你住的地方怎么樣

今天的這段對話，在討論住處，
 
每個人都需要住處，你住的地方怎么樣
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Hey, Todd, where do you live?
 
嘿，托德，你住在哪里？
 
B: I live on the east side of downtown
 
我住在市中心東部。
 
A: Oh. Do you like it there?
 
哦，你喜歡那里嗎？
 
B: I do. I live in an older house. But it's a big house, and it's really relaxing. It's a nice place to live.
 
我很喜歡。我住在一個老房子里。不過那座房子很大，讓人感覺很舒服。那是個適合居住的地方。
 
A: Wow. Sounds nice. How many rooms does it have?
 
哇哦。聽上去真不錯。你家有多少個房間？
 
B: My house is pretty big. It's four rooms. It has a big sleeping room. It's a Japanese house. So it's not really a bedroom because you sleep on the floor.
 
我的房子非常大。有4個房間。有一間非常大的休息室。那是座日式房屋。所以準確來說不是臥室，因為要睡在地板上。
 
A: Oh.
 
哦。
 
B: But it also has a living room. It has, like, an office room and it has a kitchen.
 
房子里還有客廳、辦公室和廚房。
 
A: Is it a big kitchen?
 
廚房大嗎？
 
B: No, it's a pretty small kitchen and it's a very old kitchen. I have a small stove. So it's very difficult to cook. But, you know, I have a refrigerator. I have a microwave. I have a nice kitchen table to eat at. So it's a pretty decent kitchen.
 
不大，非常小，而且是一個非常老的廚房。我的爐灶非常小。很難用來做飯。不過廚房里有冰箱和微波爐。還有一個漂亮的餐桌?？梢哉f，這個廚房相當不錯。
 
A: It sounds okay. What about your living room? What do you have in the living room?
 
聽起來不錯。那客廳呢？你的客廳里有什么？
 
B: My living room, it's pretty cool for a guy because it's a good place to watch sports. I have a really big TV, and I have cable TV, so I get all the football channels.
 
對男生來說，我的客廳非?？?，因為那是一個看體育比賽的好地方。我有一個非常大的電視，而且我安裝了有線電視，所以我能收看所有足球頻道。
 
A: Nice.
 
不錯。
 
B: And I have a really big sofa, so I can sit on my sofa and watch sports and drink beer. It's great.
 
而且我還有一個大沙發(fā)，所以我可以坐在沙發(fā)上，一邊看體育比賽一邊喝啤酒。非常享受。
 
A: Sounds relaxing.
 
聽起來很舒適。
 
B: Very relaxing.
 
非常舒適。
 
A: Well, do you also have a nice bathroom?
 
你有浴室嗎？
 
B: I do. I actually have three bathrooms.
 
有。實際上我有三個浴室。
 
A: Oh, really?
 
真的嗎？
 
B: It's kind of crazy, yes. So in English, we say bathroom, but I have two rooms that are for the toilet and I have one room or the bathroom with the toilet for the guests. And then I have a bathroom that I used. And then also I have a natural hot spring bath outside my house. So if I want to take a shower or bathe, I use that room.
 
有點瘋狂。雖然在英語中我們說浴室，不過準確來說我有兩個衛(wèi)生間，一間供客人使用的衛(wèi)生間。還有一間我自己用的浴室。我房子外面還有一個天然溫泉浴。如果我想洗澡，我就用那個房間。
 
A: Wow. I'd love to have a hot spring at my house.
 
哇哦。我也想在房子里弄個溫泉。
 
B: Yeah, it's very nice. It's very, very nice.
 
嗯，非常不錯。真的很不錯。
 
A: Does your house also have a yard?
 
你的房子有院子嗎？
 
B: It kind of has a yard. So outside my house, there's an area for flowers and bushes. And it's like a yard or a garden around the house, but it's not a place you can play sports. There's no grass or anything. So it's a very, very small yard. But, you know, it's a nice place.
 
算有院子吧。我房子外面有塊空地，用來種花和灌木。那有點兒像是院子或花園，不過不可以進行體育運動。那里沒有草地。可以說是一個非常小的院子。不過很不錯。
 
A: Oh yeah. It sounds like a nice place to live.
 
好。聽起來是個適合居住的好地方。
 
B: It is a nice place to live. I'm very, very lucky.
 
的確是適合居住的地方。我非常幸運。
 
A: You said you have a sleeping room, not a bedroom. What does that mean?
 
你剛才說你有一個休息室，不是臥室。那是什么意思？
 
B: Yeah. I live at a Japanese style house. So it's called the tatami room. And you sleep in the tatami room and you sleep on the floor on a futon. So I don't have a bed. So it's not a bedroom. It's a room that you sit in during the day and you can eat and talk with guests. But it's also a room that you sleep in at night. So yeah, I call it my sleeping room. But I think in Japan, they just call it the tatami room.
 
對。我住在日式房屋里。所以，那是塌塌米房間。在塌塌米房間睡覺時，是睡在地板上或日式床墊上。所以我沒有床。那并不是臥室。白天可以坐在那間房間里，和客人們一起吃東西，聊天。那也是我晚上睡覺的房間。所以我稱之為休息室。不過我想，在日本人們稱之為塌塌米房間。
 
A: Is it comfortable sleeping on the floor?
 
睡在地板上舒服嗎？
 
B: Yeah, it's really comfortable. Now I love it. So before, I slept on a bed. But now I sleep on the futon on the floor and I really like it. Actually, I prefer to sleep on the futon on the floor.
 
非常舒服。現(xiàn)在我很喜歡睡在地板上。以前，我睡在床上。不過我現(xiàn)在鋪上日式床墊，睡在地板上，我非常喜歡這樣睡覺。實際上，我更喜歡睡在日式床墊上。
 
A: Well, it sounds like your house is really comfortable.
 
聽起來你的房子非常舒服。
 
B: It is. It is. I never want to leave.
 
對，沒錯。我從沒想過搬家。
