(单词翻译)

Back in 1994, I was seriously dating a guy who was of Cherokee descent. We rented a little cottage on a river up in northern California, near Bodega Bay. It was a rustic1 little place, on stilts2, with a balcony that wrapped around it. The interior was filled with antiques and was very charming. There were lots of old mirrors in the place of every shape and size. Anyway, we were really delighted with the place, as it had a lot of charm and a nice fireplace and full kitchen. I felt a little strange and creepy, but shrugged3 it off.

那是1994年,我当时很认真地在和一个男孩交往,他是切罗基族的后裔。我们在加利福尼亚州北部租了一栋小屋,小屋坐落在一条河上,与玻底加湾相距不远。这个小屋空间不大,很有乡村气息,底部有脚柱支撑着,外部一圈都是阳台。屋子里面满是古董,非常吸引人。屋子里有很多面古老的镜子,它们大小不同,形状各异。总之,我们对这间屋子很满意,因为它非常有魅力,里面还有一个漂亮的壁炉,而且厨卫设施齐全。虽然小屋让我感到了一点怪异和害怕,但是我也没有把这当一回事。
