聽力每日練習(xí) listen 1132 Build?a?deck

 
2--Hi, John, I am trying to find a carpenter.
 
1--Why?
 
2--Well, I want to build a deck in my back yard.
 
1--What for?
 
2--So I can have a special place to hang out with friends, and also do some barbecuing on weekends.
 
1--That sounds cool. Do you mind if I recommend myself for the job?
 
2--You? Do you have a carpenter's license?
 
1--Yes, of course. But I only freelance on weekends with my uncle.
 
2--Wow! That's cool. So, let me give you some details about the deck I want.
 
1--Please go ahead, I am listening.
 
2--I'd like my deck to be at the same level as the back door.
 
1--Is your back door higher than the ground level?
 
2--Yes, the back door is about four or five steps higher than the ground.
 
1--Okay, then you need a deck with a guardrail.
 
2--I don't like things to be fancy.
 
1--Don't worry. I will build your deck with a simple but classic look.
 
2--Hmm, that's good. Can you use cedar or redwood to build it?
 
1--Cedar is a good choice.
 
2--Well, let's take the measurements right now.

譯文：

1--嗨，莎拉，你在看什么？
2--嗨，約翰，我在找木匠。
1--為什么找木匠？
2--嗯，我想在后院建一個平臺。
1--用來干嘛呢？
2--那樣我就有一個地方專門和朋友聚會聊天啦，而且，周末也可以在那里燒烤。
1--聽起來很棒，你介意我毛遂自薦么？
2--你？你有木匠執(zhí)照么？
1--有啊，但我只有在周末才有空和我叔叔一起接生意做。
2--哇，真厲害，那么我告訴你一些我想建的平臺的細節(jié)。
1--說吧，我在聽。
2--我要我的平臺和后門一樣高。
1--你的后門高于地面么？
2--是的，后門比地面高出大約4—5級臺階。
1--好吧，這樣你的平臺需要加護欄。
2--我不要太花哨的設(shè)計。
1--放心，我會幫你把平臺做得簡單而高雅。
2--嗯，那很好，你可以用西洋杉或者紅木來做么？
1--西洋杉是不錯的選擇。
2--那么，我們現(xiàn)在就來測量吧。
