Apartment Manager: This is the one-bedroom apartment we have for rent. Let me show you around.

公寓管理员：这是我们要出租的单人公寓，让我带你转转。

Sherin: Wait! Did you see that? It looked like a mouse or a rat.

谢林：等一下，你看到了么?像是有一只老鼠。

Apartment Manager: There aren’t any rodents or any other vermin in this apartment complex. I make sure of that.

公寓管理员：我确定，这座公寓大楼不会存在任何锯齿类动物和害虫。

Sherin: Are you sure?

谢林：你肯定吗?

Apartment Manager: Sure, I’m sure. Only last month, I bought some mousetraps and rat poison and got rid of them all. This complex is rodent-free.

公寓管理员：我当然确定。就在上个月，我买了一些捕鼠器和老鼠药，已经把它们一网打尽了，现在这个公寓大楼没有老鼠的。

Sherin: Oh, I see.

谢林：哦，是这样啊。

Apartment Manager: And the month before that, we had roaches, ticks, and fleas, but I fumigated and they’re gone.

公寓管理员：一个月前，我们这有蟑螂，虱子，跳骚，但是我用烟熏消毒，把他们都消灭了。

Sherin: You called a pest control company?

谢林：你让害虫防治公司来处理的吗?

Apartment Manager: I didn’t need a pest control company to get rid of a few bugs. I did it myself.

公寓管理员：我不需要害虫防治公司来消灭几个虫子，我自己就做了。

Sherin: Oh, okay.

谢林：额，好吧。

Apartment Manager: And six months ago, we had bedbugs, but thanks to my diligence, they’re gone, too. So you want to see this apartment or don’t you?

公寓管理员：并且6个月前，我们这还有臭虫，不过我已经努力将他们也都消灭了。那么你还想不想看看这家公寓呢?

Sherin: I think I’ll pass. This conversation is making my skin crawl.

谢林：我不想看了，这段对话让我毛骨悚然。
