56. Looking For a Roommate 寻找室友

Ronald was moving to college. He needed a place to stay. Every apartment around the school was very expensive. "I'm going to be a homeless college student," he joked.

罗纳德要去上大学了，他需要一个住的地方。学校旁边的所有公寓都很贵，他开玩笑道，“我要成为一个无家可归的大学生了”

Ronald thought of a solution. He posted an advertisement online. He wrote, "Looking for roommate around college campus. Must be neat and sane" Within one day, he had twenty replies. Ronald didn't really want to share an apartment with a stranger. However, this was the only way he could afford anything. "I just hope he's not dirty or crazy," he thought. After interviewing everyone, he picked a guy he really liked. They ended up being friends their whole life.

罗纳德想到了一个办法，他在网上发布了一则广告。他写道，“寻找大学校园附近的室友，要求干净、心智正常”。一天之内，他就收到了20个回复。罗纳德其实不想跟陌生人合租，但是，这是他能付得起钱的唯一办法。“我只是希望他不是很脏，也不是疯子”，他想。在跟每个人面谈后，他选了一个自己很喜欢的人。结果他们最后成了一辈子的朋友。
