地道美语听力练习:组装家具

Armand:Did you know that this nightstand required assembly when you bought it?

Suzanne:The box said that it required simple assembly.

I guess what's simple to them isn't simple to us.

Armand:You can say that again.

These instructions aren't in English, there are no diagrams showing how the parts fit together, and we seem to be missing parts.

I also question the quality.

It's mainly made of particleboard and plywood.

Do you think we should return it?

Suzanne:No, let's just keep it and do the best we can.

Armand:That's hard to do when there seems to be a design flaw with the drawers.

The pieces don't fit together as they should.

These nails are also bent and these screws look defective.

Suzanne:It's not looking good, is it?

I also bought this because I thought everything could be assembled using Allen wrenches, but it looks like we'll actually need a hammer, screwdriver, and maybe a drill.

Armand:Well, let's see what we can do.

If we don't have the right tools or parts, I have a solution.

Suzanne:What?

Armand:Duct tape.
