情景对话
A: Honey! I want to find a famous designer to decorate our new department.
B: Great idea. But don't you think it's more romantic if we design our lovely home by ourselves?
A: Right, why it didn't occur to me? You're a genius. Let's get it started. OK, let's first talk about the color of the wall.
B: Great, now we are painters. We can paint any style we like. How about white? You know, white will never be out. And it will brighten the room.
A: Good point. White it is. Oh, honey, shall we do the floors first or walls first?
B: Of course walls first. If we do floors first, when we paint walls, the floors will get dirty. Plus, solid wood can be very expensive.
A: I see. Tomorrow we should get someone to help paint walls, and make an appointment with someone to do the floors.
B: Yes. After the floors are done, and after the furniture isin, we can buy some wallpaper and paintings.
A: And we need some home accessories. How about going to IKEA to choose furniture this weekend?
B: OK. I'm a little hungry. Let's have dinner and talk about this carefully.
A: Sure, let's go.
参考译文:
A:亲爱的!我想找一个有名的设计师来装修我们的新房子。
B:好主意。不过，你不觉得如果我们自己设计我们可爱的家，那样会更浪漫吗?
A:是的，为什么我就没有想到呢?你真是个天才。我们开始吧。好，首先讨论下墙的颜色。
B:好.现在我们要充当油漆工了。我们能刷我们自己喜欢的任何样式。白色怎么样?你知道，白色永远都不会过时的。而且它还能使我们的房间看起来更亮堂。
A:好主意。那就白色吧.哦，亲爱的，我们是先弄地板还是先刷墙呢?
B:当然是先刷墙咯。如果我们从地板开始的话，那当我们漆墙的时候地板就会弄脏的。另外，实木地板很贵的呀。
A:我知道了。明天我们应该找人来帮我们一起刷墙，然后约好人来铺地板。
B:是的。等地板铺好、家具搬进来以后我们可以买些墙纸和油画。
A:我们还需要些家居饰品。周末去宜家选些家具吧?
B:好啊.我有点儿饿了。我们先去吃晚餐，然后再仔细讨论吧。
A:当然好.走吧。
