現在進行式

We just found out that our apartment that we've rented for over 8 years in Japan is going to be torn down,

我們剛剛發現，我們在日本租了8年多的公寓要被拆掉了。

to 不定詞

and we need to find a new place to live ASAP.

而且我們需要儘快找到一個新的住處。

動名詞

Finding a home for a family of six in the Tokyo area is challenging enough, but will it be an impossible task for foreigners?

在東京地區為一個六口之家找房子已經很有挑戰性了，但對外國人來說，這將是一項不可能完成的任務嗎？

在這本《日本生活》中可以找到答案。

OK let's see, what does the kitchen look like?

好吧，讓我們看看，廚房是什麼樣子的？

Like any search these days, it usually starts online,

像現在的任何搜索一樣，它通常從網上開始。

and that's exactly where we're going to see if there's any housing suitable for a large family near us.

而這正是我們要去的地方，看看我們附近是否有適合大家庭居住的住房。

So either I'm going to have to go far far away,

所以，要麼我就得去很遠很遠的地方。

We thoroughly searched the popular Japanese real estate websites at home, sumo and others to find options, but the results were not encouraging.

我們徹底搜索了日本流行的房地產網站home、sumo和其他網站以尋找選擇，但結果並不樂觀。

Look at that. I'd have to have a little burner stove.

看看這個。我必須要有一個小的燃燒器爐子。

We really wanted to stay in the same neighborhood so that our kids could go to the same Japanese public schools

我們真的想留在同一個社區，這樣我們的孩子就可以在同一個日本公立學校上學。

and because it is also very close to where we work

而且因為它離我們工作的地方也非常近

so we compiled a list of possibilities and sent them to our realtor.

是以，我們編制了一份可能性清單，並將其發送給我們的房地產經紀人。

When she got back to us, the challenging reality of foreigners finding a place to live set in.

當她回到我們身邊時，外國人尋找住處的挑戰性現實就出現了。

Well we got a couple of properties that we wanted to see,

好吧，我們得到了幾個我們想看的房產。

這裡的人都不在附近，有點遠。

And we sent them to the realtor and she got back to us

我們把它們發給了房地產經紀人，她給了我們答覆。

And one of them is not going to open up until next March,

而其中一個要到明年3月才會開放。

One will not rent to us because we're foreigners,

有一家不願意租給我們，因為我們是外國人。

So we're...every third I guess we can go see.

所以我們......每隔三分之一我想我們可以去看看。

The next day, we would go look at some options together as a family.

第二天，我們會作為一個家庭一起去看一些選項。

好了，夥計們，我們現在要去哪裡？

The first place we visited had just gone on the market, so it was still under renovation.

我們參觀的第一個地方剛剛上市，所以還在裝修中。

We were glad we were able to go in and see it anyway.

我們很高興我們能夠進去看看，無論如何。

This one to us on paper it looked like a very ideal layout.

這個對我們來說，在紙上看起來是一個非常理想的佈局。

You might need to change these curtains...

Yea, we would change the curtains, that's for sure.

是的，我們會改變窗簾，這是肯定的。

But look at this though, it's got a big [storage room]

但是，看看這個，它有一個大的[儲藏室]

The house was spread vertically across three floors, a common building practice these days in the greater Tokyo area.

這座房子垂直分佈在三層，這是如今在大東京地區常見的建築做法。

We tried to picture what it would be like if we did indeed live here.

我們試圖想象如果我們真的住在這裡會是什麼樣子。

Oh but the toilet's in here with the washing machine.

哦，但是廁所在這裡，和洗衣機在一起。

OK, let's see. What does the kitchen look like?

好吧，讓我們看看。廚房是什麼樣子的？

是的。是以，廚房是一個沉悶的地方。

It was time to check out the upstairs bedrooms.

Well Ruth, what do you think here seeing this place?

嗯，露絲，你在這裡看到這個地方有什麼想法？

The kitchen's—I'm used to a large kitchen,

But I would probably try to put our dining here so that could all be living.

但我可能會嘗試把我們的餐飲放在這裡，這樣就可以全部生活化了。

I know, that would be awesome, wouldn't it?

我知道，這將是非常棒的，不是嗎？

And then we could always put out an extra table if we need to.

然後，如果需要的話，我們可以隨時擺出一個額外的桌子。

Well let me tell you what, this first house definitely a contender.

好吧，讓我告訴你，這第一所房子絕對是一個競爭者。

Alright, we're checking out the next place.

好了，我們正在檢查下一個地方。

And it is like 2 minutes from the station, it's so close.

而且它離車站只有2分鐘的路程，非常近。

We're the only ones living on the 5th floor?

哦，我的天哪！這是最微小的。這是最微小的!

How do you move stuff in here? That's what I want to know.

你是如何在這裡搬東西的？這就是我想知道的。

我想我們的東西甚至都放不下。

來吧，夥計們，脫掉你們的鞋子。
