英语情景对话
A:I think we should do the floors before we work on the curtains and walls.
A:我想在着手弄窗帘和墙壁前,我们应该先来弄地板。
B:Why? it doesn't make sense. If we do the floors first, and then paint the walls, we will get paint all over our new floor.
B:为什么?不太合理。如果我们先弄地板,然后再粉刷墙,我们会把新地板异得到处是漆。
A:Hmm Maybe you're right. But I can't stand all this green carpet here. And besides, I know how to paint. I will just cover everything with drop cloth. I won't get anything on the floor.
A:嗯,也许你是对的,但是我不能忍受这里的绿色地毯。此外,我知道怎么油漆,我会用塑胶布铺好所有东西,不会让地板沾上任何东西的。
B:Are you sure?
B:你确定吗?
A:Yes, I'm sure I've done a lot of house painting in my life. And my mother was very picky. If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture, she would get furious. So I learned to be very careful.
A:是的,我确定。我这章子已经做过很多次的房屋油漆了,而且我妈还非常挑别的。如果我在她的家具上沾上一小滴油漆,她就会大发雷霆,所以我学会很小心。
B:Alright. Then maybe we can do the floor first. These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful. And me too——I can't wait to get all this old carpet out of here. But how can we get it out? Do we have to hire someone?
B:好吧,那也许我们可以先弄地板。这些在地毯下的木制地板蛮美的,而且我也等不及要把这旧的地毯弄走。但是,怎么能把它弄出去呢?我们要请人吗?
A:Absolutely not. We can remove the carpet ourselves. Carpet is held down with carpet nails. You just need to pull it hard and it will come up.
A:绝对不用,我们可以自己移动地毯。地毯是用地毯钉固定的,你只需要用力地拔,它就出来了。
B:Great. Then, after we remove the carpet, we need to redo all the wood floors. Right?
B:太棒了。那我们搬完地毯后,需要维修所有的木制地板,对不对?
A:Yes. But we should hire someone for that. That will probably be expensive. And it has to be done right.
A:是的,但是我们应该雇用别人来做。可能会很贵,而且要做对才行。
B:And then, after the floors are done, we can start to move our furniture in.
B:然后,地板弄完后,我们可以开始搬家具进去。
A:Sure. If we can get an appointment with someone to do the floors, we should probably be able to have the furniture in here after a week or so. I can get all the carpet out this weekend.
A:好啊。如果我们和人约好要弄地板,大概可以在一周后把家具放好。我在这个周末会把所有地毯都弄出去。
