聊一聊新家是什么樣

今天的這段對話，在討論搬家，
 
聊一聊新家是什么樣
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Eucharia, you have a new house!
 
尤查里亞，你搬新家了！
 
B: Yes I just moved last week and I have a new house. It's on the side of a mountain. At the back of my house there are rice fields. There's one house immediately next door to mine and it has a crazy barking dog but luckily I like dogs and the dog likes me so when she sees me she gets really hyper now and welcomes me home.
 
對，我上周搬新家了。房子在山的旁邊。房子后面有稻田。有座房子和我家相連，那家有一只狂吠的狗，不過幸運的是我喜歡狗，而且那只狗也喜歡我，所以每次它看到我都會變得很興奮，而且會歡迎我回家。
 
A: That's a nice feeling, it's got to be nice having a dog welcoming you home! So how big is your house?
 
這種感覺真不錯，有只狗歡迎你回家肯定很好！你的房子有多大？
 
B: Well it's like a small bungalow. It's one storey. When you go in the door there is a japanese style porch for taking off your shoes. Then you are in a hallway and there's an extremely large kitchen which goes from one side of the house to the other on the right hand side.
 
和小平房差不多。只有一層。門口處是日式門廊，那里是脫鞋的地方。然后你會看到一個門廳，還有一個從房屋一側延伸至另一側的大廚房。
 
A: Wow that's cool! So does it have an oven? Can you bake?
 
哇，太酷了！廚房里有烤箱嗎？你會烤東西吃嗎？
 
B: I don't have an oven yet. I have everything else but I enjoy cooking. One part of my very, very chequered past I worked as a chef so I really enjoy cooking. I'm not very good but, yeah, it relaxes me after a hard day at work and I let my stress loose on the onions. Chop chop chop chop. And then there's a living room and there's what I euphemistically call a work area. It's where I have a computer, my computer and some books and research stuff. And then there's my… It's all Japanese style flooring except for the kitchen, so its all bamboo flooring so it smells really nice because it's all really fresh and it smells like hay to me.
 
我現(xiàn)在還沒有烤箱。其他的東西我都有，我很喜歡烹飪。我過去的生活充滿波折，我曾經(jīng)做過廚師，所以我喜歡烹飪。雖然我做得不太好，不過在一整天的勞累工作后，烹飪可以讓我放松，我會用洋蔥來緩解我的壓力。切、切、切、切。房子里有間起居室，還有一個我稱為工作區(qū)的地方。那里放著我的電腦、書和研究材料。還有……除了廚房以外，全部都鋪的是日式地板，這種竹木地板非常好聞，很清新，我覺得像干草的味道。
 
A: Sounds like a barn!
 
聽起來像個谷倉！
 
B: I know it's bamboo. It's like sleeping in a barn!
 
我知道是竹木做的，不過就像睡在谷倉里一樣！
 
A: How many bathrooms do you have?
 
你的房子有幾間衛(wèi)生間？
 
B: Oh just one but that's completely normal in Japan. It's a Japanese style home.
 
哦，只有一間，這在日本來說很平常。那是日式房屋。
 
A: So do you have the bath-shower thing? Or just a shower? Just a bath?
 
那有浴缸淋浴嗎？還是只有淋浴？或是只有浴缸？
 
B: I have a bath and shower but — I really like this about Japan that — the toilet room and the bathroom, shower room are 2 seperate rooms in most places. There's also a washing machine room, a pantry thing.
 
我有浴缸也有淋浴，我很喜歡日本的這種構造，大部分地區(qū)的衛(wèi)生間和浴室、淋浴室是兩個房間。當然還有洗衣室和食品室。
 
A: You have a washing machine?
 
你有洗衣機嗎？
 
B: Yeah I can't live without a washing machine! I need to buy a new bigger fridge because my fridge is too small and because it's in the country I can't do shopping as often and by the time I get out of work most… many of the shops around here are closed.
 
有，要是沒有洗衣機我就沒法生活了！我要買個大冰箱，因為我現(xiàn)在的冰箱太小了，這個國家不能時常去購物，因為附近大多數(shù)商店在我下班的那個時間已經(jīng)關門了。
 
A: Well congratulations on your new house!
 
嗯，祝賀你遷入新居！
 
B: Thank you!
 
謝謝你！
