shàng上gè个yuè月wǒ我hé和qī妻zǐ子kāi开shǐ始zhǎo找xīn新de的fáng房zi子。
Last month my wife and I started looking for a new place.
yīn因wèi为xiàn现zài在wǒ我men们zhù住dé得lí离gōng公sī司tài太yuǎn远le了。
Because where we live now is too far from the office.
wǒ我shàng上bān班de的shí时hou候yào要zuò坐yí一gè个xiǎo小shí时de的gōng公gòng共qì汽chē车。
To get to work I have to take a one-hour bus ride.
zuó昨tiān天xià下wǔ午wǒ我men们kàn看le了yí一gè个xīn新de的fáng房zi子。
Yesterday afternoon we looked at a new apartment.
tā它zài在yí一gè个xiǎo小xué学xiào校páng旁biān边。
It is next to a small school.
fáng房zi子hěn很dà大，fáng房jiān间yě也fēi非cháng常duō多。
It's big, and it has a lot of rooms too.
wǒ我zuì最xǐ喜huan欢de的shì是nà那ge个dà大fáng房jiān间，nà那ge个fáng房jiān间lǐ里yǒu有zhuō桌zi子hé和yǐ椅zi子。
What I liked most was the big room — it had a table and chairs in it.
dàn但shì是tā它tài太guì贵le了，wǒ我men们de的qián钱bù不duō多。
But it was too expensive, and we don't have much money.
qī妻zǐ子fēi非cháng常xiǎng想yào要tā它，dàn但shì是wǒ我jué觉de得bù不kě可néng能。
My wife really wanted it, but I didn't think it was possible.
wǒ我men们zài在nà那ge个fáng房jiān间lǐ里zuò坐le了èr二shí十fēn分zhōng钟。
We sat in that room for twenty minutes.
qī妻zǐ子wèn问wǒ我zěn怎me么yàng样，wǒ我gào告sù诉tā她tài太guì贵le了。
My wife asked me what I thought, and I told her it was too expensive.
qī妻zǐ子yǒu有yì一diǎn点ér儿bù不gāo高xìng兴，dàn但shì是tā她yě也zhī知dào道wǒ我duì对。
She was a little unhappy, but she knew I was right.
wǎn晚shàng上wǒ我men们huí回jiā家，kàn看le了yī一xià下bào报zhǐ纸shàng上de的fáng房zi子。
In the evening we went home and looked again at the apartments in the newspaper.
suǒ所yǐ以xīng星qī期yī一wǒ我yào要qù去gōng公sī司páng旁biān边kàn看yí一gè个xīn新de的fáng房zi子。
So on Monday I'm going to look at a new place next to my office.
suī虽rán然wǒ我hái还méi没yǒu有zhǎo找dào到fáng房zi子，dàn但shì是xià下gè个yuè月kě可néng能huì会yǒu有yí一gè个hǎo好de的。
I still haven't found one, but maybe there'll be a good one next month.
