Narrator

Mr. Doyle is showing Tina apartment 5B. Sunlight fills the room. He has brought the lease and the keys.

ドイルさんがティナに5Bの部屋を案内している。部屋には日差しが差し込んでいる。ドイルさんは契約書と鍵を持ってきている。

Tina01

I once fell in love with an apartment I couldn't afford. Rent first, please.

前に、予算オーバーの部屋に一目ぼれしちゃったんです。まず家賃からお願いします。

Doyle02

Of course. Here's the monthly rent. It includes water.

もちろんです。水道代込みで、月々こちらの金額です。

Tina03

Within my budget. And look at all this sunlight!

予算内だわ。それに、この日当たり！

Doyle04

The windows were replaced last year. Here's the kitchen.

窓は去年交換しました。こちらがキッチンです。

Tina05

Already pink! At that other place, I wanted to paint the walls myself.

もうピンクなのね！前に見た部屋では、自分で壁を塗りたいと思ってたんです。

Doyle06

The previous tenant had the kitchen renovated and painted pink.

前の入居者がキッチンを改装して、ピンクに塗ってもらったんです。

Tina07

When could I move in?

いつから入居できますか？

Doyle08

Today. Read through the lease before you sign.

今日からです。署名する前に、契約書に目を通してください。

Tina09

I've read it. Everything looks good. I'll take 5B.

読みました。内容も問題ありません。5Bに決めます。

Doyle10

Sign here, please.

こちらに署名をお願いします。

Tina11

Done. My own place at last!

書けました。やっと自分の部屋だわ！

Doyle12

Here are your keys. Welcome to 5B.

こちらが鍵です。5Bへようこそ。

Tina13

Thank you! Now I can cross pink paint off my shopping list.

ありがとうございます！これで買い物リストからピンクのペンキを消せるわ。

WORDS & CONTEXT

Words & context

“I'll take 5B.”

I'll take … announces a choice in shopping or house-hunting. Here it means deciding to rent apartment 5B. In other settings it can choose a purchase or a contract option.

“Now I can cross pink paint off my shopping list.”

Cross something off a list means to strike it through because it is finished or no longer needed. The previous tenant already painted the kitchen pink, so Tina no longer needs to buy pink paint.
