今天的這段對話,在討論室友,
與生活邋遢的人合租是什么感受
來聽今天的講解:
A: Hey, Jeff this is a very nice apartment.
嗨,杰夫,這個公寓真不錯。
B: Hmm. It's comfortable. It's cozy. Japanese style.
嗯。舒服又溫馨。這是日式公寓。
A: I like it. It's got the tatami mat, small kitchen. Do you live alone?
我喜歡這間公寓。有榻榻米,還有間小廚房。你是一個人住嗎?
B: I live alone but right now I have a friend of mine staying with me.
我是一個人住,不過現(xiàn)在有個朋友和我住在一起。
A: Oh, really, a roommate.
哦,室友。
B: Sort of like a roommate, yes. A short term, he's staying with me short-term, so yes a roommate.
有點兒像室友。他只是暫時和我住在一起,對,是室友。
A: OK, how's that going?
好,感覺怎么樣?
B: Ah, I don't like it.
我不喜歡。
A: Why?
為什么?
B: He's lazy. He's messy. He drinks too much. He doesn't exercise and he doesn't contribute any money to the rent.
他又懶又邋遢還酗酒。他不鍛煉,也不幫我分擔房租。
A: Ooh, so he lives here and he doesn't give you any money?
哦,那他住在這里可是沒有付你房租嗎?
B: Well, yeah, he doesn't give me any money. The money's not so bad, though, it's just that he's lazy and he doesn't do much all day.
對,他并沒有付我錢。其實房租還不是最糟糕的,主要是他太懶了,一整天都不怎么動。
A: That's got to be pretty annoying.
那真是很煩人。
B: He's a great fellow. He's a good friend of mine, but, yeah, he's, I try to motivate him to do a few things but he's a tough one.
他人不錯,是我的好朋友,我試圖激勵他去做一些事情,不過很難。
A: Are you going to tell him he has to move out?
你會告訴他讓他搬出去嗎?
B: Ah, no, he's a smart man. He knows. He knows. He knows the deal. He knows what's going on and I think he's, yeah, I would never ask him to move out because I don't mind having him here but I'm just going to try to whip him into shape.
不會,他是個聰明人。他知道,他知道情況,這些他都知道,所以我想我不會讓他搬出去,因為我并不介意他住在這里,不過我會努力幫他塑造形象。
A: Oh, so you're just going to try to change him so he becomes a better roommate?
所以你要試圖去改變他,使他成為更好的室友?
B: I'm going to be like a woman and try to, yeah, try to get him a better schedule, a better schedule (yeah) like exercise and eating right and less smoking and less drinking.
我會去做女性做的事情,幫他制定一份更好的時間表,讓他去鍛煉、合理飲食、少吸煙、少喝酒。
A: Well, what is his schedule?
那他現(xiàn)在的生活是什么樣的?
B: Ah, his schedule is, he's like a night owl, he stays up most of the night drinking, and then he sleeps most of the day recovering, and then when he gets up he has a hangover. He's a bit sluggish and slow, so it's not a healthy lifestyle.
他的日常安排,他是個夜貓子,他晚上經(jīng)常熬夜,大部分時間都在喝酒,他白天睡覺來恢復精神,起床的時候會有宿醉的感覺。他行動有些緩慢,這是不健康的生活方式。
A: Yeah, it doesn't sound like it. Good luck.
對,聽上去并不健康。祝你好運。
B: No problem.
謝謝。
