大家好，您正在收听中文播客《丹霞说》，我是丹霞。最近白雪想搬家，我们来听听为什么吧。

最近，白雪想换一个公寓，因为她现在住着的公寓离公司太远了，每天坐地铁 来回 花在路上的时间需要两个小时，特别不方便。

早上七点出门儿，她需要六点半起床，晚上六点半下班，她回到家都差不多八点了。
天天这样，她觉得很累，尤其是白天工作的时候，她也总是想睡觉。

她想租一个离公司近点儿的地方，那么她可以有更多自己的时间。于是，白雪这几天一直在网上找找看 公司附近有没有合适的公寓，如果找到了，她就马上搬家！

Recently, Bai Xue wants to move her house. Let's see why.

Recently, Bai Xue wants to change an apartment, because the apartment she now lives in is too far away from the company. It takes two hours to travel back and forth by subway every day, which is particularly inconvenient.

Going out at seven in the morning, she needs to get up at six thirty and get off work at six thirty in the evening. It's almost eight o'clock when she gets home.

Every day like this, she feels very tired, especially when working during the day, she always wants to sleep.

She wants to rent a place close to the company, so she can have more time of her own. So, Bai Xue has been looking online these days to see if there is a suitable apartment near the company. If she finds it, she will move immediately!
