地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客:Shopping for Furniture
Tobias: I really don’t understand why we need new furniture . After we’re married, we’ll just take the things from each of our two apartments and that should do the trick .
Renee: We each have some things we can keep and use, but it would be nice to have pieces that match . Right now, we have six dining chairs , each in a different style, and none of them are in the same style as the dining table your uncle is giving us as a wedding present.
Tobias: Yeah, that’s true. At least, we won’t have to shop for bedroom furniture. We’re lucky that your parents are giving us some hand- me- down things, including a dresser , twonightstands , a headboard , and a wardrobe . All we need is a bed .
Renee: Yeah, we got lucky when they decided to get new furniture and to give us their old pieces. That just leaves the living room.
Tobias: But we already have a couch and a love seat .
Renee: That’s true, but we still need a coffee table , two side tables , and at least two table lamps and a floor lamp .
Tobias: Do we really need all of that?
Renee: If we plan to entertain , we do.
Tobias: All right. I was just hoping to get home in time for the game this afternoon.
Renee: No problem. We only have six more stores to visit after this one.
Tobias: Six?!
Renee: Yes, now come on. How are you going to get home in time for the game if you don’t hurry up?
