Ian: Yes, but I think staying on campus is better at first, even though it may be a little more expensive. You'll find your way around and won't need to get a car.
Candy: But I want to drive! How long would I need to stay on campus?
Ian: This contract says one year. You can pay it all up front, or in monthly installments. You can always move out early, but there would be a financial penalty.
(續(xù)上期，下期續(xù))
伊恩：對(duì)，但我認(rèn)為你先住校園里比較好，盡管有可能會(huì)貴了點(diǎn)。你會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)那里的環(huán)境，而且不需要去弄一部車(chē)來(lái)。
凱蒂：但是我想要開(kāi)車(chē)！我需要在校園里待多久？
伊恩：這個(gè)合約寫(xiě)一年。你可以先付清，或是按月分期。你隨時(shí)都能提早搬出去，但會(huì)有罰金要付。
重點(diǎn)解說(shuō)：
★ contract (n.) 合約書(shū)
