Single room

SING-gel room
Neutral Neutral

What it really means

A bedroom with a single bed, smaller and cheaper than a double. Note: it means the room size, not "for one person" — almost all rooms in UK house shares are for one person anyway.

Chinese explanation
放单人床的卧室,比双人间小且便宜。注意:它指房间大小,而不是"限住一人"——英国合租房的房间本来几乎都是单人住。

Example conversation

A: The single room is £90 a week. B: That’s decent for this area — is it available from September?
A:单人间每周90英镑。 B:在这个区域算不错了——9月起可以入住吗?

What you could say back

“Could I view the single room this week?”
