订金 英语怎么说

在英语中，订金的意思是"deposit"。这个词来自拉丁语的"depositum"，意思是"something given for safekeeping"，后来演变为"something left to secure the fulfillment of a contract"，最后又进一步演变为"money left as a guarantee for the fulfillment of an obligation"。下面是一些英文例句和中文翻译：
I'll have to pay a deposit if I want to rent that apartment.
（如果我要租那套公寓，我必须交一笔订金。）
I can't get my deposit back until I return the keys to the landlord.
（在我把钥匙还给房东之前，我不能退还订金。）
The deposit will be refunded if the car is returned in good condition.
（如果汽车归还时状况良好，订金将退还。）
