1 / 4認得Recognize看到這個英文，我知道它大概是什麼。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.
Utilities
yoo-TIL-ih-teez
水電瓦斯費
공과금
Where you'll see it你會在哪裡看到
- 租屋廣告
- 租約（lease）
- 每個月的房租明細
- 住址證明的文件清單（utility bill）
What it actually means白話說
住在房子裡要用的水、電、瓦斯、垃圾清運這些費用，有時也算上網路。房租不一定有包，要看租約寫誰付；沒包的那幾項，通常要自己申請開通，每個月另外繳。
Common mistake常見的誤會
Utilities included 不代表每一項都包。常見的是只包 water 和 trash，電和網路還是自己付。看廣告或租約上列了哪幾項。

- Gas瓦斯（天然氣，不是汽油） 가스
