Leona: I want to live close to downtown. We can get everywhere on foot and walk to most amenities. 
里奥娜：我想住得离市中心近点。我们步行可以到达任何地方，也能步行去生活设施区。
Jeremy: Downtown is always bustling and noisy, and the crime rate is really high. I’d rather have proximity to parks and open spaces. 
杰米：市中心区总是繁华嘈杂，犯罪率确实也高，我更喜欢邻近公园和开阔地。
Leona: If we lived downtown, we wouldn’t have to worry about commute time and traffic. I could walk to work and you could take public transportation. 
里奥娜：如果我们住在市中心区，我们就不用担心上下班时间以及交通拥堵问题。我可以步行去工作，你也能够乘坐公共交通工具上班。
Jeremy: That’s true, but there aren’t any good schools near downtown. 
杰米：那倒是，但是靠近市中心区没有什么好学校。
Leona: Hello, we don’t have any kids. 
里奥娜：喂！我们没有孩子。
Jeremy: Not yet. I want to settle down somewhere for a while, not move every couple of years. 
杰米：是还没有呢，我想在某个地方住一段时间，不想隔几年就搬一次家。
Leona: Is that why you want to live in the suburbs? The suburbs have no character. Everything is cookie- cutter. 
里奥娜：这是不是你想要住在郊区的原因？郊区没什么特色，所有的东西都是相同模式的。
Jeremy: That’s not true. 
杰米：不完全正确。
Leona: Downtown has character and it’s close to nightlife. 
里奥娜：市中心有自己的特色，而且离夜生活区不远。
Jeremy: That’s less important to me than a place in a quiet neighborhood. Imagine lounging in the backyard or taking a walk in the park. We can raise our kids in a close-knit community. 
杰米：那些特点，远不如找个有安静邻居的地方重要。想象一下在家里后院坐着打发时光或者去公园散散步，我们可以在附近的社区养大我们的孩子。
Leona: I think you’re planning for a family that we don’t have. 
里奥娜：我想你在策划一个我们没有的家庭。
Jeremy: Yet! 
杰米：是还没有呢！
