What it really means

The UK's biggest website for finding rooms in house shares and flatmates. You can message advertisers and attend "speed-flatmating" events. Watch for scams: never send money before viewing a room in person or by live video.

Chinese explanation

英国最大的合租房和室友寻找网站。可以给发布者发消息，还有"闪电找室友"活动。谨防诈骗：没实地看房或视频连线看房前，绝不要转账。
