1 / 4认得Recognize看到这个英文，我知道它大概是什么。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.
Utilities
yoo-TIL-ih-teez
水电燃气费
공과금
Where you'll see it你会在哪里看到
- 租房广告
- 租约（lease）
- 每个月的房租明细
- 住址证明的文件清单（utility bill）
What it actually means白话说
住在房子里要用的水、电、燃气、垃圾清运这些费用，有时也算上网络。房租不一定有包，要看租约写谁付；没包的那几项，通常要自己申请开通，每个月另外缴。
Common mistake常见的误会
Utilities included 不代表每一项都包。常见的是只包 water 和 trash，电和网络还是自己付。看广告或租约上列了哪几项。
Often right next to it旁边常出现的单词

- Gas燃气（天然气，不是汽油） 가스
