（单词翻译）

A: Can you tell me the results of my home inspection1?
B: Before I answer that, I want to make sure that you know what I was looking for. Are you clear on what I was looking for?
A: I never had a home inspection before.
B: I inspect the home for problems that might not be all that apparent2 in a quick walk-through.
A: I asked the owners, and they said that everything was great with the house.
B: The owners might not be aware of everything wrong with the house. Some things are hidden, but might still be a problem for you in the future.
A: I heard that the owners must fix all of the problems before the escrow closes.
B: I inform you of the problems. If there are major problems, you can decline3 to buy the house or they may wish to fix any problems.
A: What kinds of things did you discover in my home inspection?
B: I found some fairly major problems. A major support beam in the roof is broken, and the shower floor leaked and rotted out the second-floor joist.
