C: have you ever seen Bill Gate's home on the internet?

M: no. what's it like?

C: it's got its own library, theatre, swimming pool, and a guest house. The house itself has about ten different rooms that are all hooked up to computers so you can get things done in each room through a remote control. It's also located near the sea, so he can park his boats next to his house. It's absolutely amazing!

M: would you want to live there?

C: I think his house is fantastic, but I wouldn't want to live there. You would have to hire one or two people to clean all the rooms in the house, plus a few people to take care of the gardens, and probably an au pair or two to take care of the children. It's just too big of a place to take care of on your own.

M: what's your dreamhome like then?

C: my dream home is actually just a samll cottage in a quite village in England.

M: would you want to buy an old cottage or build a new one yourself?

C: old homes are great because they've got character. I think that's important.

M: it that why you wear second-hand cloths as well? Because they've got character?

C: no, that's just because I don't have enough money to buy new cloths all the time!

M: I see. If you lived in an old house, would it be decorated in a modern way?

C: no, I'd definitely try to restore it to its original state. I love to imagine what it'd be like to live in another time in history and living in a house decorated like it would have been 200 years ago would be a great way to feed my imagination even more!

你在網(wǎng)上看到過比爾蓋茨的家嗎?

沒見過。什么樣啊?

他家有私人圖書館，影院，游泳池和供客人住的別墅。主人的別墅里有十間完全不同的房間，都連著電腦，所以你可以在任何一個地方用遙控器控制其它房間里的設(shè)備。別墅建在海邊，他的游艇就停泊在房子旁邊。實在是太美了。

你想住在那里嗎?

我是覺得他的房子很棒，可是我不想住在那里。你得雇一倆個人來打掃所有的房間，再雇好幾個人來打理花園，也很可能還需要一倆個保姆照顧孩子們。這房子自己來弄實在是太大了。

那你夢想中的家是個什么樣的呢?

我夢想的家應(yīng)該在英格蘭一個很安靜的小鎮(zhèn)，是一套小小的鄉(xiāng)村農(nóng)舍。

你想買一套老宅子還是自己蓋套新的?

老房子當然最好了，因為它有自己獨特的味道。我認為這點很重要。

這也是你穿二手衣服的原因嗎?因為它們有自己的味道?

不，那只是因為我沒錢買新衣服。

我知道了。如果你有一套老房子，你會把它裝修的很現(xiàn)代嗎?
