聽力每日練習(xí) listen 862 Thermostat

1--It’s freezing in here! Can I turn up the heat?
 
2--Don’t touch that thermostat! You don’t pay the bills around here!
 
1--Dad! Are you serious? What’s the point of having central heating if we can’t use it! Look, I can see my breath!
 
2--Put on a sweater! I’m not gonna let you run up my heating bill just because it’s a bit chilly.
 
1--Dad! I’m gonna catch a cold!
 
2--When I was your age, my parents didn’t have central heating like you do! We had a furnace in the center of the living room and that was it. We used it to cook, heat the house and even dry our clothes! We never caught a cold. You should be grateful!

譯文：
 
1--這里太冷了，我能將加熱量調(diào)大些嗎？
2--別碰那個(gè)恒溫器。這兒的東西你從來(lái)沒付過(guò)費(fèi)。
1--爸爸，你是說(shuō)真的嗎？如果我們不用中央取暖系統(tǒng)，為什么要安裝它呢？看看，我都能看見自己的呼氣。
2--穿件毛衣。我不會(huì)僅僅因?yàn)橛悬c(diǎn)冷而增加我們的取暖花費(fèi)。
1--爸爸，我會(huì)感冒的。
2--當(dāng)我是你這個(gè)年齡時(shí)，我父母并沒有這樣的中央取暖系統(tǒng)。僅在起居室里有個(gè)火爐。我們用她來(lái)做飯，取暖，甚至來(lái)烘烤衣服。我們從未感冒過(guò)。你應(yīng)該心存感激。
