- Practical Challenge -

あなたは、パートナーとネットで転居先を探している。ある不動産屋さんの物件を見て、あなたは瞬時に心を奪われました。ここしかないと思ったあなたはパートナーを説得します。

「この部屋はとっても素敵だわ。たくさんのレストランやカッコイイお店に囲まれていて。今のアパートと比べて、ちょっと手狭だし賃貸料が高いのは分かってるわ。でもこここそ住むべきだと思うわ。」

- Simple Answer -

This apartment is great, surrounded by lots of restaurants and cool shops. I know that compared to the one we live in now, this place is a bit small and the rent is high. But I think this is the place to live.

＊one = apatment の繰り返しを避けた代用表現

＊the place の " the " は強い強調表現。一つに決まる " the " が「ここしかない」を生み出している。

- Advanced Answer -

The apartments being built here are fantastic, situated so close to restaurants and shopping centers. Compared to our present apartment, they’re less spacious and the rent is a bit higher. But, all things considered, I think we should definitely rent one.

＊all things considered＝すべてを考えると
