Meg: Wow. Sounds nice. How many rooms does it have?

梅格：哇哦。聽(tīng)上去真不錯(cuò)。你家有多少個(gè)房間?

Todd: My house is pretty big. It's four rooms. It has a big sleeping room. It's a Japanese house. So it's not really a bedroom because you sleep on the floor.

托德：我的房子非常大。有4個(gè)房間。有一間非常大的休息室。那是座日式房屋。所以準(zhǔn)確來(lái)說(shuō)不是臥室，因?yàn)橐诘匕迳稀?/p>

Meg: Oh.

梅格：哦。

Todd: But it also has a living room. It has, like, an office room and it has a kitchen.

托德：房子里還有客廳、辦公室和廚房。

Meg: Is it a big kitchen?

梅格：廚房大嗎?

Todd: No, it's a pretty small kitchen and it's a very old kitchen. I have a small stove. So it's very difficult to cook. But, you know, I have a refrigerator. I have a microwave. I have a nice kitchen table to eat at. So it's a pretty decent kitchen.

托德：不大，非常小，而且是一個(gè)非常老的廚房。我的爐灶非常小。很難用來(lái)做飯。不過(guò)廚房里有冰箱和微波爐。還有一個(gè)漂亮的餐桌?？梢哉f(shuō)，這個(gè)廚房相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)。

Meg: It sounds okay. What about your living room? What do you have in the living room?

梅格：聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。那客廳呢?你的客廳里有什么?

Todd: My living room, it's pretty cool for a guy because it's a good place to watch sports. I have a really big TV, and I have cable TV, so I get all the football channels.

托德：對(duì)男生來(lái)說(shuō)，我的客廳非?？?，因?yàn)槟鞘且粋€(gè)看體育比賽的好地方。我有一個(gè)非常大的電視，而且我安裝了有線電視，所以我能收看所有足球頻道。

Meg: Nice.

梅格：不錯(cuò)。

Todd: And I have a really big sofa, so I can sit on my sofa and watch sports and drink beer. It's great.

托德：而且我還有一個(gè)大沙發(fā)，所以我可以坐在沙發(fā)上，一邊看體育比賽一邊喝啤酒。非常享受。

Meg: Sounds relaxing.

梅格：聽(tīng)起來(lái)很舒適。

Todd: Very relaxing.

托德：非常舒適。

Meg: Well, do you also have a nice bathroom?

梅格：你有浴室嗎?

Todd: I do. I actually have three bathrooms.

托德：有。實(shí)際上我有三個(gè)浴室。

Meg: Oh, really?

梅格：真的嗎?

Todd: It's kind of crazy, yes. So in English, we say bathroom, but I have two rooms that are for the toilet and I have one room or the bathroom with the toilet for the guests. And then I have a bathroom that I used. And then also I have a natural hot spring bath outside my house. So if I want to take a shower or bathe, I use that room.

托德：有點(diǎn)瘋狂。雖然在英語(yǔ)中我們說(shuō)浴室，不過(guò)準(zhǔn)確來(lái)說(shuō)我有兩個(gè)衛(wèi)生間，一間供客人使用的衛(wèi)生間。還有一間我自己用的浴室。我房子外面還有一個(gè)天然溫泉浴。如果我想洗澡，我就用那個(gè)房間。

Meg: Wow. I'd love to have a hot spring at my house.

梅格：哇哦。我也想在房子里弄個(gè)溫泉。

Todd: Yeah, it's very nice. It's very, very nice.

托德：嗯，非常不錯(cuò)。真的很不錯(cuò)。

Meg: Does your house also have a yard?

梅格：你的房子有院子嗎?

Todd: It kind of has a yard. So outside my house, there's an area for flowers and bushes. And it's like a yard or a garden around the house, but it's not a place you can play sports. There's no grass or anything. So it's a very, very small yard. But, you know, it's a nice place.

托德：算有院子吧。我房子外面有塊空地，用來(lái)種花和灌木。那有點(diǎn)兒像是院子或花園，不過(guò)不可以進(jìn)行體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。那里沒(méi)有草地?？梢哉f(shuō)是一個(gè)非常小的院子。不過(guò)很不錯(cuò)。

Meg: Oh yeah. It sounds like a nice place to live.

梅格：好。聽(tīng)起來(lái)是個(gè)適合居住的好地方。

Todd: It is a nice place to live. I'm very, very lucky.

托德：的確是適合居住的地方。我非常幸運(yùn)。

Meg: You said you have a sleeping room, not a bedroom. What does that mean?

梅格：你剛才說(shuō)你有一個(gè)休息室，不是臥室。那是什么意思?

Todd: Yeah. I live at a Japanese style house. So it's called the tatami room. And you sleep in the tatami room and you sleep on the floor on a futon. So I don't have a bed. So it's not a bedroom. It's a room that you sit in during the day and you can eat and talk with guests. But it's also a room that you sleep in at night. So yeah, I call it my sleeping room. But I think in Japan, they just call it the tatami room.

托德：對(duì)。我住在日式房屋里。所以，那是塌塌米房間。在塌塌米房間睡覺(jué)時(shí)，是睡在地板上或日式床墊上。所以我沒(méi)有床。那并不是臥室。白天可以坐在那間房間里，和客人們一起吃東西，聊天。那也是我晚上睡覺(jué)的房間。所以我稱(chēng)之為休息室。不過(guò)我想，在日本人們稱(chēng)之為塌塌米房間。

Meg: Is it comfortable sleeping on the floor?

梅格：睡在地板上舒服嗎?

Todd: Yeah, it's really comfortable. Now I love it. So before, I slept on a bed. But now I sleep on the futon on the floor and I really like it. Actually, I prefer to sleep on the futon on the floor.

托德：非常舒服?，F(xiàn)在我很喜歡睡在地板上。以前，我睡在床上。不過(guò)我現(xiàn)在鋪上日式床墊，睡在地板上，我非常喜歡這樣睡覺(jué)。實(shí)際上，我更喜歡睡在日式床墊上。

Meg: Well, it sounds like your house is really comfortable.

梅格：聽(tīng)起來(lái)你的房子非常舒服。

Todd: It is. It is. I never want to leave.

托德：對(duì)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我從沒(méi)想過(guò)搬家。
