【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hey, guess what? My company wants me to stay in New York for another half year. W: That's good news! M: Well, it's good news and bad news. W: Let me hear the bad news first. M: My wife is involved in an important project right now in her company, so she can't come to stay with me. W: Ah, that is the bad news. M: The good news is that my company wants me to move out of my hotel and get an apartment. They figure it'll probably save money in the long run. W: Good deal. Your place is too small and you're always complaining about the noisy environment. M: Yes, but now I have to start looking for a new place. W: Hmm. If it's just for half a year, you'd better sublet. M: What's that? W: It means renting a place from people who are themselves renting from others. Usually it's because they are going away to another city or country and don't live in the place for a short period. One thing good is that you get a place that is already furnished. This saves your money. You don't have to buy furniture.
