傑克：爲什麼是這個房子？你覺得它有什麼其他房子不具備的優點嗎？
Jane: Well, four things come to mind: first, it's comfortable; second. I love the view - the city looks beautiful from here;
third, it comes fully finished with all modern appliances; finally, it is close to downtown where we work.
簡：嗯，我想有四點：首先，它很舒適愜意；其次，我喜歡這裏的風景——這個城市從這兒看上去很美；再次，它配備了所有現代化的電器；最後，它離市中心也就是我們工作的地方很近。
Jack: I hear what you were saying. and I agree with you. But what's the rent?
傑克：我聽了你的敘述也覺得很有道理。但是租金是多少呢？

have to spend a lot on the bus every day to get there.

Jane: True. But I do like it, so I’ll have to think about it some more．
簡：這倒是真的，不過我確實喜歡它，我再考慮考慮吧。

3.詳細解說

1.“come to mind”意爲“突然想起，出現於某人的腦海中”，例如：-Do you have any suggestions? -Nothing immediately comes to mind. ( -你有什麼建議嗎？-一下子也想不起什麼來。）
2.“lly...”用於列舉事實，可使語言更有條理，邏輯性更強。
3.短語“agree with sb.”表示“贊同某人的觀點”，例如：For what you have pointed out.I agree with you.（我贊同你提出的觀點。）
4.“spend“的意思是“花費”，通常用於“ sth.”或“spend…( in)doing sth.”的結構。
