we need to have our own place to live.
查看中文翻译
Did you find one?
查看中文翻译
and there is room,
查看中文翻译
About what?
查看中文翻译
Sounds like Richard.
查看中文翻译
We love having you here,
查看中文翻译
and… and when the baby comes,
查看中文翻译
It's natural.
查看中文翻译
at this point in our lives?
查看中文翻译
but Philip is too independent.
查看中文翻译
I remember when I was pregnant with Richard.
查看中文翻译
Well, what do you think about Richard and me
查看中文翻译
and he kept talking about having a house of our own.
查看中文翻译
Philip was a young doctor,
查看中文翻译
Ellen, I'd like your opinion.
查看中文翻译
We looked at a lot of houses.
查看中文翻译
the baby can stay in your room for a while.
查看中文翻译
Oh.
查看中文翻译
What did you do?
查看中文翻译
He's independent,
查看中文翻译
Oh, not at first.
查看中文翻译
They're all alike.
查看中文翻译
Well, Richard and I feel that with a baby coming
查看中文翻译
He didn't want to borrow any money.
查看中文翻译
Philip and I were living with Grandma and Grandpa.
查看中文翻译
looking for a small house or an apartment
查看中文翻译
Grandpa wanted to lend us the money to buy one,
查看中文翻译
When did you buy a house?
查看中文翻译
Richard feels we need to find a small house.
查看中文翻译
We couldn't afford it.
查看中文翻译
Richard is a real Stewart.
查看中文翻译
and sometimes just stubborn.
查看中文翻译
After Richard was born.
查看中文翻译
I was teaching music,

Do you think it's too long?
查看中文翻译
You won't believe this,
查看中文翻译
but just right for us.
查看中文翻译
It's funny. History repeats itself.
查看中文翻译
Well, I'll tell Richard,
查看中文翻译
We can learn a lot by asking.
查看中文翻译
and we probably won't be able to
查看中文翻译
Maybe we should
查看中文翻译
Look in the real-estate section of Sunday's Times.
查看中文翻译
I think it's a good idea, Ellen.
查看中文翻译
As a matter of fact,
查看中文翻译
let me know.
查看中文翻译
afford a house right away, either.
查看中文翻译
Right here in Riverdale.
查看中文翻译
I'll talk to Richard about it.
查看中文翻译
And a bank about a mortgage.
查看中文翻译
Are you planning to attach a train to it?
查看中文翻译
I think the skirt is just right.
查看中文翻译
Where was the house?
查看中文翻译
You'll learn a lot.
查看中文翻译
and we'll go to see her.
查看中文翻译
Do you think the skirt length is right, Ellen?
查看中文翻译
and Philip was opening his first medical office.
查看中文翻译
but she sold us our first house and this one.
查看中文翻译
Good.
查看中文翻译
speak to a real-estate agent about a house.
查看中文翻译
Of course, it was a small house,
查看中文翻译
Now Richard and I are having a baby,
查看中文翻译
Good idea.
查看中文翻译
my friend Virginia Martinelli is a real-estate agent.
查看中文翻译
And if I can be of any help,
查看中文翻译
Why don't you look at some houses, Marilyn?
查看中文翻译

I remember your parents' first house very well.
查看中文翻译
And thanks for the advice about the house.
查看中文翻译
we love having you here.
查看中文翻译
Thanks, Ellen.
查看中文翻译
But I am going to make a headpiece of lace.
查看中文翻译
I hear you're expecting a baby, Mrs. Stewart.
查看中文翻译
to help you find a house now.
查看中文翻译
so it's my pleasure
查看中文翻译
I love your house on Linden Street.
查看中文翻译
Oh, so you don't need something immediately?
查看中文翻译
I'll talk to Richard about it
查看中文翻译
Well, we're not sure we can afford one.
查看中文翻译
I've seen pictures of him.
查看中文翻译
about the possibilities.
查看中文翻译
for a long time,
查看中文翻译
He had blond hair.
查看中文翻译
That's a good idea.
查看中文翻译
That dress is gorgeous.
查看中文翻译
the minute he comes home.
查看中文翻译
No. No train. Just the dress.
查看中文翻译
I grew up in that house.
查看中文翻译
I sold your father that house seventeen years ago.
查看中文翻译
Really?
查看中文翻译
Yes, Mom was pregnant with Robbie then,
查看中文翻译
Mmm-hmm.
查看中文翻译
It was on Spring Avenue, near the park.
查看中文翻译
So we will be needing more room.
查看中文翻译
And remember,
查看中文翻译
I've been friendly with the Stewart family
查看中文翻译
and they needed the extra room.
查看中文翻译
Yes, and you were such a cute baby.
查看中文翻译
But we'd like to find out
查看中文翻译
There's no need to rush.
查看中文翻译

It's pretty,
查看中文翻译
but I prefer a two-story home.
查看中文翻译
and it's only about an hour's drive from here.
查看中文翻译
With two bedrooms?
查看中文翻译
It looks wonderful.
查看中文翻译
Well, we have an office in Mount Kisco.
查看中文翻译
Oh, this is a wonderful house.
查看中文翻译
I don't care for a ranch type.
查看中文翻译
OK.
查看中文翻译
Let me show you some pictures of houses.
查看中文翻译
We've always lived in this area.
查看中文翻译
about your salaries and your savings.
查看中文翻译
I sold it to the present owners.
查看中文翻译
No. But in five or six months…
查看中文翻译
This is a two-bedroom, two-bath house.
查看中文翻译
Yes, I think I can show you some.
查看中文翻译
Here.
查看中文翻译
It's a lovely area,
查看中文翻译
Now, let's see. Here.
查看中文翻译
you gave me enough information
查看中文翻译
This is a lovely two-bedroom house in your price range.
查看中文翻译
And time passes so quickly.
查看中文翻译
Of course, they won't be in Riverdale.
查看中文翻译
I have a book with photos of some homes in that area.
查看中文翻译
I do, too.
查看中文翻译
The cost of housing's too high for you here.
查看中文翻译
I haven't thought about living anywhere else.
查看中文翻译
So I have a good idea about your financial situation.
查看中文翻译
Well, when you called,
查看中文翻译
Yes, it does.
查看中文翻译
I know it well.
查看中文翻译
Where should we look for a house, Mrs. Martinelli?
查看中文翻译
第十一篇 | 走遍美国

It's interesting.
查看中文翻译
I love the roof tiles on a Spanish-style house.
查看中文翻译
Oh my!
查看中文翻译
A house like this in Riverdale costs double the price.
查看中文翻译
and it is on a half-acre lot.
查看中文翻译
Would you like to go see it?
查看中文翻译
to talk to someone at the bank next week.
查看中文翻译
It's quite lovely.
查看中文翻译
No. It has three bedrooms and three baths.
查看中文翻译
It's a bargain.
查看中文翻译
Oh,
查看中文翻译
This is very helpful, Mrs. Martinelli.
查看中文翻译
Here.
查看中文翻译
Just to get an idea of some other possibilities.
查看中文翻译
And the price is right.
查看中文翻译
Yes. We're planning
查看中文翻译
If someone doesn't buy it before then,
查看中文翻译
Here's a real buy.
查看中文翻译
I like this house.
查看中文翻译
Is it a two-bedroom house?
查看中文翻译
This house just came on the market.
查看中文翻译
It has a full basement,
查看中文翻译
Perhaps we could see the house this weekend.
查看中文翻译
But let's keep looking.
查看中文翻译
This is a wonderful example of Spanish-style architecture.
查看中文翻译
You can probably afford this one.
查看中文翻译
And there's a two-car garage.
查看中文翻译
Then why don't we go look at this house, too?
查看中文翻译
I know the house.
查看中文翻译
And a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling.
查看中文翻译
So do I.
查看中文翻译
It looks like the houses in Hollywood.
查看中文翻译
It has a brand new kitchen.

Well, thanks so much for your help and your time,
查看中文翻译
My pleasure.
查看中文翻译
Give my best to your parents.
查看中文翻译
And we'd like to find out about a mortgage.
查看中文翻译
We've got a lot to talk about.
查看中文翻译
Thanks so much.
查看中文翻译
I'll give them your regards.
查看中文翻译
Thank you, Mrs. Martinelli.
查看中文翻译
I do think you should go see the houses
查看中文翻译
We'd like to discuss a mortgage.
查看中文翻译
He's the best pediatrician in Westchester.
查看中文翻译
I'm Richard Stewart, and this is my wife, Marilyn.
查看中文翻译
Let me give you some information sheets about the houses.
查看中文翻译
How do you do?
查看中文翻译
when she was a child.
查看中文翻译
He took care of my daughter
查看中文翻译
Fine. Are you buying a house
查看中文翻译
We are customers of the bank.
查看中文翻译
Please, sit down. What can I do for you?
查看中文翻译
Likewise, Mr. Riley.
查看中文翻译
We're planning to buy a house.
查看中文翻译
Mmm-hmm. Thanks.
查看中文翻译
or are you refinancing your present home?
查看中文翻译
For a house.
查看中文翻译
Pleased to meet you.
查看中文翻译
They're both very good buys.
查看中文翻译
It's a good investment.
查看中文翻译
Here.
查看中文翻译
and talk to the bank.
查看中文翻译
I'm Ralph Riley.
查看中文翻译
We really appreciate your advice.
查看中文翻译
Hello.
查看中文翻译
Thanks, Mrs. Martinelli.
查看中文翻译
Your father's a wonderful doctor, Richard.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Martinelli.
查看中文翻译

We're talking about buying
查看中文翻译
Thank you.
查看中文翻译
I'm thirty.
查看中文翻译
I see. Then you don't have any collateral.
查看中文翻译
I'm twenty-nine.
查看中文翻译
Are you prepared to make a ten-percent down payment?
查看中文翻译
Well, it depends. Do you own any other property?
查看中文翻译
Yes, we are.
查看中文翻译
And, Mrs. Stewart, are you working?
查看中文翻译
Yes. I'm a designer, and I work in a boutique.
查看中文翻译
someone to sign for the loan for you.
查看中文翻译
Last year's tax forms?
查看中文翻译
Payments over thirty years?
查看中文翻译
I have some questions to ask.
查看中文翻译
Perhaps you could get a guarantor --
查看中文翻译
Any stocks or bonds?
查看中文翻译
Here are the financial details on the house.
查看中文翻译
I'm a freelance photographer.
查看中文翻译
As a matter of fact, my whole family banks here.
查看中文翻译
Do you think we can get a loan?
查看中文翻译
And, Mr. Stewart, what is your occupation?
查看中文翻译
OK. What… what kind of house did you have in mind?
查看中文翻译
Why is that necessary?
查看中文翻译
Yes. Here they are.
查看中文翻译
We live with my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Philip Stewart.
查看中文翻译
Did you bring any savings or salary information?
查看中文翻译
Yes.
查看中文翻译
And how old are you?
查看中文翻译
Neither.
查看中文翻译
No.
查看中文翻译
Do you own your house or do you rent?
查看中文翻译
a two-bedroom house in Mount Kisco.
查看中文翻译
第十一篇 | 走遍美国

Now, tell me, what's the problem?
查看中文翻译
We have no collateral.
查看中文翻译
And we don't own anything to use as collateral.
查看中文翻译
if you can't make the payments.
查看中文翻译
to ask Dad to sign as a guarantor.
查看中文翻译
Thank you, Mr. Riley. We'll read this over carefully.
查看中文翻译
I hope so, too.
查看中文翻译
Good-bye. And hope to see you soon.
查看中文翻译
Why don't you speak to Dad?
查看中文翻译
until they mentioned needing collateral or a guarantor.
查看中文翻译
No. If we buy a house, I want to be able to handle it alone.
查看中文翻译
Since you don't have enough income,
查看中文翻译
Good-bye.
查看中文翻译
It all sounded so easy
查看中文翻译
I see. Well, the idea of buying a house is exciting.
查看中文翻译
the bank needs to be sure
查看中文翻译
I don't feel right about it.
查看中文翻译
We can get a loan from the bank
查看中文翻译
I understand your feelings about it, Richard.
查看中文翻译
Thank you.
查看中文翻译
I understand Richard's feelings about it, Ellen.
查看中文翻译
if we can put up some collateral.
查看中文翻译
Good-bye. Thanks.
查看中文翻译
and you don't already own any property,
查看中文翻译
And I don't think it's a good idea
查看中文翻译
you can pay the mortgage every month.
查看中文翻译
Or someone can sign with us as a guarantor.
查看中文翻译
A guarantor is responsible for the loan
查看中文翻译
Take care.
查看中文翻译
Everybody needs help sometimes, Richard.
查看中文翻译

Somebody else'll buy it by then.
查看中文翻译
And I'll call Mr. Riley at the bank
查看中文翻译
We'll call Mrs. Martinelli and tell her to keep looking for us.
查看中文翻译
and tell him we'll see him in a couple of months.
查看中文翻译
This has been a great learning experience for us, Marilyn.
查看中文翻译
Looking at the houses.
查看中文翻译
And if you ever need Dad or me to help you…
查看中文翻译
and be able to put more money down.
查看中文翻译
Then there'll be other houses, Marilyn.
查看中文翻译
It has been a learning experience. That's true.
查看中文翻译
We know.
查看中文翻译
It's a Stewart tradition. We're a family.
查看中文翻译
Looking around. Especially with a purchase of this kind.
查看中文翻译
You're talking about a lot of money.
查看中文翻译
I think you're doing the right thing. Taking your time.
查看中文翻译
Talking to the loan officer at the bank.
查看中文翻译
Talking to the real-estate agent.
查看中文翻译
Richard has a point. You're just beginning to look.
查看中文翻译
What about the house in Mount Kisco?
查看中文翻译
We're in no great rush. It's true.
查看中文翻译
In two or three months, I'll have an advance on my book
查看中文翻译
You know we'll be there for you.
