Priya needs a new apartment. She looks at two apartments this week. The first one is small and close to her job. The second one is big but far from work.
普丽娅需要一套新公寓。这个星期，她看了两套公寓。第一套很小，离她上班的地方很近。第二套很大，但离单位很远。
On Monday, she visits the small apartment. It has one bedroom and a tiny kitchen. The walls are white and the rooms are bright. She can walk to work in ten minutes.
星期一，她去看了那套小公寓。它有一间卧室和一个很小的厨房。墙壁是白色的，房间很明亮。她步行十分钟就能走到单位。
On Tuesday, she visits the big apartment. It has two bedrooms and a large kitchen. There is also a small balcony with a nice view. But the bus ride to work takes forty minutes.
星期二，她去看了那套大公寓。它有两间卧室和一个宽敞的厨房。还有一个小阳台，景色很不错。可是坐公交去上班要四十分钟。
Priya makes a list on paper. She writes the good and bad points of each place. The small apartment is cheaper and close to work. The big apartment has more space and a balcony.
普丽娅在纸上列了一张清单。她写下了每个地方的优点和缺点。小公寓更便宜，离单位也近。大公寓空间更大，还有一个阳台。
She calls her sister and talks about both apartments. Her sister asks, "Which place do you like more?"
她给姐姐打电话，聊起这两套公寓。姐姐问：“你更喜欢哪一套？”
Priya thinks about her mornings. She thinks about the long bus ride. She thinks about her small kitchen at the other place.
普丽娅想了想自己的早晨。她想到了漫长的公交路程。她还想到了另一套公寓里那个小小的厨房。
"I want the small apartment," Priya says. "I don't want a long bus ride every day."
“我想要小公寓，”普丽娅说，“我不想每天都坐很久的公交。”
Her sister laughs. "I understand," she says. "More time for coffee in the morning."
姐姐笑了。“我明白，”她说，“这样早上就有更多时间喝咖啡了。”
Priya calls the landlord. She signs the papers for the small apartment. She packs her boxes over the weekend. On moving day, her friends help her carry everything upstairs.
普丽娅给房东打了电话。她签了小公寓的合同。周末，她把东西装进了纸箱。搬家那天，朋友们帮她把所有东西搬上了楼。
She puts her bed by the window. She opens the curtains. Sunlight fills the small, bright room. Priya looks around her new home and feels happy.
她把床放在窗边。她拉开窗帘。阳光洒满了这个小小的明亮房间。普丽娅环顾自己的新家，心里很开心。
