There”s a lot of hotels, accommodation, and a lot of places to rent. You can buy houses quite cheaply in Melbourne as well and there”s only about 5 million people there so it”s not crowded as well. 亚伦：找房子特别简单。那里有很多旅馆和住宿的地方，有很多出租的房屋。你可以在墨尔本买到特别廉价的房子，那里只有5百万人居住，所以不是那么拥挤。 Todd: How much would a house cost? A decent house? 托德：一座房子要花费多少钱？一个不错的房子？ Aaron: A decent house in Australia, or in Melbourne, would cost about 250,000 Australian dollars, which I guess compared to Japanese prices, isn”t so bad, and that would be a big 4 bedroom house, maybe two stories. 亚伦：在澳大利亚，在墨尔本一座不错的房子要花费25万澳元，我认为和日本房价相比的话，还不算太贵，这样的房子根本有4间大卧房，可能有两层。 Todd: Wow!

You have to wait twenty minutes for trains. They only run every twenty minutes, but the buses and the trams will take you to wherever you want to go, but the trains are very centralized, so they all run into the city, through four major train stops, and then they run back out to the suburbs on a big loop so they never cross over each other and you have to catch buses if you want to go away from the city. 亚伦：交通状况特别好，不过速度很慢。你要是坐列车必需要等20分钟。列车每20分钟运行一趟，不过公交车和有轨电车可以带你去你想去的任何地方，而列车很集中，它们都在城市中运行，会通过4个主要的火车站，它们会在郊区循环一圈再返回市区，所以它们从来不会穿插，而假如你想离开市区的话不得不去赶公交车。 Todd: Is it a safe city? 托德：那是一个安全的城市吗？ Aaron: It is a safe city but like any place it has it”s troubles but you don”t have to worry about living in Melbourne. 亚伦：墨尔本是安全的城市，不过就和其他地方一样，它也有自己的问题，不过你不必担忧在墨尔本的生活。
