《听见英国》第8练：你要找谁当室友？ (MP3和文本下载)

Unit 2 Accommodation and Housing住宿及找房子
Listening 4 Who Would You Like as a Flat mate? 你要找谁当室友？

英语听力原文：
Willem: Our landlord seems to be looking for a new lodger. Did you know that，Eleanor？
Eleanor: Really? No, I didn't.
W: I love meeting new people all the time, but living under the same roof and meeting new people are different matters.
E: Yes, you're right. So what kind of person would like as a flat mate, Willem?
W: Well, first of all, someone that's not so noisy and someone who is clean.
E: A clean person? What exactly do you mean?
W: Well, you know, we're going to share the bathroom and kitchen. So somebody who always keeps them clean and tidy. When I was living in Wimbledon before, I had such a bad experience with people who couldn't tidy up. What about you?
E: Me? Well, someone from abroad might be interesting. You see, as you said, living under the same roof and meeting new people are different matters. So it may be a good chance to make a foreign friend.
W: That’s true. Anyway, I hope our landlord will find a nice person as our new flat mate.

英语听力翻译：
威伦：我们的房东好像要找一个新房客，你知道这件事吗，爱莉诺？
爱莉诺：真的吗？我不知掉耶。
威伦：我一直很喜欢认识新朋友，但是住在同一个屋檐下和认识新朋友是两回事。
爱莉诺：对啊，你说得对。那么你想要什么样的人当室友呢，威伦？
威伦：嗯，首先呢，不要太吵，然后要干净的人。
爱莉诺：干净的人？到底是什么意思？
威伦：哎，你知道的，我们要共享浴室和厨房，所以希望是个能够保持厨房和浴室整齐清洁的人。我以前住在温布尔登的时候，曾经有过很糟糕的经验，和一些不爱整洁的人住在一起。那你呢？
爱莉诺：我？嗯，从国外来的人可能会很有意思。你知道，就像你刚才说的，住在同一个屋檐下和认识新朋友是两回事。所以这可能是交外国朋友的好机会。
威伦：没错。不管怎么样，希望我们的房东可以找到一个好人当我们的新室友。

英语文化常识普及：
在英国，一栋住宅分租给好几个人并不是罕见的事，通常厨房、浴室、厕所由大家共用，每个人的寝室兼书房则各自独立。房东自己占一间房和房客一起住也是常见的现象，有时候房东有各种规定，例如禁烟、禁止饲养宠物等。
