10 years, whereas the cheaper one will start to dull after around six or seven years.

这要看你选择的油漆的质量。我们有两种品牌：一种是每平方米60美分，另一种是90美分。第二种保证看起来很好，大约能维持10年，而便宜的那种大约六七年之后就会开始褪色。

In that case, we would prefer the more expensive option.

这样的话，我们更倾向于选择更贵的那种。

All right, then. So, including labor cost, taxes, and everything, this job would come to $3,000.

好吧，那么。包括人工费、税费等等，这项工作总共要花3000美元。

Hmm, to be perfectly honest, that's more than I expected. Please bear in mind that the price includes moving all the furniture, and the whole task would take 2 days.

嗯，说实话，这比我想象的要贵。请记住，这个价格包括了搬动所有家具的费用，而且整个工作需要两天时间。

Really? Why?

真的吗？为什么？

Well, we can't paint the walls without clearing all the furniture first. So, every time we paint a room, we first have to move the furniture to another room. So, that takes more time, plus it requires two people, which works out more expensive.

嗯，我们必须先清空所有的家具才能刷墙。所以，每次我们刷一个房间的时候，我们都需要先把家具搬到另一个房间。所以，这需要更多的时间，而且还需要两个人，这就更贵了。

I see. But does that mean I could not live here in my own house during those two days?

我明白了。那是不是意味着在这两天里我不能住在自己的房子里？

That is correct.

是的。

Oh, well, that changes everything. I'm afraid I would have to stay with a friend or check into a hotel. I hadn't considered any of that.

哦，好吧，这改变了一切。恐怕我得去朋友家住或者去住酒店了。我之前没有考虑到这些。

I'm starting to realize that painting my house is far more troublesome than I had anticipated.

我开始意识到，粉刷我的房子比我之前预想的要麻烦得多。

This is usually the case. Most of our clients go through the same.

这通常是这样的情况。我们的大多数客户都经历过同样的事情。

I see. You have my number. Please feel free to call me for any further questions.

我明白了。你有我的电话号码。有任何问题请随时给我打电话。

Thank you.

谢谢。
