You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员) —as he is called—will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.
He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.
The printed details he will give you are called " particulars". Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.
Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare.
For instance, it is quite acceptable to say "delightfully situated". That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks
. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.
Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (联排的) .
The phrase "going as far as they dare" (Para. 4)probably means______.
选项
A、covering as wide an area as possible
B、selling houses as far from the estate agent’s houses as possible
C、telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it
D、trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractive
答案
C
解析
推断题。第四段说Estate Agents have,by now,become very competent at going as far as they dare房地产经销商很擅长夸大其词,而且是胆大包天,再结合后面的he says that the house has five bedrooms when,in fact,it has only two,that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence他说有5个卧室,实际上你一去考查只有两个,这种言论
