Dan doesn't like his roommate because he is very lazy, so Dan intends to move out. He is complaining this to Frank.
Dan: Hello, Frank.
Frank: Hi, Dan. What's new with you?
Dan: Not too much. I'm trying to rent an apartment.
Frank: Why?
Dan: I dislike my roommate. He really turns me off.
Frank: What happened? Did you have a fight?
Dan: No. He likes to leave his things about and never cleans his room.
Frank: I hate that, too. Did you tell him your feeling?
Dan: Yes. But he doesn't care. I really don't want to move, but I simply can't stand him.
Frank: It's a problem. You'd better move.

丹： 你好，弗兰克。
弗兰克： 你好，丹，有什么新鲜事儿吗？
丹： 也没啥，我最近在找房子。
弗兰克： 为什么？
丹： 我不喜欢我的室友，他太令人讨厌了。
