What it really means

Somewhere between furnished and unfurnished — perhaps white goods, wardrobes and curtains but no beds or sofa. The meaning varies a lot, so always ask for an exact list before signing.

Chinese explanation
介于带家具和不带家具之间——可能有大家电、衣柜和窗帘,但没有床和沙发。具体含义差别很大,签约前一定索要确切清单。

Example conversation
