What do you like most about your home?
Well, probably what I like most about my home is that we have a really great river view, because we live quite high up, on the 20th floor, and our flat is right next to the river. So I feel really lucky to have such a nice view, and I never get tired of it.
嗯,也許我最喜歡我家的地方是我們的河景非常好,因為我們住的地方很高,在20層,我們的公寓就在河邊。所以我真的很幸運有這么好的風景,而且我從來沒有厭倦過。
Is there anything you would like to change about your home?
Thinking about it, I’d say there probably is, yeah, for example one thing I would quite like to do is knock down the wall between my kitchen and the living room, because at the moment, there’s not much space in the kitchen, so if we got rid of the wall, it would make everything much more spacious, I think.
想一想,我想說也許有,是的,例如,我很想做的一件事就是敲倒我廚房和客廳之間的墻,因為此刻,廚房里沒有多少空間,所以如果我們去掉墻,一切都會更加寬敞。我是這樣想的。
(Similar to above) What do you think could be improved about your home?
Well, I kind of like my home the way it is, but I guess if I had to change anything, then one thing I might do would be to get rid of the wall between my living room and kitchen, as it would then make things a lot more spacious.
嗯,我有點喜歡我家的樣子,但是我想如果我必須改變什么,那么我可以做的一件事就是去掉客廳和廚房之間的墻,因為那樣會使得房間更加寬敞。
What's your favorite’s room?
I would say my favourite room is probably my living room, firstly because that’s where the TV is, and secondly because it’s got big floor-to-ceiling windows which overlook the river, so we have a really cool view. Oh and one more thing to mention would be that it’s by far the most spacious room in the flat, because all the other rooms are about half the size, if not less.
我想說,我最喜歡的房間可能是我的起居室,首先是因為那里有電視,其次是因為那里有從地板到天花板的大窗戶,可以俯瞰河流,所以我們的視野很涼爽。哦,還有一件事要提的是,這是公寓里迄今為止最寬敞的房間,因為所有其他房間的大小大約是一半,如果不是更小的話。
How is that room decorated?
Well, regarding the walls, we’ve got a few family pictures hanging up, which gives the room a nice personal feel. And as for the flooring, we basically just decided to use ceramic tiles, because they’re very practical in terms of keeping clean, but we’ve also put a small carpet down by the sofa to make that area a little bit cozier. So all in all I’d say it’s a really nice room for chilling out in.
嗯,關于墻壁,我們有一些家庭照片掛起來,給房間一個良好的個人感覺。至于地板,我們基本上只是決定使用瓷磚,因為瓷磚在保持清潔方面非常實用,但是我們還在沙發(fā)旁邊放了一塊小地毯,使那個地方更舒適一些??偠灾?,我認為這是一個很好的房間。
What furniture is in that room?
Well, on one side there’s a big bookshelf, which basically stretches across the entire wall, coz we’ve got a lot of books! Then against another wall, we’ve got a nice big sofa, which probably seats about 8 or 9 people, so it’s great for when we have friends over.
好的,在一邊有一個大書架,它基本上橫跨整個墻,因為我們有很多書。然后靠著另一堵墻,我們有一個很好的大沙發(fā),大概能坐8、9個人,所以當我們有朋友過來的時候就很好。
In the future, what sort of home (flat, house etc.) would you like to live in?
Well, thinking about it, I’d say I would like to live in a villa overlooking the sea, the main reason being that, with a villa, I would get my own garden, which wouldn’t be the case if I lived in a flat, and I think having a nice view of the sea would be great for helping me relax whenever I needed to.
嗯,想想看,我想住在一個可以俯瞰大海的別墅里,主要原因是,有了別墅,我會有自己的花園,如果我住在公寓里就不會這樣,而且我認為,每當我住在公寓里時,能看到美麗的海景會幫助我放松。
Do you like the area where you live?
Yeah, on the whole I'd say it's a pretty nice place, you know, there are quite a few good restaurants and shops, and most of the buildings are pretty new. So it's quite an up-and-coming area, and I’m really happy to be living there.
是啊,總的來說,我認為那是一個相當不錯的地方,你知道,有很多不錯的餐廳和商店,而且大部分的建筑都是相當新的。所以這是一個很有前途的領域,我真的很高興住在那里。
