　　英语情景对话

　　A:What else should we do now after the floors are done and after the furniture is in?

　　A:地板弄完，家具放好后我们还要做什么呢？

　　B:We need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings¹.

　　B:我们需要重做窗帘和油漆所有的墙壁及天花板。

　　A:I'm the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn't cheap.

　　A:我是油漆工，你可以负责去窗帘店挑窗帘。那可能也会很贵，要订做好的窗帘不可能便宜。

　　B:You mean we can't just buy curtains already made?

　　B:你是说我们不能买成品窗帘？

　　A:Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally². So that will take awhile. Maybe a month or so.

　　A:绝对不行。必须先量好这些窗户，再特地制作窗帘，这可能会花上一段时问，也许要一个月左右。

　　B:While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook there. I don't want to use that electric stove.

　　B:做窗帘期间，我可以开始请人来勘查厨房。我受不了那个老旧的厨房，我没法在里面烹煮东西，我不想用那个电炉。

　　简约舒适的装修

　　A:We need to find an interior³ decorating company to redecorate the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize⁴ in kitchen renovation⁵. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory⁶ and light green.

　　A:我们需要找一家室内装潢公司来整修厨房。我相信在波特兰会有一些专门整修厨房的店，我会翻一下黄页。我想要一间大部分是象牙色和浅绿色的厨房。

　　B:I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.

　　B:我同意。颜色必须柔和愉悦，做饭时你要觉得舒服才好。

　　A:Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.

　　A:我？做饭？哈，亲爱的，你才要煮，你煮啦。

　　B:No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room.

　　B:不，我不认为。我会在新的茶室忙着品茶。

　　A:Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year.

　　A:好吧，我想我们请个厨子好了。那你明年就买不起任何衣服了。

　　B:And you'll have to sell your motorcycle⁷. And your cameras. Right?

　　B:而且你必须卖掉你的摩托车，还有你的摄影机，是不是？

　　A:Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that?

　　A:也许我一周煮饭一两次，怎么样？

　　B:Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.

　　B:四次才够，不只是一两次。
