今天的這段對話,在討論住房,
你居住的環(huán)境怎么樣?有想過搬家嗎
來聽今天的講解:
A: So, what about you? You're still in the same place right?
你呢?你還住在原來那個地方嗎?
B: Yeah, I'm still there.
對,我還住在那里。
A: Good. How's it going?
好。你的房子怎么樣?
B: Oh, it's great. I'm actually quite satisfied with it now.
哦,非常好。我非常滿意。
A: Oh, good because I though you wanted to move at one point.
這很好,我曾經以為你想搬家呢。
B: Yeah, I thought about it for awhile but then I decided to stay there. There's a lot of good points there. It's a quiet neighborhood. It's not too far from the train, so I can get to work easily. For awhile I thought it might be a little too expensive, just slightly above my budget, but I've gotten used to it, and my cats love it. They're really comfortable there, so I think I'm going to stay.
對,我是有考慮過一段時間,不過后來我決定還是繼續(xù)住在那里。住在那里有很多好處。那是個安靜的社區(qū)。離火車站很近,上班很方便。有一段時間我認為房租太貴了,有點超出我的預算,不過我已經習慣住在那里了,我的貓也喜歡那個房子。它們在那里生活得很舒適,所以我決定繼續(xù)住下去。
A: Oh, great. I love your cats. Do they have a lot of room to roam around?
哦,很好。我喜歡你的貓。你的房子里房間多嗎,足夠讓它們四處玩耍嗎?
B: They have enough room. Of course, they're better off in the house. I was living there last year but they've adapted pretty well, so there's a roof there. I can take them up and roam around. There's plenty of places for them to hide.
有足夠的房間。當然,它們在房子里過得很好。我去年剛搬到那里去,不過它們已經非常適應了,那座大樓有個天臺。我可以帶它們上去玩。它們有很多可以躲起來的地方。
A: Now, what about your neighbors. Are you still living near Matt and Laura.
你的鄰居呢?你還住在馬特和勞拉附近嗎?
B: Matt and Laura.
對,馬特和勞拉。
A: Right, right.
好,很好。
B: Actually, it's really funny. They'd been there for about four months, and last weekend they invited some people over, about five or six of their colleagues. They had a little party. They played poker, had lots of booze around, but unfortunately, the neighbors complained to the landlord, and the landlords were just really angry.
其實這很有意思。他們大約在那里生活了四個月,上周末他們邀請了一些朋友去他們家,他們邀請了五六個同事。辦了個小型派對。他們在派對上玩撲克牌,還喝了很多酒,不幸的是,鄰居向房主投訴他們,房主非常生氣。
A: Oh, no.
不是吧。
B: And sent them this really harsh e-mail and said they wanted them out by the end of the week, so yeah, Matt and Laura have been kicked out of the building.
房主給他們發(fā)了一封措辭嚴厲的電郵,讓他們在這周末之前搬走,所以馬特和勞拉被趕出了那座大樓。
A: You are kidding.
你開玩笑的吧。
B: No.
沒有。
A: Wow, and just five people over.
哇哦,只有五個人過去玩就弄成這樣。
B: Yeah, it was like five or six people and apparently it was loud enough. I think it is because the neighborhood is kind of family-oriented, so people aren't used to people having parties.
對,只有五六個人,顯然那已經非常吵了。我認為是因為那個社區(qū)基本都是以家庭為重的人,所以人們不習慣有人開派對。
A: Mm, right. Maybe the voices carry a lot.
嗯,也許是聲音太大了。
B: Yeah, there's a lot of echo in the building actually for some reason.
對,不知道是什么原因,大樓里回聲非常大。
A: Well, that's too bad for them. Where did they move?
那對他們來說太糟糕了。那他們搬去哪里了?
B: They just moved down the street to another apartment building. It's smaller so I don't think they're happy about it. Oh, well.
他們搬到那條街上另一棟公寓大樓去了。他們搬到那條街上另一棟公寓大樓去了。那里要小一些,所以我認為他們并不開心。嗯。
A: Well, tell them I said 'Hey' when you see them.
你看到他們時轉告他們我的問候。
B: I will.
我會的。
