PETS－2每日對話練習274

Candy: Wherever I go, I want to live off-campus. Dormitories are so scary.
　　Ian: They're much nicer in the States. [reads materials] You have a choice between an international students’ dormitory or an on-campus apartment.
　　Candy: But is it mandatory to live on campus? I don't want roommates.
　　Ian: It's not mandatory, no. But you can probably get a single since you're a grad student.
　　Candy: I could also go stay in a hotel first and then find a place, right?

　　凱蒂：無論我去哪，我都要住在校外。宿捨很可怕耶。
　　伊恩：在美國的學生宿捨好多了。（讀數據）你可以二選一，國際學生宿捨或是校內公寓。
　　凱蒂：但是住在校園裡是強制的嗎？我不要有室友。
　　伊恩：這沒有一定的，沒有。但既然你是研究所學生，你也許可以有單人房。
　　凱蒂：我也可以先在旅館待一陣子再找地方，對吧？
