We're under contract, with closing in six weeks if financing stays on track. Put the repair request in writing so nobody 'remembers differently' later. I'll meet you at the entrance on Saturday at ten for one last look at the yard. This punch-list item has been on my plate since Tuesday, and I want it gone. We're still on track for the walkthrough, assuming the painter finishes on Friday. Preposition habits show up in every status line I send: on track, in escrow, under contract, on my plate.
我們已簽約；若貸款順利，六週後成交。維修請求請寫下來，免得之後各說各話。週六十點門口見，最後看一次院子。這項待修從週二就在我待辦，我想把它銷掉。若油漆週五能完，實地查看進度仍正常。介系詞習慣出現在我每則狀態：on track、in escrow、under contract。
