今天的這段對(duì)話,在討論公寓,

A: I like this apartment. Do you think we can afford the mortgage?
我喜歡這套公寓。你認(rèn)為我們能負(fù)擔(dān)得起抵押貸款嗎?

是的。我想是的。這不是一套很貴的公寓。它在合適的區(qū)域,里面有我們想要的一切。房間也很大。

我喜歡陽(yáng)臺(tái)。夏天我們可以坐在外面享受陽(yáng)光。我們?cè)?2樓,所以從陽(yáng)臺(tái)上可以看到很好的景色。

B: it’s a pity we can’t afford a house. A garden would be so nice.
很遺憾我們買(mǎi)不起房子。有花園就太好了。

是的,會(huì)的。別擔(dān)心。大樓外面有草坪,附近有公園。這個(gè)地方會(huì)很好的。

A: so, tell me about you new house. How is it different to your old one?
那么,告訴我你的新房子。它和你的舊房子有什么不同?
B: well, first of all, it’s much bigger. It has the same number of rooms, but each room is larger. We also have a larger garden, which our dog loves, of course!
首先,它要大得多。它有相同數(shù)量的房間,但每個(gè)房間都更大。我們還有一個(gè)更大的花園,當(dāng)然,我們的狗喜歡這個(gè)花園!
A: so, it’s a three-bedrooms detached house?
那么,這是一棟三居室的獨(dú)立式房子?
B: yes. One bedroom is for my wife and i. there’s another for our daughter. My wife wants to use the third one as a guest room, but I’d like to make it into a study. Our daughter is also keen on making it a study, so that’s probably what will happen.
是的。一間臥室是我和我的。還有一間是我們女兒的。我妻子想把第三間用作客房,但我想把它做成書(shū)房。我們的女兒也很想把它變成書(shū)房,所以這可能會(huì)發(fā)生。
A: what’s the kitchen like? I know both you and your wife like to cook.
廚房是什么樣子的?我知道你和你妻子都喜歡做飯。
B: that’s one of the main reason we chose that particular house. The kitchen and dining room are together. It’s really large.
這是我們選擇那所房子的主要原因之一。廚房和餐廳在一起。它真的很大。
A: are the rooms nice and bright?
房間又漂亮又明亮嗎?
B: yes, they are. That’s very important to us. We like to live in a home with plenty of natural light. Each room has large windows.

A: do you have a balcony?
你有陽(yáng)臺(tái)嗎?
B: no, we don’t. we wish we had one. That’s the only thing we wanted, but don’t have. The area is very nice and the neighbours seem friendly.
不,我們沒(méi)有。我們希望我們有一個(gè)。這是我們唯一想要的,但沒(méi)有。這個(gè)地區(qū)很好,鄰居們看起來(lái)很友好。
A: you’re right on the edge of the city, aren’t you? There can’t be much noise or traffic there. Is it easy to get into city centre?
你就在城市的邊緣,不是嗎?那里不會(huì)有太多的噪音或交通。去市中心容易嗎?
B: it’s a very quiet neighbourhood. There’s some traffic, but not much. It’s not very difficult to get to the city centre, but you must remember to turn left and right at the right places or you’ll get lost. So when are you going to drop by?
這是一個(gè)非常安靜的街區(qū)。有一些交通,但不多。去市中心不是很難,但你必須記得在正確的地方左轉(zhuǎn)和右轉(zhuǎn),否則你會(huì)迷路的。那么你什么時(shí)候來(lái)?
