【录音原文】
M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you’re leaving?
W: In just three weeks. And I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.
M: Like what?
W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket, and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I’ m gone.
M: You’re not going to give it up, are you?
W: No way. I’ll never find another apartment around here, but I don’t like the idea of paying three months’ rent on an empty apartment either.
M: I don’t blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it.
W: Yes, but to who?
M: Mm, let me think. Oh, I know just the person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer from June through August.
W: Oh, that’s exactly when I’ll be away. It sounds ideal as long as the landlady agrees.
M: Tell you what. I’ll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I’ll mention it to him then.
W: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money would really come in handy.
