We're a small firm that manufactures machine parts, and we wanted to expand.
我们是一家制造机器零件的小公司，我们想要扩张。
There was no space on our old site, so we realised we'd have to move to a different town.
我们以前的场地没有空间了，所以我们意识到我们需要搬到另一个镇上。
We had well-qualified staff who would have no difficulty getting other jobs without having to move home, and we needed to keep nearly all of them.
我们有合格的员工，他们不用搬家就能找到其他工作，我们需要留下他们几乎所有人。
So that meant looking for premises in towns that were within easy reach for most of the workforce.
所以这意味着在小镇上寻找大部分员工容易抵达的经营场所。
We found somewhere suitable, but within a very short time, several major employers moved to the area, and, as a result, rents rocketed.
我们发现了一些适合的地方，但是短期内，几名主要雇主搬到了这个地区，因此，租金迅速增加。
This was before we'd signed the lease, and suddenly the place we wanted was almost beyond our means. In the end, we managed to get it, but it was a struggle.
这是在我们签署租赁合同之前，并且突然之间，我们负担不起想要租的地方了。最后，我们还是租到了，但很艰难。
