地道美語聽力播客526:買家具, 大的好還是小的好?

[00:00:05] Your apartment is going to look fabulous once I 'm finished decorating it! 等我把你的房間裝飾好，它就真地煥然一新了。 [00:08:15] I really appreciate you taking the time to help me choose some furniture, but I 'd really like to keep the look conservative and traditional. 我真地很感謝你能抽出時間來幫我選一些家具，但我真地很想讓它顯得保守和傳統(tǒng)一點。 [00:20:44] Nonsense! 瞎說！ [00:22:22] You have a fabulous new apartment and I 'm going to help you make the most of it. 你這可是一間嶄新的房間，而我將幫你最大限度地利用它的優(yōu)勢。 [00:31:37] Look at that oval mirror. 快看這個橢圓的穿衣鏡， [00:34:21] It 'll look fantastic in your hall. 放在你的大廳里真是美呆了！ [00:38:30] That mirror is gigantic! 這個鏡子太大了！ [00:41:40] I do not think I want anything that size. 并非每個東西都是大的才好。 [00:45:56] How about this rectangular one? 你看這個矩形的穿衣鏡怎么樣？ [00:49:34] That's too puny for that space. 這個太小了，和你那個大房間不搭調(diào)。 [00:53:42] Oh, look at this triangular bookcase. 哦，過來看看這個三角形的書櫥。 [00:58:11] It would really complement the fireplace in the den. 它會和你書房的那個壁爐相得益彰。 [01:03:28] I do not think that bookcase is very functional. 我覺得那個書櫥并不實用。 [01:07:56] The shelves are so narrow and it's an odd shape. 它的書架太狹小了，而且形狀也太奇怪了。 [01:13:05] It really looks nice, but I need furniture that I can actually use. 雖然它看起來確實不錯，但我需要的是一個可以讓我使用的書櫥。 [01:19:10] I like this one better. 相比而言，我更喜歡這個。 [01:21:01] How boring! 你真乏味！ [01:23:49] You need something that makes a statement. 你需要是可以為你裝點門面的東西。 [01:28:16] How about this chair? 這把椅子怎么樣？ [01:30:32] It's fabulous! 它看起來太棒了！ [01:32:27] It's a humongous circle on the floor with a cushion on top of it. 如果在這把椅子上放一個墊子，它就像是擱在地板上的一個碩大的圓環(huán)。 [01:38:50] I do not think anyone would ever sit on it. 我想沒人愿意坐上去。 [01:43:17] Yes, but in design, you have to consider form before function. 有道理。但從設(shè)計的角度而言，你首先要考慮的是外觀，然后才是實用性。 [01:51:04] That's where we differ. 這就是我們的不同之處。 [01:53:27] I actually have to live in this apartment, remember? 我可是要住在這間房子里的，你忘了這一點了？
