实战口语情景对话 第870期:Nabeel's Place 纳比尔的家

Ginger: So, what about you? You're still in the same place right?
金格：你呢？你还住在原来那个地方吗？

Nabeel: Yeah, I'm still there.
纳比尔：对，我还住在那里。

Ginger: Good. How's it going?
金格：好。你的房子怎么样？

Nabeel: Oh, it's great. I'm actually quite satisfied with it now.
纳比尔：哦，非常好。我非常满意。

Ginger: Oh, good because I though you wanted to move at one point.
金格：这很好，我曾经以为你想搬家呢。

Nabeel: Yeah, I thought about it for awhile but then I decided to stay there. There's a lot of good points there. It's a quiet neighborhood. It's not too far from the train, so I can get to work easily. For awhile I thought it might be a little too expensive, just slightly above my budget, but I've gotten used to it, and my cats love it. They're really comfortable there, so I think I'm going to stay.
纳比尔：对，我是有考虑过一段时间，不过后来我决定还是继续住在那里。住在那里有很多好处。那是个安静的社区。离火车站很近，上班很方便。有一段时间我认为房租太贵了，有点超出我的预算，不过我已经习惯住在那里了，我的猫也喜欢那个房子。它们在那里生活得很舒适，所以我决定继续住下去。

Ginger: Oh, great. I love your cats. Do they have a lot of room to roam around?
金格：哦，很好。我喜欢你的猫。你的房子里房间多吗，足够让它们四处玩耍吗？

Nabeel: They have enough room. Of course, they're better off in the house. I was living there last year but they've adapted pretty well, so there's a roof there. I can take them up and roam around. There's plenty of places for them to hide.
纳比尔：有足够的房间。当然，它们在房子里过得很好。我去年刚搬到那里去，不过它们已经非常适应了，那座大楼有个天台。我可以带它们上去玩。它们有很多可以躲起来的地方。

Ginger: Now, what about your neighbors. Are you still living near Matt and Laura.
金格：你的邻居呢？你还住在马特和劳拉附近吗？

Nabeel: Matt and Laura.
纳比尔：对，马特和劳拉。

Ginger: Right, right.
金格：好，很好。

Nabeel: Actually, it's really funny. They'd been there for about four months, and last weekend they invited some people over, about five or six of their colleagues. They had a little party. They played poker, had lots of booze around, but unfortunately, the neighbors complained to the landlord, and the landlords were just really angry.
纳比尔：其实这很有意思。他们大约在那里生活了四个月，上周末他们邀请了一些朋友去他们家，他们邀请了五六个同事。办了个小型派对。他们在派对上玩扑克牌，还喝了很多酒，不幸的是，邻居向房主投诉他们，房主非常生气。

Ginger: Oh, no.
金格：不是吧。

Nabeel: And sent them this really harsh e-mail and said they wanted them out by the end of the week, so yeah, Matt and Laura have been kicked out of the building.
纳比尔：房主给他们发了一封措辞严厉的电邮，让他们在这周末之前搬走，所以马特和劳拉被赶出了那座大楼。

Ginger: You are kidding.
金格：你开玩笑的吧。

Nabeel: No.
纳比尔：没有。

Ginger: Wow, and just five people over.
金格：哇哦，只有五个人过去玩就弄成这样。

Nabeel: Yeah, it was like five or six people and apparently it was loud enough. I think it is because the neighborhood is kind of family-oriented, so people aren't used to people having parties.
纳比尔：对，只有五六个人，显然那已经非常吵了。我认为是因为那个社区基本都是以家庭为重的人，所以人们不习惯有人开派对。

Ginger: Mm, right. Maybe the voices carry a lot.
金格：嗯，也许是声音太大了。

Nabeel: Yeah, there's a lot of echo in the building actually for some reason.
纳比尔：对，不知道是什么原因，大楼里回声非常大。

Ginger: Well, that's too bad for them. Where did they move?
金格：那对他们来说太糟糕了。那他们搬去哪里了？

Nabeel: They just moved down the street to another apartment building. It's smaller so I don't think they're happy about it. Oh, well.
纳比尔：他们搬到那条街上另一栋公寓大楼去了。他们搬到那条街上另一栋公寓大楼去了。那里要小一些，所以我认为他们并不开心。嗯。

Ginger: Well, tell them I said 'Hey' when you see them.
金格：你看到他们时转告他们我的问候。

Nabeel: I will.
纳比尔：我会的
