Okay, ready to see more homes? I've lined up several for you to view this afternoon.
好的，准备好看更多房源了吗？我已经安排了几处房子供你下午参观。

Yes, I'm ready. It's hard finding just the right type of neighborhood to move to.
是的，我准备好了。找个心仪的社区居住并不容易。

That's right. First we looked at homes in planned and gated communities and in the bedroom communities around the city, as you requested.
没错。首先，根据你的需求，我们查看了在建的、封闭式社区的房源，以及城市周边的近郊住宅社区。

That's right. At first, I thought I wanted a quiet place to live in my retirement.
没错。起先，我觉得自己需要一处幽静的地方安度晚年生活。

Yes, but once I saw them, I changed my mind. I'm retired, but I'm not dead. I decided I wanted a livelier neighborhood, someplace with more action.
是的，不过看过这些房子后，我改变主意了。我是退休了，但不是寿终正寝。我决定选一处更有活力的社区，一个需要多走动的环境。

That's why I showed you homes in the historic district and in the redeveloped waterfront area, both of which are very pedestrian-friendly.
所以我带你看了历史悠久的社区和重新开发的滨水区房屋，这两处地方都很适合闲庭信步。

Yes, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to be in the middle of the action.
没错，可我考虑得越久，越想搬到市中心生活。

That's why, today, I'm taking you to the urban core. We'll look at homes in the downtown area, the arts district, and a couple of ethnic enclaves.
所以啊，今天，我带你去市区核心地段看房子。我们将拜访市中心区、艺术区和一些少数民族聚居区。

Great! I think house-hunting has given me a new lease on life. This is fun! I could look at home after home after home.
太好了！我觉得找房子给我的生活带来了新的希望。这件事很有趣！我可以一家一家地筛选。
