Chinese logic 61 市区 郊区 小区

waveChinese 16th January 2022

All three examples are coincidentally wildly unaffordable places to buy houses in, at least for Shanghai and Beijing.


DIALOGUE  对话  duìhuà

A:听说你想搬家?
A: Tīngshuō nǐ xiǎng bānjiā?

B:对。我想搬到郊区去。
B: Duì. Wǒ xiǎng bān dào jiāoqū qù.

A:为什么?郊区坐车不方便的。你不喜欢住在市区吗?
A: Wèishénme? Jiāoqū zuòchē bù fāngbiàn de. Nǐ bù xǐhuān zhù zài shìqū ma?

B:我当然喜欢住在市区。在市区交通和购物都很方便,不过租房子实在太贵。
B: Wǒ dāngrán xǐhuān zhù zài shìqū. Zài shìqū jiāotōng hé gòuwù dōu hěn fāngbiàn, búguò zū fángzi shízài tàiguì.

A:这样啊。其实市区也有便宜的小区,不过环境不太好。
A: Zhèyàng a. Qíshí shìqū yě yǒu piányí de xiǎo qū, bú guò huán jìng bú tài hǎo.

B:明白了。我再考虑考虑吧。谢谢你的建议。
B: Míngbái le. Wǒ zài kǎolǜ kǎolǜ ba. Xièxiè nǐde jiànyì.

TRANSLATION

A: I heard you want to move?
B: Yes. I’m thinking of moving to the suburbs.
A: Why? It's not convenient to take public transportation in the suburbs. You don't like living in the city?
B: I certainly like to live in the city. The traffic and shopping are very convenient in the city, but it's too expensive to rent an apartment in the city.
A: I see. Actually there are also cheap communities in the city, but the environment is not good.
B: Got it. I'll rethink about it. Thanks for your suggestion.
