实战口语情景对话 第1098期:His Dream House 他的理想之家

2018-01-03来源:和谐英语

Spencer: Yeah. So Curtis, what would your dream house be like? Tell me about the kitchen, living room, yard.
斯宾塞:好。柯蒂斯,你的理想之家是什么样的?和我说说你理想中的厨房、客厅和花园。

Curtis: Well, I've thought a lot about my dream house and designing it. Actually, that's the kind of work that my father does, so he said he could draw the plans up for me. But I've done a lot of art and I really want to work my art into the house. So the living room, I would like there to be kind of a frieze around the outside of the room where I actually do the art myself. Now, I used to do a lot of construction when I was younger, and so I would really like to take part in the process so that I have a kind of sense of ownership with the house that I've really built a part of that. The kitchen, I want it to be a very large space and next to a room that has a lot of media so that you can kind of pay attention to things or watch tutorials and recipes while you're cooking, follow along with your favorite chefs or cooking channels. I'd like a really big industrial refrigerator and a huge island that I can work with, as well as a massive sink for cleaning things. I used to work at a restaurant and I loved the dishwasher there because it was so quick and easy. So I would like a restaurant-style dishwasher in my kitchen, too.
柯蒂斯:就理想之家来说,我想了很多,也进行了设计。实际上,那是我父亲的工作,他说过他可以为我画设计图。不过我也学过很多与艺术相关的东西,我想自己设计我的房子。就客厅来说,我希望房外墙有壁画,我通常自己制作这些壁画。我以前做建筑工作,我年轻的时候很喜欢建房子,这让我感觉我是这个家的主人,房子一部分是我建的。我希望厨房空间很大,厨房旁边的房间最好有很多媒体设备,这样在做饭的时候,就能参考教程或是食谱,按照你喜欢的主厨或是美食频道教的那样做。我想要一个大的工业冰箱,一个大的工作台,以及清洁用的洗涤糟。我在餐厅工作过,我喜欢餐厅的洗碗机,因为可以很快就把碗洗完,而且很好操作。我也想在我的厨房里装一个餐厅用的洗碗机。

Spencer: Yeah. So tell me about – what would your yard be like?
斯宾塞:好。那花园呢?

Curtis: I would like a lot of grass. I really love a yard with nice grass especially when you're playing soccer, you can get under the ball and have a lot of fun like that.
柯蒂斯:我希望有块大草坪。我非常喜欢带草坪的花园,可以在草坪上踢足球、玩躲避球,享受快乐时光。

Spencer: It's nice to have a big backyard to play sports.
斯宾塞:有个能进行体育活动的大后院不错。

Curtis: Yeah. I think so as well.
柯蒂斯:对。我也是这么想的。

Spencer: What about your bathroom?
斯宾塞:那浴室呢?

Curtis: My bathroom. Well, I would like to have a kind of a spa in there, honestly. I would like to have a big bathtub. But I want my house to have geothermal heating. And if I have a geothermal heating system, I can also probably have a hot spring in the bathroom. I like it to be quite big and have a nice shower as well. Just very nice open area with nice sinks. I don't want to feel constrained in my bathroom. I don't want it to be small. It has to be big.
柯蒂斯:浴室。说实话,我想在浴室装一个水疗设施。我也想浴室里有个大浴缸。我希望我的房子用地热供暖。如果我有地热供暖系统,我还可以在浴室里泡温泉。我还希望浴室面积大一些,有不错的淋浴器。浴室要有开孔面积,配备优质的水槽。我不希望浴室给人压抑的感觉。浴室也不能太小,面积一定要大。

Spencer: What about your living room?
斯宾塞:那客厅呢?

Curtis: My living room. One of the things that was really important to me for my living room again, is the art that I want to have a lot of details around the outside that are murals or friezes that I have actually created on the wall and so that there's almost a kind of entertaining sense about it. Just being in there before you turn on any other devices or televisions or anything like that. That there is kind of a artistic and comfortable feel to it. It doesn't feel sterile, it feels very homey.
柯蒂斯:客厅。我认为,对客厅来说其中一件重要的事是,我希望外墙有很多艺术作品,比如我制作的壁画,这会使人愉快。在打开其他设备或是电视以前,看看那些艺术品。那种艺术性会让人感觉舒适。不会给人刻板的感觉,而是会让人感受到温馨。

Spencer: Cool. Would you have a big garage?
斯宾塞:真酷。你想要个大车库吗?

Curtis: I probably would have a big garage because I really love driving, and I used to race cars at the track. And for the purposes of doing work on cars, or any other DIY work around the house, I would like to have a really big nice garage.
柯蒂斯:我可能需要个大车库,因为我喜欢开车,我以前在赛道上赛过车。为了改装汽车,或是自己设计房子,我想有个非常大的车库。

Spencer: Would you have any sort of like swimming pool or – I know you said you wanted a sauna in your bathroom but...
斯宾塞:你想要游泳池吗?你说过你想在浴室里建个桑拿房。

Curtis: I would really like a portion that's maybe separate from the bathroom, that has shutters that open up. So on a nice night, you can actually open it and see out over the yard or whatever landscapes that the house is built next to.
柯蒂斯:我希望浴室有一部分区域和浴室隔开,安装百叶窗。在一个美好的夜晚,你可以打开百叶窗,俯视花园或是房子周围的景色。

Spencer: That would be cool.
斯宾塞:那一定很酷。

Curtis: But I would like the area to be a little bit private, hopefully surrounded by woods a little bit where you can't see your neighbors immediately.
柯蒂斯:不过我希望那个区域能隐私一些,希望周围有树木之类的可以遮住,这样就不会直接看到邻居了。

Spencer: Yeah, exactly.
斯宾塞:对,没错。
